I had post herpatic neuralgia migraines after bells palsy attacks that caused seizures and would cause stroke like symptoms. i could not walk sometimes.one time I had a very severe migaraine for 8 days straight.
I could not even walk or see straight. I was taking all courses of seizure drugs, antidepressants. etc.
I took lyrica and it made me have a grand mal seizure. The ER was tired of seeing me, in Ohio they would only provide chronic pain mangement for a year, so pain management was not available to me.
Anyway, I had promised myself if I had another attack of disabling migraines, I would try it [marijuana]. A loving friend brought me some. My symptoms have subsided as I know the course of PHN lasts only 3 years mostly in younger people.
Please do not publisize my name as I am in the medical profession.
If persons going through what I did could not suffer… I am for it.
I would hope that people quit naming a medical treatment with names like “crazy purple haze”. It adds stupidity to the cause and will further drive a wedge for acceptance of this as a true medical alternative.
