Hello again, @jesfactsmon. Thankyou so much for your caring reply. Actually the food here at my seniors residence is very good, but no, they don't cater to special diets, even Diabetic diets. I've pursued that route extensively with no luck. They are rigid on that one.
I've had gout once many years ago so know what that feels like and am confident my neuropathy is not a symptom of gout. Like your wife, I'm unable to take most meds. My one specialist told me that CBD Oil was about all they could try for me at this point, and yet the anticoagulants are presenting a major problem. I have yet to check with my major specialist (one of 4!) to see if he can offer more insight. My research tells me that if my anticoagulant is not metabolized by CYP450, then CBD Oil is ok to take, but Eliquis falls into that category. Two specialists, referring to their doctor-accessed website, said it was ok to take CBD with Eliquis. My CBD oil is 31.1, so barely any THC. My amateur theory is that maybe I could switch from 2 x 5mg per day of Eliquis to 1 x 5mg per day and add the CBD so that the combination would not thin my blood too much, CBD being a natural blood thinner. Apparently, taking the two could thin the blood too much, causing dangerous bleeding. (pretty soon I will have my medical degree! lol). I plan to present that idea to my No. 1 specialist, the one who initially said CBD would be ok to take with CBD Oil.
Thankyou for your thoughts, Hank. I will read the website info you sent me
for more insight.
Keep well.
