Good evening @seniordon09......I am still here for you. However, since there are more than 200 different versions of neuropathy, I would appreciate knowing what your most annoying symptoms are at this time. Let's begin with where in your body you feel the impact of neuropathy and what, if anything, you have tried so far in hopes that it would control your discomfort.

I will jump ahead a few years and tell you that my neuropathic pain is totally controlled by medical cannabis. Two products, tinctures and topicals support a positive quality of life that I could not have imagined when I was first diagnosed 9 years ago.

My diagnosis of SFN (small fiber neuropathy) is the result of traumatic body injuries and surgeries. Do you know how neuropathy found you?

Sometimes symptoms can pop up for a while and then go away. For example, I had what felt like a burning fire in my abdomen for about 6 months. Then, I had feet so numb that I wasn't able to safely drive a car. Right now I am forcing myself to deal with the "neuropathic itch" which is by far the most annoying symptom I have had.

Let's see if we can figure out what your most irritating symptom is right now. What symptoms have come and gone already?

May you be safe, protected, and free from inner and outer harm.
Chris

I got my medical cannabis card and I am not sure why to get for my PN.
I have a burning sensation around the bottom of both thighs.
I was diagnosed with PN 19 years ago but only my left shin and hands were involved. I had surgery on both wrists which seemed to help. Lately my PN has evolved to where I am now using a walker. The numbness is below my knees and makes my gait wobbly.
May I trouble you to ask what kind of tinctures and topicals you use? I am new to this nd could us some mentoring about how to proceed. I had trouble with Gabapentin because it made me “drunk” the last few times I used it so I stopped.
