JODI'S HEALING
CEREBELLA ECTOPIA | DATE: 4 JUNE 2021
Message from Jodi's Mom:
Our daughter Jodi was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy when she was 4 years old. Since then, it has been a rollercoaster ride trying to get the combination of meds right. We finally got it right and everything was going well. Then about 18 months ago, roundabout when Jodi turned 10, she started getting terrible headaches.
​
Jodi has an incredibly high pain threshold and when these headaches would render her immobile, we knew something was up.
So, it started again - trying to get to the cause of these headaches. We saw every specialist and every time it came up “clear”. The headaches were getting worse and not even adult painkillers were touching sides. She also started with episodes when she “couldn’t feel her legs”. Eventually in December 2020 a MRI picked up something called Cerebella Ectopia. This is a growth on the base of her brain which is putting pressure on her spinal cord and spinal fluid. At this stage they don’t want to operate, and they can only try and treat the symptoms.
Unfortunately, this is not helping with the headaches. She was having 4 to 5 chronic headaches a week. Gareth met Craig through a mutual friend, and he suggested that we try Jodi on the CBD oils that they could formulate especially for her. We have kept her on the meds and started with the oil. We have noticed an incredible reduction in the number of headaches that Jodi has had. She now only has a maximum of 1 headache a week - which is amazing. Since she is on so many meds already, it is such a relief to have her on something natural that is helping her so much already and just after a few weeks.
