Does anyone have RSD/CRPS? Do you know if there's a current research study for this at the Mayo Clinic?

@mille125 Didn't work for me
I have CRPS...don't know of any Mayo studies
@erinaphilly Sad to say this is why CRPS is called the suicide disease. If you don't catch it early (like in the first 3 months) managing the pain is almost impossible. I have tried every treatment that has been know to help without any relief. Good luck to you! Keep trying!
@caitlin9489 Where do you find 2500 mg of CBD oil? I have low dose in a cannabis gummie purchased at a medical marijuana dispensary. Did you have any side effects from that when you started? How long did it take to start feeling positive results? I’m so scared at the moment.
@jshuchart I have an appointment for a consult from the Pascal Institute. They use the Scrambler therapy. Dr. Pascal is a chiropractor but I’ve heard positive reviews from his therapies. Good luck.
@caitlin9489 Do you grow certain strains of marijuana to make the CBD? We tried to raise several strains in our setup but it takes so long to cultivate, then process. It’s legal to grow four plants in our state, VA. Just have never spoken to someone who makes their own CBD. Very interesting.
@caitlin9489 found organic full spectrum 750 mg online through Cornbread. There is another top recommended but the price was $149.00.

No, that is an infusion, not an extraction.
It is majority carrier oil (jojoba, olive oil, coconut oil, whatever,) with a teensy weensy tiny tiny tiny amount of CBD in it. Like you would make a cup of tea, and you would use a tea bag of CBD flower.
A CBD extraction is as if you took the tea bag and used a solvent to extract the CBD cannabinoids from the tea bag. You would maybe have a hundredth of a drop of CBD produced from that one tea bag.
Now take 100 tea bags and you have a single drop of CBD.
People get very confused because both types use the word 'oil'.
In the case of a CBD extract, there is NO actual oil in it. It is called an 'oil' because of its extremely thick, dark texture and low viscosity.
What I take is a CBD EXTRACTION. 1500 to 2500 mg of PURE (or nearly) CBD cannabinoids. It's nearly a solid, split into four capsules a day.
The kind you showed, made with a carrier oil, might provide 50 mg of CBD cannabinoids in the entire bottle.
That doesn't stop neuropathic pain. I wouldn't even be able to tell I took it, it's so small.
Hope that info helps.

Yes I grow my own. I could not afford to buy the dosage I take.
I have had good results with ACDC, Cherry Blossom, and a few others. The all time best is Special Sauce. I grow from seed. Four large plants would be a very good start.
I also have purchased CBD flower in bulk by the pound, and made it that way.
A raw pound of CBD in bulk costs between $150-$300, and makes approximately 50 grams of full spectrum CBD, or 50,000 mg.
I use 3 lbs at a time and make 150 grams from it, which lasts me 2 months, 2500 mg a day.
At a dose of 650 mg, a starter dose for treating neuropathic pain, a lb of raw CBD would make 50,000 mgs and last almost 80 days.
Avoid CBD 'isolate'. It contains only CBD and leaves out the other 120 or so cannabinoids that are in 'full spectrum', and it is not nearly as effective.
Hope that info helps.
