Neuropathy Pain at Night: What helps?

Posted by Donald @donfeld, Jun 8, 2020

THC or marijuana for me relieves pain from neuropathy. It works every time takes a few minutes and a few puffs of smoke and it comes it down for some crazy reason that makes this drug so popular.

Wim Hof breathing technique and cold plunge help my neuropathy. Cold plunge: 38-40 degrees F. 1-4 minutes (I don’t often do 4 minutes in winter)
With these methods I don’t have to use any drugs

I just wanted to add that I DO NOT judge needing meds, just trying to be helpful and make suggestions. I have had RA for years but the neuropathy pain is waaayy worse than anything I had with RA.

For my peripheral neuropathy, i take Pregabalin, not Gabapetin. There is a significant difference between these drugs despite the similarity in names. You might want to check that out. I find my Pregabalin to be very effective.
I asked the pharmacy to give it to me in 25g doses. My doc recommended i take 6 atbedtime but i find i need to take 2 or 3. I only have pain at bedtime which I do not understand.

The biggest issue is remembering to take it about an hour before bed time.
