Chris @artscaping has written about CBD for Neuropathy if memory serves and I believe has been using it for several years. Hopefully, she will reply here and enlighten us.
Take care,
Jake

Good evening @gamousa and thanks for the introduction Jake, @jakedduck1. Yes, I have been using medical cannabis since my skin biopsy diagnosis in 2013. The results at that time indicated a severe loss of nerve cells in areas of my body. And it all started with a few toes on just my right foot, then the bottom of my feet, and now the condition has moved on up to my ankles.

You replied that you think you will start with a closer look at CBD oil. Actually, I stick with medical cannabis tinctures and topicals. Currently, I have two jars on my nightstand. One is a 3:1 CBD/THC and is best for chronic pain and numbness in my hands, wrists, and feet. The other is a 1:3 CBD/THC which I use for acute pain, especially after shopping at Costco or taking a 2-mile walk along the river.

Here is a link to very current findings about CBD. It is called the CBD project and contains dosing information.

However, you should also know that research is beginning to show pain benefits from THC which may not be an issue for you at this time.

A few years ago when the numbness in my feet became a driving hazard, I began having an MFR (Myofascial Release) treatment every week. I now have these sessions twice a week so that I can continue to drive safely.

In case you would like to research another option, this link is to the Connect version of MFR treatments.

Please let me know if this is a good beginning for you. And ask questions. Together, we can find answers.

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