@rwinney Thank you for your response so quickly. Yes, I have my medical marijuana card. I have used oil 1:1. It helped some for sleep but no for pain. I go to the dispensary when I can and they no longer carry the same oil I have other products some higher THC. A speak too much THC and I am so anxious I can hardly talk. I have a J as they are called here. I tried several times and lit up, but did nothing but choke. It wasn't that I didn't know how to smoke. I smoked until 8 years ago. I probably need to have one of my nieces over and they can give me a lesson. They certainly are willing. I know THC:CBD can be a life saver. I have not given up and I have several different products. The last time I purchased a spray 1:1. I don't like that at all. It has blueberry flavor and really don't know how much to spray in my mouth. The gabapentin was prescribed for my neuropathy and fibromyalgia. Have others experienced pain that feels like your skin is raw and rubbing against a piece of sandpaper. Yes, ice is good. I will be putting an ice bag on the top of my feet very shortly. I did get some relief earlier after getting up from a flat position. I took the percocet and applied the epsom salt foot gel. The gel actually felt good. My anxiety is returning because night is rolling in. The pain and anxiety makes for a very painful night. I am alone. My husband died 2 years ago and night are the most difficult. I know something has to give. Love you all. Stay safe. I know all that is happening in the World feeds into the anxiety which feeds the pain.

Have you tried vaping your dope? Spring for a device and tun it on the lowest of the 3 settings. Does your store carry vaping pens? Be careful, theypack a wallop.
TO ALL IN PAIN; All of your stories are truly breaking my heart. Why do us human beings have to go thru this? Life has enough challenges, much less having a body that is in a state of chronic pain. I can barely read your posts today, it gets so sad. May everyone's day have a pain level that you can tolerate. My heart feels broken for everyone. May God give you peace...I do not even know what to say.....Lori R.
@summertime4 I understand and empathize with you over anxiety and pain. I use medical marijuana also. It helps fibromyalgia a great deal for me as long as I use a dosage lower in THC higher in CBD. When you have anxiety my research through my doctor and LEAFLY, shows that higher THC can increase your anxiety or make it more pronounced. I use a 1:1 ratio during the day in a tincture. At night 1:4 ratio helps me sleep with out extreme pain. Go low, go slow.
I hope you can get relief.

@summertime4 No need for thanks. I'm glad you reached out during a difficult time. I share nighttime anxiety with you. I'm sorry you're alone. I cant imagine how hard that must be. My husband goes to bed and I'm up alone in pain. I realize that noone can help me during these times. I do, however, recognize the importance of knowing he's there if I needed him. Evenings are the hardest as pain spikes and we feel caught in a merry go round. Many nights i sit like a deer in the headlights and look around the room, knowing I should be asleep, but wide awake and unable to settle my body and mind. Typically, I'm unable to comfortably sleep in my bed. If I can (based on hands, arms, head or eyes) I get on my phone for distraction and shop! Not buying per se but designing in my mind. I love interior design, landscaping etc...Many times I post on this forum. Whatever it takes to distract, calm and tire me out. What a viscous cycle it is, huh?
I wish you luck and encourage you to keep working with medical marijuana and your dispensary pharmacist on options and adjustments. Don't give up... It sounds like your body and mind need calmness and relief.
Positive thoughts for a restful nights sleep. Be well.
