Hey everybody.
It is well known within the MMJ community that cannabis can be effective for some patients in treating epilepsy. However, there is very little information available for treating PNES. Due to the lack of research, I was wondering if any patients here have experience with these types of seizures and treatment.
Here is the situation: I have good friend that has been suffering from PNES for about 3 years now. She has several grand maul seizures a day, some lasting as long as 2 hours. She is on a handful of different medications, which have rather severe side effects. The problem is that the doctors cannot figure out what is causing the seizures.
I want to talk with her about trying cannabis as a treatment option. I mentioned it to her when it first started and she dismissed the idea immediately. She is very conservative, as well as her family that she lives with. She recently told me that she is giving up hope and thinks about suicide on a regular basis. I want to talk with her again about alternative treatment, but am unsure of how to do so. I'm probably only going to have one chance to get her to hear me out. She is one of the kindest and most honest people I've ever met, and I cannot stand to see her suffer.
If anybody has experience with this, would you be able to share any information you can with me? Efficacy, dosages, administration, or any other data/experiences would be a great help. Thank you all for your time.
