CBD Oil for PN
 

I have been diagnosed with Sjogrens Syndrome in the form of Peripheral Neuropathy.
I have been living with it for quite a few years now.
Link to my original thread below.
I am considering trying some CBD Oil, for relief mainly.
As it is fairly expensive to obtain in New Zealand, I would appreciate feedback from anyone having tried it for the same or similar problem.
Thanks.

This long thread might be of help to you.

Thanks for that link, it helped me a lot.

Iv tried cbd oil of various brands & To be honest i dont think cbd alone really works especially if you have a diagnosed disease ,but THC i think has worked well ..

Spent quite a few hours reading through the associated threads.
The opinion I formed was, CBD on it's own, may work for some but not all.
So the idea would be to get hold of a small amount & try it.
CBD can now be legally obtained in New Zealand by perscription only.
I'm told it's very expensive from local sources.
I need to find someone who uses it & already has a supply & buy a small amount from them.

I have small fiber neuropathy. I have found that CBD oil topically applied (I have it in a coconut oil balm) is helpful for me. However, since my neuropathy involves the nerves close to the skin, I think it may explain why I get relief from it. I am also taking gabapentin. The combination of the two things seems to work well for me.

Sound promising, I also take. Gabapentin (Amitriptyline)

Just an update on this.
I ran this idea past my Neurologist.
He is very familiar with my case & suggested I would be wasting my money.
So have flagged the idea for now

I agree, CBD "can be" beneficial to a degree for either anxiety or some measure of pain relief. But, the CBD needs to be very high potency, which translates into very expensive.

I recently spent 160 USD for 30ml of CBD oil; so far not seeing noticeable effect on either anxiety or pain. :rolleyes:
