My problem.. I’m 73 and have smoked pot for over 50 years. If I smoke now I get so high I’m banginig into walls. I think my nervous system is weak from all the pain meds. Oxycodone and 2400 mg of gabapentin for severe neuropathy in my feet. What do you all think. ? I have fallen. I’m a mess. Take insulin for diabetes. Tinnitus. Any real advice.
There is only one medication that works for fibromyalgia. It is the lyrica family name is gaba
Entin. I take 3ppmg twice daily 12 noon and 3pm it wears kff by 6pm so at 7pm i smoke half a joint of 23 percent indica lasts 2 hours then to bed by 9pm take amytriptiline for sleep. Minimum dosage wor,s for me.
So loved that episode of The Golden Girls. So true, I think we have all had a similar experience.
Cheers, Diana
