I’m doing a lot of experimenting, but so far I’m microdosing up to 5 mg of Indica between 5:30 pm and 9 pm before bedtime. I carboxilate it and take it orally. As for CBD, I’ve just started experimenting with it orally.

@dealia, @ripley, Good evening to both of you. I don't know if I am following in your footsteps or you are following in mine. However, I am working on a medication program to remove as much Gabapentin as possible. It certainly helped with pain and sleep. It was not kind to my memory or thought processes like planning and executing daily tasks and assignments.

I started medical cannabis in 2013 under the guidance of my friend who was a surgical nurse. I had just been diagnosed with SFN (small fiber neuropathy) and was given gabapentin. It pretty well knocked me out during the day so my neurologist had me take it only at night.

Replacing it appropriately with medical cannabis has taken some time. Remember that unless there is a cannabis pharmacist at your dispensary, you are your own prescriber. So without going through 10 years of studying, testing, experimenting, and learning about this natural element, I will bring you up to date. I now use a 2:1 CBD/THC tincture for evening and bedtime. No problems at all. In the morning, I use a 1:1 CBD/THC tincture as soon as I have something breakfast-like in my tummy.

I also have some 1:3 and 3:1 topical balm for my SFN feet and hands---pain and what I call tingle tangles and numbness. One is for acute pain and the other is for chronic pain.

It has taken me years to arrive at what just might be the best solution for my progressive SFN. I am finally settling in with my PCP and endocrinologist's support. The only factor that I don't seem to be able to control is fatigue......

May you both be relieved of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
