Sudsy,
I have found that it has been difficult finding a neurologist that just deals with nerves. Most also deal with head, spinal issues also.

Agreeing in prayer with you, Dancing Wolf. For many years I felt that MMJ was a God given medicine.
Your doctor is smart. And, honest.
Oils and edibles. They can help one get through horrific pain and trauma to one's body.
Unfortunately, still sch one and not looking good in our country for approval of this now. Two yrs ago, NY was all happy that they were gonna make it legal. I believe for medical conditions mostly. Our Governor edited the bill before he signed it into law. Now, I hear some illnesses can receive it, but one must pay 8000$ for three months of treatment.
We need it legal. I also believe it was given to us for our health.
It is Well with My Soul

Charon,
since young I always thought there had to be something God-given in this plant...
it has over 250 "ingredients" in it that are not found anywhere else in any other plant in the world
why would this be? unless it had a Special Purpose - to help us
from ancient times it was used in the East, even by the Emperor of China, for various ails
it was listed and used in the USA Pharmacopeia until 1940 for medicinal purposes
Now USA puts a patent on 'non-medicinal' plant "with no medical uses" - why? cuz it's definitely medicinal and they want in
I read a financial article today urging people to invest now because the mmj market is going to zoom next few years
not that much research has been done so far, but it shows mmj has amazing potential in several areas of illness/disease
serious diseases including cancer, parkinson's, etc.
but govt propaganda convinced generations before us it is a "gateway" and even dangerous of itself
we must fight for our right to God-given natural treatment
many meds are in plants and effective, not much harm, in natural form - it's when men toy with it, change it... we have a problem
Ex. aspirin tea from willow bark compared to concentrated tablets/powder than can damage GI system, ulcers etc
Ex. South Am natives chewing leaves with cocaine which helped boost their energy in mountains and quiet hunger pangs
but educated men changed to powder and the problems began.
just one example
apologize for my lack of capitals but hands are very painful tonight and i'm not in a good place myselfanyway, sitting in dark & quiet room just trying to cocoon for now, only light is computer... going to curl back up
wrestling with life, guess you'd say
just wanted to put in my 2 cents
have a good evening, friends

I have a booklet that is available underground here locally about the uses of mmj or more specifically oil I think as it appears to be mainly cancer related. Apparently it has worked for 60 people so far (I don't know how many have tried the methods).
There are all sorts of attachments so not sure if I can put it up here as I don't know what's in them all at the moment

Wow! A neuro that knows the truth. Thank you for your post and candor. It gives me hope that maybe some medical professionals are seeing the light and concluding that this herb can help people without the adverse risk from pharmaceutical drugs. It isn't for everybody, but those that respond well I find have a better quality of life after adding herb to their regime .

Hello,
Well I finally got a appointment with a neuro early next month for nerve pain after I had a total hip replacement. So far I have tried gabapentin lyrica, neurontin all with bad side effects. I have heard this neuro is good but kind of a jerk so we will see what happens.

I know someone who's had fibromyalgia for 20 years, and MMJ is the best thing they've ever tried for it. Interestingly, they say only eating it gives pain-relieving effects; smoking/vaping it does nothing.
