Hi everyone,
not sure if this is the right sub forum to post on, but figured it is a start. I am searching for a few different things to try in hopes to help nerve pain/damage that shingles caused. My lady had the shingles about 9 months ago. Once it went away, a few months went by before she started to experience what is known as Post Herpetic Neuralgia. In short, lots and lots of damage to the nerves were done and her pain is unbelievable now. She smokes every day after work, and it helps her to somewhat relax and sleep through the night. It is the only thing that gets her a decent night's worth of rest :\. The pain is on her back (same place the rash was).
So there is some background information, I know mmj has a lot of medicinal affects but was curious if you thought maybe making a topical would be good for her? edible? vaporizer? currently , BHO is what puts her out and gets her through the night , shatter to be exact. i was thinking maybe decarbing and cooking would provide different type of medicinal affect than the smoking she is doing (using a ti nail for oil or a water bong with flowers.) Higher CBD's or CBN's? I dont live in a friendly state unfortunately so it is hard to get some good advice here. I dont know much about this, although i can make BHO (thanks to this forum). any help would be appreciated, or at least leading me in the right direction. dont need to spell out a method or anything just let me know any advice you think would help and i will do the rest . Feel kind of lost and helpless, just hate to see her putting on these Lidocaine patches every day and taking Neurontin and Demerol. There has to be other solutions, i just have not found them yet.
Thanks Riu
