A Personal Medical Cannabis Journey With TBI and Epilepsy

Dear friends, my name is Warsawa. I was born in 1953. At age 35
I was a wife and mother of three when I was backed over by a pickup truck
as a pedestrian, on July 2, 1989. I was able to learn how to walk and talk again
and even go back to my career at the Florida Department of Corrections. Two years
later I started having seizures. and my supervisor was the first person to notice
them in August of 1991. Seizures are a ban from any kind of law enforcement
career. I later learned that "uncontrolled seizures" are a workman's
compensation risk so I was never able to use my education and go back to work
again.  On July 22, 1996 I had my second and most severe brain injury due to a fall
caused by medication that negatively affected my balance. My "uncontrolled seizures"
then became life threatening. I tried 19 different anti epileptic drugs unsuccessfully.
I lost my teeth, gall bladder and colon to the side effects of the mega doses of seizure medicines, I was prescribed.  I was evaluated by UCLA for brain seizure surgery twice
and turned down both times.  I was also evaluated for the vagal nerve stimulator twice
and again not found to be a suitable candidate.  My lungs had stopped twice and my
heart once due to the seizures by 2010. I realized I had run out of time and there was
still no treatment available for me.

I made the decision to detox off of my over 40 prescription pills a day and try medical cannabis. Once I detoxed off the prescription medicine I felt much less brain injured. I
never had a clue how much more unaware I was cognitively due to all the medicine I
was taking, instead I blamed it on my brain injury. Once I was using medical cannabis
I was ableto learn how to write a sentence again after 15 years. I was a brain injury and epilepsy writer long ago and I wanted badly to share with my fellow brain injury survivors what was finally working for me! My new found ability to write enabled me to create a written journal of my medical cannabis trials. It also gave me the ability to interact with others again. I have severe memory problems and did not know anyones name. I also had no idea who may one day need the information I was collecting. That is how my Dear friends journal began and I am so thankful to Michael Lee for putting all of them together so that others can learn from my personal medical cannabis journey.
