Hi, @sharka.

I have had sfn for about 30 years. Started meds in 2011, gabapentin, and it was slightly helpful pain-wise, but made me high and I gained about 25 lbs. Then to nortriptyline, which was ok, but my neurologist recommended medical marijuana. That was about 5 years ago. It took about a year to figure myself out. Some of it was that they didn't say, or I didn't hear, that you need a consistent dose so that you have a consistent blood level. and it takes a month for it to build up. So I played around with it and didn't get much relief. But, then I got it and now it is helping well.

I do not smoke. I know many do, but my disease is pretty advanced and I need to have that consistent dose, and smoking doesn't provide that. I take pills. I am sensitive to thc, so I can't have it in the day. So, for the day I take medical cbd only, 60 mg. Then, at night, I take cbd and thc to help me get to sleep and stay asleep. dose depends on if it worked the night before and, if not, I take more.

I hope this helps you even though this is almost a year after you originally wrote.
