I agree Chris, that weather plays a big part. For me I definitely have more pain and discomfort when it’s cold and damp. And, I itch more in the heat. The itching is a recent step in my neuropathy progression, so I’ll see what happens in the dry winter air in Vermont.

I’ve learned through reading so many Connect patient testimonials that there are a wide range of neuropathy symptoms, as well as a variety of treatment options with varying success. As you’ve alluded to, it seems trying different treatments to see what works best to meet our individual needs is a good course of action. I do agree that medical cannabis can potentially provide relief. However, cannabis (along with many pharmaceuticals for neuropathy treatment) have a major drug interaction with immunosuppressive meds, so I can’t use it.

Thank you as always for your insightful comments. Athena
