Benfotiamine alphalipoic acid grapeseed oil primrose oil and Lyrica have all helped me with the pins and needles. I’m just starting my research on whether to add cbd oil and whether to rub in or take internally. I’ve been trying to counteract the pins and needles for about 25 years now. All of the above have helped quite a bit but want to add cbd to the mix to see if I can get the pins and needles closer to 0%

Good afternoon @davidhpress .....and welcome to Connect. It is great to see that you will be researching options and sharing the efforts of your work with Connect members. That is such a great opportunity for folks to benefit from the knowledge acquired by other members with similar medical conditions.
My history with medical cannabis began about 10 years ago. We had one tiny "dispensary" and the young man was my teacher. I started with an Indica tincture. Sativa was a bit too strong at that point. When it came to a topical, his neighbor was growing cannabis in his backyard and making a very primitive topical. I was happy to be one of his testers.
At this point, I have found my sweet spots. I use topicals for the pins and needles although I am sure that the tinctures chime in. And you can find out more about the balm by Papa and Barkley, at http://www.papaandbarkley.com. I have both a 1:3 for acute pain and a 3:1 for chronic pain. My pain control is similar with tinctures.....1:1 CBD/THC for acute pain and 2:1 CBD/THC for comfortable sleep.
Please include Connect with the results of your research. As you might imagine.....hundreds of folks visit Connect to read and learn even though they choose not to post themselves. The CBD project site might also be helpful. http://www.projectCBD.org. Quite informative.
May you be free of suffering (pins and needles) and the causes of suffering.

In my experience with CBD, it, by itself doesn't work at all. I was approved for medical marijuana and use the oil that is mixed with CBD oil and that works far better. They have different strains and strengths so, if you are easily affected like I am, you would use the weakest strain or the one with less THC . It doesn't cause hallucinations or anything like that. They offer sativa, hybrid or indica. Sativa gives you more energy and is uplifting. Indica helps more with pain and sleep issues. I was just approved for the choice to use one with higher THC and that will help with sleep and pain. I'll repost after I use that. I'd just save your money when it comes to CBD alone.
