We are talking about tapping into the benefits of CBD for children with special needs. We explore trials, triumphs and daily life. Join us in this insightful episode as we follow Charissa Lynn, an experienced flight nurse, and mother, through her family's 8 year journey of using CBD to manage her son Tucker's behavioral issues, seizure medication side effects, and concentration difficulties linked to his GAND diagnosis. The discussion touches on the process of finding reputable CBD products amid regulatory challenges, dosage trials, and the effects of CBD versus THC. Experiences include using CBD in combination with pharmaceuticals like Keppra, managing medical procedures such as EEGs, and opening a world of possibilities with increased ability to focus. We also highlight daily progress, from practical independence skills like using a microwave to personal victories like enjoying nature and playing Mario Kart. This episode serves as a valuable guide for parents and caregivers navigating CBD treatments and advocating for their children's well-being.
