Seizure-Plagued Grantville Woman’s Health Dramatically Improves With CBD
Stacy Wilson has suffered from severe seizures since she was 4 years old.
All those years of tonic-clonic (formerly known as grand mal) seizures have taken their toll on the 45-year-old Grantville residents body. She now has chronic arthritis in her shoulders, and disc problems in her back.
Ive beat my body to death over the years, Wilson said. When she has a seizure, there is normally no warning, and she often falls into furniture.
She wears a medical alert button around her neck. Since I fell and broke my teeth, and I had a couple of seizures where I quit breathing, my husband decided that since Im by myself, I need it. Ive had to use it twice.
The seizures have also taken a toll on her brain. Im really bad about repeating myself Ill tell you the same story 50 times, she said. Im very forgetful.
Last year, Wilson got involved in the push to make cannabidiol, a component of marijuana, legal for those with seizure disorders and other illnesses. While THC is the component of marijuana that is responsible for the high, cannabidiol, or CBD, has been found to have numerous medical benefits.
