Hello John,

Many thanks for your message. I will look into the possibility of taking supplements as suggested by your good self. I have an appointment at the end of November with my neurologist here in London so will let you know how I get on. I was also wondering if you have ever heard medical cannabis helping with neuropathic symptoms. Cannabis for medicinal purposes has just been made legal here in the UK but I am not sure if it will be prescribed for neuropathy - no doubt it will have to go through clinical trials before it gets approval for certain disorders. Thank again for your help and support. Regards Danielle

Hi Danielle @daniellef, since I don't have any pain associated with my neuropathy I have never thought about seeking help through using medical cannabis. I think it can help reduce pain symptoms but I have no personal experience and no medical background or training. I did see an interesting video on Mayo Clinic's Medical Professionals hub with Michael Bostwick, M.D., Mayo psychiatrist, called "Blurred Boundaries: The Therapeutics & Politics of Medicinal Marijuana." that may give you some insight.
