Marie from sunny San Diego
I am an 85 year old retired Registered Nurse. My symptoms of PN started slowly, over 25 years ago with one numb toe. I thought it was sort of cute. I didn’t know what it was. I don’t think it’s cute any more. I am now living in a. Senior residential facility because I can no longer live alone.
I fell a few times before coming here and two times since I moved here. The falls are all related to lack of balance and I now use my walker all the time as do many of the residents. I now even use it the few steps to go to the bathroom at night.
When I fell at night I needed to call for help and I sustained some large bruises and a broken rib. They asked was I. dizzy?…No.
Did I trip ??…No.
They couldn’t understand how I just fell.
I have had painless tingling and numbness for several years. Then it became painful.
I haven’t had many tests or consulted many doctors. The opinions are just that and the tests tend to be painful, expensive and tell us what we already know.
I did see two neurologists.
And I read extensively.
If this is boring , you can stop reading.
To complicate things I have had back problems for 15 years, I’ve had 3 spinal surgeries and a second spinal stimulator implanted.
I now use a narcotic patch, OTC meds for generalized pain.
The only thing that helps Neuropathy is Bel Buca narcotic patches which I tak 2x daily and CBD. I find the. CBD almost magical on its effects on the areas of my body that are hurting,back of my legs, calves and thighs ,feet only when they are hurting. Use just enough to massage it in thoroughly, it’s expensive! I tried several brands and several doses . If you don’t use enough and at the right strength it will not
work and you wil have wasted money. CBD is safe after many studies and is legal in most states.
Oh forgot to say it is a lotion that comes in a tube in different strengths. I use the strongest. 5000 mg. Yes it’s pricey…over$100 per tube. It’s worth the complete pain relief it gives me.
There is no THCmarijuana in it. It lasts a few to several hours. It takes a few doses to get.good results and to maintain therapeutic levels. It. Has no odor.
I get it online at R&R (I think) Meds.
If you do buy from them I would like to know your results .
I would like you to tell them that I referred and you will get $25 off your first order and I will also get $25.
It is not addicting

@sidegate83 Hi Marie, I did enjoy reading your story. I'm amazed at how different it has been for each of us. Maybe the doctors are entitled to charge so much. All 3 of us with PN and completely
different onsets and all heading in different directions. I've been told mine is oxenal (long nerves) I do notice that most who write in say small nerves. Please correct me if I'm going astray. I've also done a lot of reading on covid injections & long covid.. I'd had 5 inj & had a bad dose of long covid, thus Covid is what I am blaming for where I am now. Thankyou Mr Covid Wendy @wenner
