Welcome to the board. I have had pn for about 15 years and have been through many medications. I use Subutex now and it has been a life-saver. Allows me to think abut something other than the constant pain. For me, opiates made the difference. Constipation is a problem but I use Miralax and it works well. Its a small price to pay to get relief from the pain.

Pot would not work for me. I used it on a recreational basis when I was in my teens and I never enjoyed the effects. It would accent my pain not diminish it. But I'm glad it helps you. Is it legal for you to use it? I live in California and if I needed pot I could get it without having to worry about getting arrested. You are taking the right approach to your fight against PN. Being your own advocate is the way to go. Let's hope one day they find a cure for PN so others will not have to go through what we are going through.
