Medical marijuana vape for pain relief from Peripheral Neuropathy?

I have have found that one THC gummy (20%) a half hour before bed helps relieve the pain and cramping enough to allow me get to sleep. I know everyone is different but it might be worth a try if you can't smoke or vape.

Were you using an indica. It’s funny I do not know if you are him but there is a marijuana shop called marijuana man online. Living in Texas I seriously doubt it will be legal for medical use any time soon. Looking at moving to Colorado.

I’m in Jacksonville. Have Pudendal Nerve Nauralgia.
To tell you the truth I had never heard of it and am finding out that it is an absolute nightmare to live with.
Can’t wear pants!!
Looking for some relief, especially at night.

I just received some from Blue Moon Hemp. First night was great.
Maybe that was a coincidence, will know more by the end of the week.

I just got back from seeing my doctor (GP). It has been 3 months of difficult pain. He wants me to up my dose of Gabapentin from 300mg morning and 600 mg at bedtime to 300mg morning and 1200 mg at bedtime. I know that is not much but up till now I have been using THC to get pain relief. Being new to this, I wonder if I should up the dose. ( It has been about 11 days since I started Gabapentin), so it might not be active yet.? What do you think is best....wait, or take more now?

Good evening @possiblecidp and thanks @amandajro for the introduction. First, Steve @possiblecidp have you been diagnosed with CIDP? Are you taking any medication for pain other than the medical cannabis vape? And second, another question for which your post appears a bit disconcerting. One single vape puff of medical cannabis reduces your pain to a tolerable level and you now are using it up to three nights in a row. Question #1....how many nights in between the three-night dosages? And #2.....are you really saying that one single draw on a vape is enough to reduce your pain and put you to sleep within 90 minutes?

The reason I am asking is this.......when I started with medical cannabis, I used a vape, and one draw was not able to reduce my pain so that I could sleep. So....you are way ahead of my journey which might be interpreted that you can always add another draw if your pain level continues to become higher.

Since you are in Florida and can visit a medical cannabis dispensary, perhaps the staff "pharmacist" could help you with that answer. And finally, are you familiar with the strain or strains used in your vape? If you are using Indica, that would potentially have less strength than a Sativa strain. So....changing strains can also be a way of increasing the potency of your vape.

I no longer do any vaping because of the danger to other parts of my body, e.g. lungs. However, I can tell you that as my neuropathic pain progressed, my dosage had to progress also. So...I may have stayed with the 2:1 CBD/THC dosage but upped the tincture amount used to 1/2 a dropper as opposed to 1/3 a dropper.

Hopefully, this will make sense and show you alternative ways to increase the pain dosage in one way or another. A final example: As you probably know, pain can create anxiety and anxiety can heighten pain. I began taking Duloxetine 3 years ago and was prescribed 30 mg every morning. It worked better with my anxiety than any other medication. So....as my pain began to ramp up so did my anxiety. My PCP and I made a shared decision to keep the medical cannabis at the same dosage and increase the Duloxetine. I am now at 120 mg every morning.

Please remember that neuropathy in all of its forms is symptom progressive. We must carefully increase our "treatments" to ensure that we can live with the degree of pain and discomfort that we encounter.

How does this sound to you? Helpful?
May you be safe, protected, and free of inner and outer harm.

@artscaping I have late stages peripheral poly neuropathy in my body from my neck down I started using the gummys because it was a mixture of cbc and thc that really relieved my pain this is on top of a Nero spine stimulator I have implanted in my back because it's good at blocking the pain from neuropathy but the pain from swelling and bone spurs and everything else that comes with neuropathy it can't stop that pain and it helps alot
