@jmhd, Hi Jim, I couldn't help but notice your statement about pain not being essential. Actually, in recognition of how it helps, my understanding is that medical marijuana is considered essential during this event. The dispensaries are suggesting that in-home delivery is safer than curbside. I will tag @jeffrapp, @dckuke in case they need to know.

May you have comfort and ease.
Chris

Here, here. My MM is delivered to my door from the dispensery within 2 hrs of reorder. I utilized this service long before the virus bc I can't drive. What a life saver! All in all....using the product and working with educated pharmacists has been very valuable for me.

@artscaping I'm looking for a good CBD non-THC since it's illegal in Texas, oil and lotion. I can't smoke anything. My lungs say no to smoking. Since they found some nodules when they were x-raying for my broken ribs and internal injuries after an accident in December, I'm fine with that. I grew up with parents that smoked multiple packs/day. My husband smokes 3 packs/day. Growing up in the 60s etc., smoking was common. I'm praying that the nodules aren't growing. I am supposed to have a follow-up x-ray in June.
To address the Gabapentin question posted, I have Peripheral Neuropathy Syndrome in my feet up through my legs; also in my hands; Chronic Pain from lumbar replacement and stenosis, plus cervical stenosis. I'm on Gabapentin 300 my/ 3x/day plus Celebrix. I tried Savella and Cymbalta and had bad reactions to both of those meds. Therefore, my pain Dr and I agreed that Lyrica was not an option for me. I am a very small person and have a low drug tolerance. I've had terrible reactions to many drugs so we have to be vigilant. So far, Gabapentin and Celebrix are not causing anything unusual. I have migraines so memory loss was already an issue from Topamax before I started taking these meds. I'm also on Tramadol (3-4/day) and a muscle relaxant that I only take at bedtime since it knocks me out. Nights can be agony with my neuralgia in my feet and legs. And my arms go numb no matter what because of my cervical stenosis. Lucky to get a solid 3-4 his of sleep.
