Medical Marijuana works VERY well for my neuropathy.

Mine too.  And CBD oils, ointments, and capsules are not hallucinogenic.  I am so glad I was able to get away from the opioid pills.

I've heard a lot of different folks have been helped by a compounding pharmacist that can mix the CBD and THC from cannabis so that you get pain relief without the loopy feeling that some fear...but I'm not sure it's readily available everywhere. Here in Minnesota you have to be approved by your pain management doctor and get on the state's list - more info here:

I think one of the big benefits is it is a topical and you get to rub it in where it hurts and get pain relief without what has been described as "foggy brain". In Minnesota there are only two compounding pharmacist - the Mayo Clinic Rochester and the Lake Elmo Pharmacy - http://www.lakeelmopharmacy.com/pain-management-2.html.

It is most definitely a nasty, unforgiving disease. Wishing for a pain free evening for all my neuropathy friends. Psst...If you don't like Ben Gay, try Life-flo Magnesium Lotion - has a great smell and it is one of the best moisturizing lotions I've used on my feet. Nope, won't help with the pain or the numbness!

Hi@medic7054 where do you live to be able to get it?

@parus

I have tried so many drugs, I can't remember them all. Right now I'm taking Cymbalta and Morphine sulfate contin, and I use Lidocaine cream to numb the pain, mainly in my feet. I think I took Nortriptyline, Tegretol, Oxycodone, Capzasin, and others. Acupuncture was suggested but I can't afford it. Now, since I had a spinal cord stimulator implant, the pain in my feet is around 80% better. Generally, they don't hurt in the morning, but gradually hurt more as the day progresses.
