......looking for the best one to buy.......

Go to 'www.iHerb.com' to see the variety of choices.
You can research the ingredients and additives of each
and decide. I feel Dr's Best and Jarrow have the best products,
at the most reasonable prices, on the market.

Hello. Welcome to the forum. Sorry you're going trhough this. I too suffer from neuropathy and I started coming to this forum with very little information, but I have learnead lots of stuff here. Be patient and give yourself time to get to know your body.

As the others have stated you should find what is causing your problem and not just "let it go"... A special advice I can give you is: get tested for all likely causes in your case, I am no saying, for ALL possible causes in the world (there are many), but for the ones you are most likely to experiment, and get tested for them AS SOON AS YOU CAN. If you can afford it or if you have an insurance and you can put pressure on the people there to test you, do it, because the earlier you treat your problem, the better... I've read cases about people who waited until it was tu late. Good news here is that you are at an early stage and you can halt the damage to your nerves.

:)

I've been reading this whole thread and I think that pbrown is panic-y in response to a period of time in which he/she knows that getting high was not a "responsible" think to do and is suddenly worried that something went horribly wrong. I think the first thing to note here is that there is no known answer to what might have been added to the mj, unless he knows where it was grown, by whom and how (homegrown). There are currently no guarantees about what substances may or may not have been used to enhance growing conditions, in what country, and whether or not there were pesticides, fertilizers or other chemicals. Until it's legally grown there are no guarantees. (personal comment, that's a real shame) Clearly the medicinal effects are beneficial to some people who suffer from pain and effects of chemo and other debilitating illnesses.
So, there are no guarantees about quality...
Next, whether the pain, numbness and pd is coincidental that it occurred while smoking weed, you may never know. It may have been an accident waiting to happen. At 220 pounds and age 43, unless pbrown is 6'3" or taller, it sounds like weight could be a problem. If that is the case then diabetes type II is a thought. It just might be too soon to diagnose. Is he urinating often? Does he get up at night to go to the bathroom?
My advice is to try to stop the panic. Trying asking doctor about switching from Elavil, which is really "old school" to Cymbalta, which addresses both seratonin and norepinephrine. Will help improve mood and y0"spirits". Start small with 20mg for 2 or 3 weeks and slowly increase to 40 or 60mg. a day. It has some side effects so start slow. Lyrica and Neurontin also have side effects, none the least of which is weight gain. So if that's an issue, you might want to try drinking a glass of tonic water. It's very bitter. You can mix it with orange juice of cranberry juice or anything else. It actually is helpful.

Give that a go.

i'm 6-4 and test are all ok. i was drinking alcohol which i normally dont do around 3 drinks a night max during my manic bing for about 6 months ...i normally dont drink and havent or smoked for 4 months. the mj makes me manic which i will explain to my psyc. aand he doesnt want me on alot of anti dep for fear of makinging me manic. alot is going on for me.. getting over a 6 month mania ( lot of mess and loss of $$) not smoking mj and being sober ..i have smoked mj for a long time but just a few tokes after work until my 6 month bing and now my pn which is my biggest worry now. i know alcohol can cause pn and i'm sensitive and 1 post said a friend got pn from just a little alcohol..that is the only other idea. i used to get my mj from a friend
that is grown indoors . i went online and have found nothing relating mj to pn just the benefits .. i'll talk to my psyc. on july 9 about cymbalta..thanks for your reply.

How was Prediabetes or Diabetes ruled out ?

Chemar 06-24-2009 05:10 PM

I have had to do some edits to this thread as a member requested all their posts here deleted based on subsequent information coming to light. Ihave therefore edited all posts quoting those now deleted posts.

a request that anyone wanting further information regarding these edits please contact me via PM rather than speculate here as to why

thanks
