There is nothing more to say because what you said was perfect! Thank you so very much. I'm a tough cookie but sometimes I crumble a little…no shame in my game.
LDN is in my cabinet with a plan to begin once I'm finalized with CBD/THC dose. Hope your day is peaceful. Thanks again.

It sucks!

I’m not the same person anymore but I’m trying not to loose me. It’s very hard. So hang in there just know you have a new normal which keeps changing and it’s OK.

I'm not sure when or if I will ever accept the new me. I do appreciate your kind words and advice and respect your struggle as well.
Thank you.

New York State medical marijuana card to purchase is $50. The prescribing certified Dr can charge up to $250 for the application and qualification process. I paid $250 total which is an annual fee for recertification.

Touche.

Thanks so much and I don't ever want you to be able to give advice on this topic. I hope all goes well with your Dr visit and any testing you may have. I'll be waiting to hear how you make out. With appreciation for your support

In Missouri, online application for a card is $25. My doctor just filled out his part of the application during my regular appointment. But I don't know if and when Missouri will actually get its act together and open stores.

My regular PCP isn't certified so he had to send me elsewhere. It would have been cheaper the way you did it otherwise. That was lucky for you! I would think soon with stores as it's such a hot commodity.

Hello @arlenejc, Welcome to Connect. I think you ask a great question that a lot of us would love to know the answer. There are a few discussions that you might find helpful since a lot of us are searching for the answer to the question of relieving pain and symptoms of neuropathy.

Have you found any treatments or therapy that has helped relieve some of the neuropathy pain in your feet?

I was just diagnosed with neuropathy. I’m in a lot of pain with numbness, tingling etc. I know it’s due to my alcoholism and have stopped drinking. What can I do outside of prescribed meds to give me a little comfort with the aches, pains tingling, etc. Since this is so new to me, I’m looking for some facts before I deal with the emotional side of it.

Hello. I'm very sorry to hear of your diagnosis and pain. Congratulations on stopping alcohol. Huge step! For now, while you learn more about medications and neuropathy, I suggest ice or heat for pain depending on type of pain and needs. Topical creams with cbd/thc, lidocaine cream or patches, Topricin Fibro/Neuropathy cream, PT for myofacial release, massage, gentle stretching, warm bath with epsom salts or essential oils, rest. Hope this helps. Everyone is different so you really will have to experiment to find what is best for you. Best of luck.

Can you tell us where you have pain and numbness and tingling? The most obvious signs of neuropathy are tingling up to my knees, burning pain in my feet and ankles, and numbness in my feet. My doctor checked my pain response, I found that I have reduced sensation in my fingertips and face. Are there other medical conditions you're dealing with? I think that most of us do.

If you read back through this discussion you'll find lots of ways people treat their symptoms.

I had been treated for depression, anxiety and PTSD and suicidal ideation for several years before neuropathy hit. I've found that there can certainly be a connection between physical and mental pain. That is, one affects the other.
