Story about Osteonecrosis .

How life changed in a second.

Nov 10, 2017

By: Austin


AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED  WITH EPILEPSY AT AGE 5 I BATTLED SEIZURES MY ENTIRE LIFE. I TRIED EVERY MEDICATION AVAILABLE IN AND OUT OF THE COUNTRY. EVENTUALLY WE DECIDED TO TRY A CRANIOTOMY/ REMOVING THE PART OF THE BRAIN THAT CAUSED SEIZURES TO PREVENT THEM FROM STARTING. AFTER 3 DIFFERENT ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE PART THAT WAS NEEDED TO BE REMOVED I WAS STILL NOT SEIZURE FREE. 2 YEARS PASSED AND I DISCOVERED THAT ALL OF THE STEROIDS I WAS GIVEN DURING MY SURGERIES CAUSED OSTEONECROSIS IN MY HIPS AND SHOULDERS. I GOT A CANNABIS CARD AND STARTED USING CANNABIS  TO EASE THE PAIN AND WITHIN A WEEK I WAS FROM 10-14 SEIZURES A DAY TO 2 SEIZURES A MONTH. WHOEVER SAYS IT HAS NO MEDICAL BENEFITS HAS NO COMMON SENSE
