I got my sample supply three days ago and I've been taking 15 drops three times a day. So far it's been a success but I want more time to confirm it. I've cut my Gabapentin dose in half replacing it with the oil. Last night for the first time ever I was 95% pain free in bed. I was beside myself and quickly fell asleep and slept for 6 hours pain free.

This morning my friend told me about Lion's Main mushrooms which contains compound called Erinacines which are isolated from the fruiting body and Hericenones isolated from the mycelium. These two compounds are unique in that they easily pass the blood brain barrier. They have been shown to stimulate production of nerve growth factors (NGF). Supposedly there are numerous studies verifying this. (I'll do more research) This also improves memory and no mention of side effects. So I just wanted to put it out there in case you were interested. I'll get some on tuesday and I'll share any results over time.

Much love to you all. :hug:

Hi Icelander!
did you try cbd oil and lion's mane together? did it work? if not, did the cbd oil work in the long run. it has been 5 years since your last post. so I wonder. Thank you for your reply
I have been prescribed nortriptyline (I haven't taken because I'm trying to find something more natural) for burning and pain in upper back and shoulders, also carpal tunnel. I tried CBD oil and cream and it helped but it is not perfect of course.
I want to try lion's mane with the cbd oil. do you have any recommendations?
did you try acupuncture at any point?
