THC/CBD advice for chemo induced Neuropathy
Hi everyone,
As mentioned in the title, this is chemo induced neuropathy from Kadcyla. I have had a week break and we are reducing the dose by 25%.
I'm with curaleaf and have an appointment with them tomorrow, I've seen a lot of posts / spoken to people that say it helps, I have oils - CBD in the morning and THC at night.
I also have a dry herb vape and have tried:
- Pennywise (11% THC/11% CBD) I was advised to use this as my base and always have this
- Lavender Cake (20% THC/ >1%CBD) helped with the pain slightly but tasted bad didn't like it
- Tripoli (20% THC/ >1%CBD) as above, but I get on better with this than LC.
I've seen on various MC subs, discord etc that it helps with neuropathy but struggled to get meaningful advice directly related to neuropathy.
Now this is driving me mental, my hands are constantly burning, pain hitting like 8/10. I'm also on Gabapentin 300mg x3 a day, which we are slowly upping to 600mg x3.
It just won't let up, and without the THC oil at night and 2 bowls of Tripoli / Pennywise mix I can't sleep from the pain. It's in my feet too at about a pain scale of 4/10, but my hands is really where it is getting me.
I do plan to ask the Curaleaf Dr what they recommend for nerve pain but does anyone have any advice for when I am allowed to select my strain of what terpenes to look for, or any other tips of what I should ask for?
I've only been using MC for coming up 3 months, previously it was black market and that helped, so I am aware we've not got the balance right and my tolerance might be higher than first thought.
TIA. Neuropathy sucks.
