Hi Chris, how are you? glad you fared well with your COVD vacs. After reading your post it seems you are taking Gabapentin, Cymbalta, and MM to control your symptoms. I have considered Cymbalta (Duloxetine) per my neuro suggestion but MM is not yet legal in my state.My question is: do you have any side effects/interactions from the cymbalta and/or gabapentin? My neuropathy has become somewhat worse lately and the non-thc CBD doesn’t seem to help but after reading side effects of duloxetine I am hesitant. The gaba does put me to sleep but I now am looking for something to take during the day. Thanks, Helen

Hi, there my paper neighbor.......@helennicola. Let's see if I understand. I think I said and actually do the following: My day begins with duloxetine (which I am very happy with....anti-anxiety for the day and anti-depression) and a 1:1 tincture CBD/THC unless I will be driving and then I use a 2:1 CBD/THC. That's it until some easy 2:1 in the "lazy afternoon".

And in the evening.......about 9:30.....900 mg of Gabapentin. (that's 3 of the 300mg.) It starts to work right away and helps me sleep without all the numbness, tingles, and even worse, the needles. I do notice a bit of unsteadiness if I get up to use the restroom after midnight....just be aware. Just as I nestle in for the night I do a tincture of the 2:1 CBD/THC. I seldom wake up until late morning. That is because living with constant pain and other aggravating sensations just wears me out. And yet, if you are too fatigued, you become a bit depressed and then can't sleep.

This regime does take a commitment. Really messes up my day if I forget something along the way. And yet....it makes my day relatively predictable unless the itch crops up. I think you just need to be observant......and notice when you need to make adjustments. I don't know where you are......not CA or OR. You can travel to CA????

I sometimes read that now even 100% CBD can be helpful without any THC. The quality of the plants can make a difference. Fortunately, I haven't had to go down that path.

Let me know how this all works for you. I want to think of you as resting peacefully.
Chris
