Jon,

I am extremely sensitive to medication, and apparently my sensory neuropathy and dysautonomia are iatrogenic in origin. I just started a tiny dose of Cymbalta three days ago. Many side effects....like my pupils are dilated, which has not stopped me from reading all about the severe withdrawal this drug engenders....now have to think if it's worth it. Yet this "dirty" drug is handed out like candy.

Marijuana is so harmless.....to lazy to look up and cite specific research, but the data on the efficacy of cannabinoids for pain relief are in....which is why neuropathy is one of only 10 conditions covered by NYS law.

I just took (inhaled) a little nightly "dose;" for now is the time my pain kicks in, as well as when my various uncomfortable dysautonomic symptoms increase....seems like the pot helps it all. I would love to try it without THC for daytime use.

By the way, I went to UB and spent 15 years in Buffalo...I now miss it terribly....NYC just has lost its charms.....

PS..Autonina, I PM'ed the Dr. Info for you.
