Marijuana to manage TN

Has anyone tried marijuana? How did it work. I've never liked wee, I think I have a mild allergy (it has always made me nauseous when I tried it back in my younger days) but medicinal use is legal here and I know my doc and he'd be more than willing to prescribe it as it's far more natural, less addicting and has less side effects than the other pain meds he's given me.
So I'm wondering if anyone has tried it? How did it work? I really just need something for night time so I can sleep.

I was driven to try it because ER narcotics could not kill the pain initially

It was medical grade

It helped take 30% of the edge off for me --- do some research, you can get brownies, and other products that you don't have to inhale!

Strangely for many of us - sleep one of the only times it never hurts -- But we are all same and different here!

I think the lidocaine patch and Medical MJ were my 2nd best combo for breakthru pain

Reiki was #1 strangely


I've been reading about sleep being the break and how when you wake up you usually are pain free for a little bit yet for me it's completely opposite which sucks. I could learn to deal if I could just get some sleep.
I'm going to talk to my chiropractor about reiki tomorrow. See if he can recommend someone.

I have been using marijuana at night for years with severe migraines I had quit but when I got the TN diagnosis and like you mine wakes me out of a deep sleep and is horrible boring pain I will smoke and take an Advil and use the warmth of my hand to ease mysel back to sleep its defiantly not a cure but it makes it bare able for me … Obviously I don’t use it during the day as I work full time and need to be alert but it helps relax me n reduce the pain … I. Ha emy tried other forms like eating or oil for cooking although I am considering this as I have stopped all medication because I hate the side effects hope this helps … I’m

So have you tried it? What effects did it have on your level of pain? Paying $800 mth. for Lyrica is not gonna make it with us.

I never did end up trying it. The Gabapentin got everything under control. I'm really glad about this since weed makes me so sick.

Thanks :-)

I tried it and found it to be a absolute god send. Helped me sleep, helped me relax, - cant say it actually took my pain away, just made it so that I didn’t care. Not so great for the waist line, I gained 35 pounds ( just watch what you eat don’t be dumb like I was) Had my MVD though no more need for me.

i tried weed and it did not work for me ... it was good grade, just didnt work for me ... two of my doctors suggested i try it, "off the record" ... when i told one of my doctors it did not work, he said maybe i wasnt trying the good stuff ... LOL ...

i tried lyrica, shepherdgirl ... it did not work for me ... it made me very dizzy

Rebecca~I take my dosage all at once at night, and I time it so I do nothing after I take it cause it makes me pretty loopy. It is what has worked the very best but I hate the stuff. I am tempted to try weed, except our local sheriff has already made some people who have all their things in order to have it he confiscated it. We know him personally too.... thanks :-)
