Thank you so much. Years ago she saw a neurologist that mention a type of surgery where he would cut a nerve. He made it sound like it was a “crap shoot” and may or may not get the correct nerve. She has been treating with gabapentin when she feels that a flare up is coming on. She says that she can not take the gabapentin daily or that she would be a complete zombie. We weren’t sure if Mayo required prior authorization or referral from her current doctor but looks like no referral is necessary. I think we need to check on insurance at this point.

Maybe you can get a CBD (non-psychoactive) prescription from the doctor. Although it has been found that Full Spectrum cbd produces little to no side effects, whereas isolated CBD (from prescription) has more possible side effects. If dr can’t help, look for Organic, 3rd party tested / GMP brands on the market. Never, ever buy from Amazon. Dr Oz said even buying it from a Pharmacy doesn’t ensure there is CBD in the product. 😞
