Living with Neuropathy - anyone else going through this?

Ms.Vee,you can check out CSV Pharmaceuticals and Able Farms.com I have tried both of their CBD oil and they are good for relieving my neurapathy foot pain.Good luck on your search!

I’m diabetic and have neurophy and pain. Ihaven’t Tried CBD oil to help this condition, but have used it for migraines. I found that I get rather pernoid and that doesn’t feel good. Thanks, dawnie ❤️

I am in a severe flare with neuropathic pain due to RA and fibromyalgia. It's mainly in one foot and three toes. I realize that nothing really helps this pain (very much) but has anyone tried any other methods of dealing with it (like meditation or?) Sometimes I feel I can control it a bit when I completely relax my body so I wonder if there is a mind/body connection that I just don't know about. I feel desperate to find  solution as the pain and burning is non-stop. It comes in painful spasms and nothing helps. I take Ibuprofen and Tylenol ones but it helps very little. CBD cream helps a bit but not for long. Does anyone else have fibromyalgia with this? Does anyone have it come is spasms?

@Edythe I also have pain from my RA. It used to be mostly in my elbow and arms, but I've started having it in my feet now too. I know what you mean, I've tried just about everything and nothing I've taken has worked. I've heard that anti-depressants can actually help neuropathy but I don't really want to add another medication to my roster. I've been thinking about looking into acupuncture for it but I'm not sure it would help either. 

It's a tough one for sure. I was on Elavil for years and came off it last fall because I felt it was affecting my REM sleep and made my restless legs worse. I have been on Methotrexate for RA for many years and I have (luckily) had no side effects. It really works for me. In terms of physical pain, the fibromyalgia and the neuropathy are the worst. Aching legs are helped by lots of stretching and my restless legs are so much better now that I am off  the Elavil. CBD helps with the neuropathy which comes and goes - but lately I've had a flare lasting 3 weeks so far. Living in coastal BC is not the best environment for these diseases. It seems that we all just have to try and figure it out for ourselves.

@Edythe I'll have to retry CBD again. I think things have changed in recent years and it's become more "mainstream" so maybe it's more effective now. I hope your flare clears up soon!

@karm!nR 

Unfortunately it helps for only a short time but anything is better than nothing. Have you tried the CBD oil? I haven't and I'm wondering if it's better. If either of us comes up with anything new to try we can share that info!

I have just recently tried the CBD Oil and the CBD Cream. It has not helped me. I even tried the CBD Candy. I had a stroke coupled with the arthritic pain including Lupus. I have developed Neuropathy in my left hand and both of my feet. I have been taking several medications for approximately eight years. Nothing has really helped. However, the medication takes the edge off so that I can deal with the constant pain!

So sorry to hear about you having so much pain. Most people with this are also dealing with at least one other diagnosis. It is a long and frustrating journey but good to share.
