When my sister finally decided to have children, she thought the hardest part would be getting them to listen on a daily basis.
Like many of us, she thought that her troubles would start and end with disciplining children hell bent on misbehaving.
However, there was nothing that could have prepared her for a life caring for a sick child. My niece was diagnosed with a number of severe health conditions from an early age. Her two worst problems are epilepsy and kidney disease. She gets kidney stones at least once a month and has seizures daily if she’s not taking her medication. It absolutely breaks my heart when I see my niece in so much pain. Although the doctor was able to prescribe her a number of different epilepsy drugs, most of them left her extremely tired and fatigued. As a last ditch effort, her phenomenal doctor suggested that she take CBD products to see if that would have the desired effect. He had seen similar results with a patient of his associate physician, so he was hopeful. She responded so well to the CBD and both her parents and her doctor were thrilled with the results. Aside from relieving seizures, the CBD is also helping with the pain she experiences with her kidney stones. I think it’s great that there are doctors out there willing to prescribe CBD and hemp products for children with particularly severe medical conditions. Without the CBD, I doubt my niece would be able to function to the degree that she does. It was a life changing experience for her trying hemp for the very first time.
