@irr4et I have come off all opiates In October I was on them for the last 30 years. I have been trying cannibas for pain relief. What's a good CBD,THC ratio for NP relief?

They don't like you experimenting with controlled substances.

I take generic Lyrica 50 mg only at night. It has helped me a lot with PN, whereas Gabapentin did nothing. I haven’t had any issues if I forget to take it, but it is a small dose.
If you can make it work for you, great. In my case, I gained 50 lbs, had total brain fog, and even at 300 mg/d, did not get pain control. It took me a long time to get off because of the rebound pain, and withdrawal at too quick a pace triggered seizures (I'm an epileptic). If it's possible for you to find the underlying disease or mechanism, and if there is some way to treat or cure that disease or mechanism, so much the better. Lyrica is believed to work (I think) by boosting GABA (a calming neurotransmitter) activity. Your underlying mechanism may relate to GABA itself, its cell receptor, reuptake mechanisms, etc. Genome testing is how I found that my underlying mechanism had nothing to do with GABA, but is instead likely related to a mutant mitochondrial protein.

What wks well for me and allows me to be functional (run errands in daytime) is TruClear Ratio 1gram syringe. I put the amount of 1/2 of one rice grain on the end of a toothpick and put it under my tongue for 7 minutes, twirl it then suck on the toothpick to get all of the serum. It will take effect in 1hr and last 6 hrs. Use Indica TruClear 1gram syringe at 9:30 pm but this time you will need 1 grain of rice (not 1/2) on the end of the toothpick. It helps make you sleepy and also relieves a lot of pain.

I have a spinal stimulator in. When my pain is bad, I have a cold shower, yes in winter too. Then go lie on my back on my bed, turn the stimulator up for a higher pulse. That all works, but without Lyrica and Cannabis oil, the pain comes back sooner. I take 300mg Lyrica in the morning and 12 hours later 300mg again. You have to start on a low dose and work your way up to the dose your dr wants you to be on. In the beginning you do feel sleepy but it eventually goes away.
Good luck yeh all.
