Natural (but controversial) Pain Relief That Works for Me
 

Medicinal Cannabis. Yes, it provides some relief once you find the right strain and dosage that works for you. Kratom. Yes, it provides some relief once you find the right strain and dosage (I use Red Bali Strain). And... Believe it or not... Psilocybin Cubensis (A.K.A. Magic Mushrooms). When I combine all three (in low doses), I can actually enjoy my super-boring evenings with a much lower pain level. All three of these naturally occurring plant medicines have been used for hundreds, if not 1000s of years in some cultures. Don't take my word for it. I'm not suggesting that anyone try any of these natural medicines. All three are ILLEGAL in some places. All three are legal in others. Any one of them may be legal or illegal in your country, state, province, county, city ect... So, do your research. Try to research Pysilocybin Cubenses for pain relief, you will find [I]nothing.[I]. As far as I can tell from my own accidental discovery and subsequent research, only me and one other person stumbled across how well it works.

I forgot to mention that Peripheral Neuropathy is my problem
 

Sorry. I just found this forum and this was my first post.

Hi Kiwi33. Nice to meet you. I've tied CBD several different times in different forms (oral, vaping, and topical) with no success. I really wish it worked for me since I'm not a big fan of "getting high", but it seems that the only medicines that work for me all cause some level of intoxication. I recently started taking Lyrica which I am getting for free through Phizer's Patient Assistance Program, and it seems to be helping a little. I'm only at a very low dosage right now, working my way up and hoping it will work well for me. Weird thing is, even Lyrica seems to impair my brain function a bit. Quite a perplexing situation. Oh well... At least I lived a fantastic life for 50 years before my health started failing me.

You might search for posts on our site about Lyrica - just to be aware of possible issues related to it..
