@rwinney. Forever grateful Rachel. That was super duper! "Balanced pain relief" a collaboration between medical cannabis and an opioid. You're right.....that must have taken a lot of experimenting. Variables would include medication, distribution type, time of day, and dosage amount if you were varying the dosage depending on the time of day. I knew you would "find your groove". You toughed it out in a successful effort to improve your quality of life as in "Pain be gone--I will not be your hostess".

I hadn't thought much about the progression of your SFN as another variable. That is hard to measure and yet it happens to all of us as more and more of our nerves take an early out. That is no time to blame the medication, the clinician, the medical system. We own this.
It's "too bad Charlie" about the tinctures. Took me a while. Now my go to's. You probably want it to taste like Champagne, I'll take Single Barrel JD.

Do I have this wrong? Dry eye is a result of SFN. Or, at least that is one of the reasons I had to wait for cataract surgery. The other was living on a dry mountain with the humidity running about 10%. Took two years to get them ready. What are you using for your eyes? Do you relax under a moist compress or eye pillow? Have you had a picture taken of your lacrimal glands underneath your lower eyelid to find out if any are drying out?
I have more: have you had the fluid in your eye tested for consistency?
and the last one: have you ever had plugs inserted in your tear ducts to prevent moisture from escaping?

Be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
