Can smoking give relief for cavernous angioma

[NeedRelief19]

I am a 24 year old female who has been diagnosed with cavernous angioma in my left tempral lobe, veinous angioma in my fight frontal lobe, and possible fibromyalgia. My symptoms include fatigue, nausea, constant headaches, sleeplessness, and partial complex seizures accompanied with loss of motor skills and some short term memory loss.

My Dr. tells me that the seizures are most likely from the cavernous angioma in my left tempral lobe, and that the migrains may be attributed to any and all of my problems. I have tried a couple of meds, i felt great the first 2 nights but on the 3rd day, the side effects begin to outway the benifits.

I have hear of people using marijuana for epilepsy, pain, migrains, stress, insamnia, nausea.....pretty much everything that i am dealing with. My questions are:

     1. Could marijuana help with my symptoms?

     2. What risks am i looking at given my angioma situation?

thank you

I have multiple cavernomas left temporal lobe has bled and can relate to the symptoms you speak of. One of the cavs in the basal ganglia has left me with full on dystonia dominant right side. Long story short all the meds tried on prescription have had life threatening side effects and was recently in so much pain that nothing touched it. Add to that I had a less than helpful assessment with a dietician who frankly was just nasty and we will leave that one parked...so having researched and read everything I could get my hands on I decided that I had nothing left to lose...in effect were I was at was do I book a ticket to Digitas or try the CBD oils. I opted for the oils. The outcome...2 drops under the tongue, tastes disgusting but my gran did tell me that if it was going to do you good it will be nasty!, 2 hours later the pain in my spine was totally settled...I pottered about doing bits of housework ( something I havent been able to do in 3 months), day 2 I went my own food shopping in my wheelchair for the first time since oct, day 3 I went back to church to a lovely reception from friends I hadnt seen in a while, day 4 I went back to the pool and swam 20 lengths of the baths. Its day 5 now and I have not had so much as a paracetamol in 5 days I take 2 drops under the tongue in the morning and am proceeding with caution. My meds 5 days ago...8 tramadol, 8 paracetamol and 6-10 benzodiazepines a day!...meds now 2 drops under the tongue a day and a life because life is medicine and a medicine that we all need...God Blessxx

I am a 40 y/o male that was diagnosed with this in 2006. Mine seems a bit more complex than most.  I have a few bigger ones, and a astronomical amount of smaller ones. I've been researching into cannabis oil that has high amount of CBD's and low amounts of THC. Seems that CBD or cannabinoids are the healing factor that the body takes on and utilizes.

I can totally relate to the headaches/migraines, sleeplessness,  tremors at night, permanent short term memory impairment, balance issues, anxiety, and few others. Multiple Doctors have told me I can no longer work.

I've read this can help with; alzheimer/hutchinson disease/RA/ and numerous others. So in my opinion I'd say neither one of us has anything to lose, and everything to gain.

Hello,
I'm 19 years old. My name is Rashid Azarang and I was diagnosed with cavernous angioma malformation, which was taken away with surgery. I had no headache nor symptome, but from one second to another I had an epileptic atack and had a hemoragous stroke.

Today, 3 months after surgery. I can tell you, I'm perfectly fine. I don't know what to say really, it's my first time talking about it.. but here's my mail if you want to talk it out: rashid_azarang***@****
