I have been recently diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy. I have burning pain on the bottom of my feet and heel pain. I'm interested in your CBD type and dosage - can you share this information?

Hi, I do take CBD oil, however truthfully I find it rather ineffective. I trust the health benefits claims around reducing inflammation etc but I don’t see any real benefits, especially with pain. This is with pure CBD oil with a very low concentration of THC at 0.07%. I have also tried Indica CBD oil with 25mg/ml total THC - the highest concentration of THC you can get to aid with sleep and pain but again this does very little for me. Gabapentin helps me sleep so I can at least forget about the pain for awhile (400mg) at night but does next to nothing for pain control in the waking hours. I have yet to find the magic lotion, potion, cream, pill, food, exercise, routine or anything that actually helps. Good luck to you. Please share if you come across something that works. Take care

I've used it for Small Fiber Poly-Peripheral Neuropathy. My SFN problem started 12 years ago so I have a huge toolbox to help me. I've used CBD for some other aches and pain related to neuropathy and some of the balms do give relief. Others in the house have used it on muscle aches and say it's very effective. However, all CBD Oils are not the same. There is a online site Calle http://www.leafly.com they are for all things cannabis plant. You can do some research there, and there was a recent article listing the CBD oil claims by companies versus actual CBD percentages in the oil.

Hi. I've been taking CBD oil for the past year or so. I order mine from a supplier called Spectrum Cannabis. It's a 40 ml bottle, which contains less than 1.0 mg/ml THC; 20.0 mg/ml CBD. I usually take 0.4 ml 3 times per day. I find it effective in reducing the pain to a manageable level.

Wow that amazes me that a low strength CBD would be effective. Great. My sublingual CBD is either 1000mg or 1500mg.

Goodmorning @demonsleeve, Thank you for your post with a reference to Leafy. It is a good resource. You are also so correct that there are a plethora of CBD options and the lack of legality nationwide leads to inadequate or no regulation of growing and production practices for many products with potential for quality of life improvement.

I am using a 1 ml dosage of 1:1 CBD/THD 3 or 4 times a day. It just makes pain and discomfort manageable. Life is more enjoyable and I can contribute to my own quality of life in a non-threatening way. I have both chronic myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) and small fiber neuropathy (SFPN).

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris

What brand of 1:1 CBD do you take?

@arismac

My best advice is that there is currently no known cure for neuropathy and managing symptoms is the best we can do. I will always regret the fact that I was not warned prior to undergoing chemo-therapy. Had I known the risk I would never have taken chemo in the first place.

@terrydclaar, Thanks for responding to my ongoing experimental research with medical cannabis. My opinions are just that, my opinions. One other variable is availability of stock. And I am always evaluating product for consistent performance especially with different bases and delivery systems.

Consistent: Care By Design
Responsive: Outco
When in stock: Dr. Ram
Worth a look: P&B

Be free of suffering.
