Hi Diandra,
Good to hear you were able to get first-hand advice and are seemingly reaping the benefits, even if it starts with a reduced headache and a loud slumber. I wonder - will you have to prepare extra Thanksgiving food to stave off The Munchies, or does MMJ not have that side effect? Dave.

Hi Diandra,
The "burn" sounds uncomfortable. I hope you find the best product/method/mix for relief. I understand it can take time to find optimal treatment. I hope you have had a joyful Thanksgiving. Love and Light, DejaVu

I got over the burn but do wish I had been warned. It is taking some trial and error but, in the good news dept, it has helped with headaches that have been caused by another med. I had a nice Tday....hope you did as well. D. |

You hit the nail on the head ! Unfortunately, it does seem to have the munchies side effect. My husband reminded me I woke up from my hibernation-like slumber after my first "hit" and immediately asked for a brownie heated in the microwave with ice cream(something I RARELY eat but it was in the house for company). He thought that was hilarious that within seconds of waking up, that was what I asked for....he asked me if I needed anything and he meant like a glass of water! Thankfully, I DID make extra food. Hope everyone had a nice Tday. D. |

[QUOTE=Diandra;1185955]Hi Dave,

Hope everyone had a nice Tday. Hi Diandra i was just reading your post from Oct. I was wondering have you gotten any response yet and have you tried the MJ yet? and if so, did you try the CBD and did it make you feel high? and did it help your pain? what type of pain do you suffer from? I suffer from small fiber neuropathy, I am in NY, they legalized it here and I am hoping to find this to help me with my pain and burning skin and feet . thanks |

I am lost in my pain
It's one thing not able Or rather just couldn't do anymore trial and error My use of MM Is the only thing that keeps my mind from snapping My pain is so great right now and in the last six weeks a flare up my upper right back I have been without a shirt or anything for that matter My lower back just not worth talking about But the pain is so great I just want to die There is another seven minutes before I start my med intake I have been on the same time upon intake I feel once I begin messing with my clock my body has become used to regimen I do not like having to take any The withdrawal alone is freighting in itself I am under medicated only because I fear becoming a zombie It makes me so bloody angry I just want to die Just knowing my nerves are not calm They are just burning this body up without fire My waist just cut me in half My hands feet just cut them off they do not work upon command I drop everything My neck and base of my skull Someone please just bite it out Just as a animal who hasn't eaten in weeks Rip it out please Just rip it out MM has allowed me some respite I cannot imagine not having it if need be And I need be Being a recovering alcoholic for twenty four years now just drives me nuts Alcohol the culprit for many And there are many who do not loose their privileges to a few drinks To have to know take opioids to give me some relief for my mechanical problems my spasms the small nerves like biting ants all on my back feet hands Taking my meds is a huge mental battle I have no choice in the matter And to think I WILL go through severe withdrawals if I did not have them And yet "I" know there sits a bottle on the shelf Just three shots just three And that numbing feeling just comes over you Twenty four years for what I am screaming in pain Just kill me please And yet I'm not ready to give up the fight yet It is getting harder and harder I have a couple of years left taking my tamoxifen for having the breast cancer That just hit me I still can't believe I had my breasts taken off to eradicate my disease But why do I still feel like I am slowly dying This is not how one should feel Oh if I could explain the horrible feeling I have in my gut It never fails me I know something underlying is going on I still have no explanation as to why the veins in my hands and feet swell burst and cause bruising Go figure No blood runs to the tips of my fingers Or the tips of my toes Only my maker knows my pain And I am scared Me

Eva, I so wish I had a magic wand for you. I hate to read how poorly you are and the daily challenges your family put before you. Sadly we can do little to influence family or their thoughts and actions. Thinking of you and wishing you some answers soon

[QUOTE=Marie33;1196278]I am so sorry for your pain. I know how horrible burning pain can be. I suffer with "Idiopathic" small fiber neuropathy. Mine has progressed to all over my body. Buzzing, tingling, stabbing, burning all over. I developed a horrible tinnitus. I wish I could give you a big hug. What do you take for your burning pain?
Please stay strong. ((Hugs))[/ Hello dear friend Pain kills this person And many here My story in short My mechanical pain is being treated with opioids muscle relaxers My neurological pain I do not take any medicine for We have tried at least ten or more Nothing is working finding me the right medicine that does not harm me as they do And I am tired of the trial and error of it all I have been coaxed so in it all failed to find anything that worked Hence the invisible pain That you talk about The burn that kills like someone took a piping hot iron to my body and nothing to take for it to make it stop Smoking helps on several levels And that is my experience You take good care Me

Don't know if you guys heard, but they finally passed the MMJ law in Pennsylvania a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, estimates are that it will be 18 months to two years until the dispensaries are up and running, but at least it's a start.
