I have heard of it for years but have not heard of anyone taking it. It is used for cancer patients and aids patients. I've often wondered why it hasn't been used for RSD patients.
My Dr. mentioned it to me one time but I can't remember what the conversation was about. I have heard it mentioned here in Colorado on the news. It's sure not talked about much.
I have lost 2 sisters, a brother to cancer and have one fighting colon cancer now. I have lost 29 relatives to cancer and not one of them was on the Marinol so I wonder how often it is used for anything.
Bigsav, hope the ketamine works for you. I have been blessed with good medical help but it took us years to get my pain level down to where I didn't want to kill myself. I do remember what others are going through now. I still have the pain, today in my chest, but not like some of you are going through right now.

Hi Ada, Thanks for the information . I am so sorry your brother is fighting colon cancer. I, too, have it in my family. In fact, I cared for my mother, age 46, during her last months of colon cancer. She died this month in 1973 and I was just thinking of her pain - I gave her morphine injections-that didn't touch her pain. There wasn't hospice back then. I was able to care for her until the last two weeks-then hospitalized. My worst pain is in the morning- and I was mentally thinking of her pain and how I feel this morning.
I, too, have a wonderful Dr. who has got me on a mixture of meds that has brought me out of the place you used to be in. Flares are bad, but for the most part the late afternoon and evenings are tolerable.
Take care, your friend loretta
