John; Thank you for your rather extensive reply! I couldn't agree more about big Pharma!! My small fiber peripheral neuropathy started literally overnight in 2007. After trying a Podiatrist, 2 Chiropractors and several other BS treatments, I went to my GP and he prescribed Gabapentin for me...

Thank you for your post. CBD by itself has not helped, however not everyone responds to medications the same way. Do you remember some years ago when a couple were desperate to find a treatment for their child's Epilepsy. The child's name was Lorenzo and they tried CBD orally and the seizures...

Mario; Thank you for your post. My answer to you is YES, although I take CBD/THC oil for sleeping. I have been using this 10:10 oil for about 5 yrs. I have not seen any improvement in my neuropathic foot pain.

This posting is for all of you who have been kind enough to reply to me. As I stated in previous posts, I'll tell you what I have tried which did not work. #1 compression socks; These turned out to be useless and I took them off after 10 minutes. They squeezed my calves way too much even though...

Hello AzRover, Thank you for your advice about Lidocaine. No one has ever even suggested this to me. I will have to wait for a while before trying it however. I have just started using a cream containing CBD and THC oil. This is available only to people in Canada who have a license for medical...

Hello Katlupe, I ordered powerlix compression socks that arrived today from Amazon. I have relatively thin feet and legs, not muscular. Ordered l-xl, they are so tight that I could not wear. Please let me know what compression socks you are using and whether the sizing is appropriate. I am 6...

Kaila, Thank you for your reply. I joined the forum for exactly the reasons that you stated. I am awaiting delivery in the post of the cream and am going to use it for a week before coming to any conclusions. Please be advised that the cream contains not only CBD oil which as I understand it, is...

Hello Katlupe; Thank you for your reply. Can you tell me what brand of socks you have used? I have been unable to tolerate socks since 2007 when the neuropathy started, quite literally, overnight. It has not spread beyond my feet. Phil, Strathroy, Ontario.

Hello Ruby, Thanks for the welcome to the group. No, I'm a Canuck living in Ontario. I am considering compression sock but first I am going to try some CBD/THC cream on my feet. I have a license for medical weed but I don't smoke it. I was diagnosed with a sleep disorder my a licensed physician...

Thank you Jon - all the way from Paris. I do not have any of the deeper issues noted above. I am a firm believer about not taking medication unless absolutely necessary as the side effects can be worse than the issue you are trying to correct. I hang my feet over the end of the mattress as...

Hi Nathan; It sounds like we have been, and still are, in the same boat ( RMS TITANIC ). I too cannot stand the weight of the bed sheet and comforter. I have not even been able to wear socks since the onset of this condition. I used to wear socks to bed because I didn't like cold feet! I am now...

Thank you, much appreciated.

Thank you for your reply and the link. I will look into that source today. The fact that you mentioned that the socks were good for long flights is indeed fortuitous. I was talking to my wife just yesterday about the possible benefits of compression socks in this instance. In june this year, not...
