What is the name of the book you're reading, daniella? I'd like to check it out.

Nutrients for Neuropathy,Numb toes and aching soles:Coping with peripheral neuropathy, and Numb toes and other woes:More on peripheral neuropathy
I thought they offered some good info but I think some of the stuff they suggest really needs to be checked by the doc.

That's funny. On our website (my other half and I) there is a link to Amazon for this book. Guess it's a sign, huh?

Jarrett, mj is never going to taste particularly good, lol. What medicine does? But I bet you did what every young person does, and put mj straight into your brownies. Yuckos!

The best method for using mj for baking is to make mj butter, and then replace the reg.butter/margarine called for in the recipe with it. It keeps for a very long time when refrigerated, so you can make a big batch at a time.

When done this way, you strain out ALL the sediment, and end up with green butter. It can be cooked with, put on toast, whatever. I used to make cinnamon toast with it, to help mask the flavor. Add a cup of hot cocoa, and you're all set!

But here's a warning for anyone considering eating mj or cooking with it... the effects last much longer than smoked mj (Another reason for consuming it instead... it goes a lot farther when used this way). If you try this, make sure you have a full day of no responsibilities just in case you overdo it.

After 5 years of all the testing and mediciations I have found taking Lyrica 75mg x 2 and a halfbowl at nite 1 hour before bed time makes for a great nites sleep and a following morning with a pain of 1 that being the tingling , also able to walk with a fairly good gait. There is an article from a major medical school in the neuropathy association newsletter about paitents using marijuana for pn pain. A while back I went cold turkey due to maxing out on a drug mixture I was taking and after reading this article I experienced the relief that mj has to offer. Vicodin is very addictive in case you wanted to know. If you are taking a mixture of meds please pay attention to the PIS as side effects might be more harmful. Hope this helps you nice people

Stagger mentions addiction in the last post, which raises a question for me. I have always wanted to know how many people truly experience withdrawal? I have, in my lifetime, quit crystal meth, paxil (numerous times), vicodin and morphine. I never had a bit of trouble doing it. My mood might have been a little flaky for the first few days, but that's about it. No physical problems, though.

How about any of you?

(if this is a "thread stealer" or what ever, I'd be happy to move it, just let me know)

To come back to the original post, stopping an anti-seziure medication too fast, i.e. neurontin, can result in big trouble. It is technically not a withdrawl and is better understood now than years ago. But still it does not hurt to caution people

My MS neuro back in OH, always told me it is not addiction if you use it as prescribed ... it is dependence. Necessary for sympom relief.

Just my 2cents. Will go back to lurking now.
