Hi St. George! I'm very sorry to hear about you're situation. I hope that you will find a way to achieve proper pain relief, because what you're going through is terrible. I am currently taking otc b12 supplements as per my neurologist, and currently using small amounts of CBD for pain relief. It seems to work reasonably well, at least to take the edge off. It doesn't seem to help at all with my extreme fatigue or difficulty breathing/pre-syncope. Taking it one day at a time, trying not to fall off of my rocker or lose my job! As a side note, I love Georgia. I lived in Woodstock for a few years, and it was heaven compared to Ohio!
