It has been about week since my last post and CBD is working very well. I have found the right dose and I am on a regular schedule. It has completely removed my pain-related symptoms: tingling, stabbing, stinging, electric shocks, all of which were constant and antagonized (more like terrorized) me, they are all suppressed now, comfortably and consistently.

Also, just before I started the CBD I got a new compounding cream that might be helpful to some. It contains small amounts of Clonidine and tetracaine that really helped for the topical stinging. Topical Clonidine gel is now in Phase III clinical trials and positive results have been documented. It could still be more than a year before a product hits the market but compounding pharmacies already make creams with it so for anyone suffering, it might be an option to discuss with your care provider.

I still have PN but for the first time in two years, I feel that I have the pain under control with CBD and without the intolerable side effects of the numerous prescriptions I've tried. The bigger issue now is the numbness and I remain hopeful that with (not too much) time, the nerves will regenerate.

I will keep posting but wanted to report that I am very happy with the results so far.
