Ah, therein lies the rub...neuropathy is one of the many enemies on my MS list. Gabapentin is supposed to help, but I didn't notice much relief from it.

Honestly, cannabis reduces all of MS sxs in my body. I'm on baclofen and clonazepam for spasticity and it doesn't do the trick at all. I can't take zanaflex; so now I work with various forms of cannabis to help out. I am a lawbreaker until the Illinois medical cannabis law takes effect, but it's quality of life now, no matter what the law says

I hate the neuropathy, though, because there is really nothing physically you can do to reduce the pain. Stretches help reduce spasms, but what can you do when your electrical system is throwing short circuits through your body?

Hope you can find some relief...
