It's like a twinge of pain in the foot or lower leg that grips you for a couple seconds or so, then goes away as quickly as it came, then comes another one in the same place or a different place, and on and on. I take Vicodin 10's and all that stuff does is knock me out enough where i don't care about the pains. When i get home from work i start in on the experimental pain meds, because the pains usually get worse as the day progresses.

Anyway, on passing out, that's usually my hope, at least during the time of day when i don't have to be a contributing member of society.

GD, I know that you hate it when I do this.

But I agree with you.

(Now I better find a post that I disagree with. I have posted three times this morning and each time I have agree with the other person. Must be the weather!)

No I've not seen any surgeons, other than the one that performed my nerve biopsy. I've been told that nerve damage is irreversible. If my nerves can somehow be repaired that would be lovely but it would have to be like a day surgery or something for my cardiologist to sign off on it.

The most frequently reported side effects during clinical studies involved the nervous system and included dizziness, feelings of exaggerated happiness, paranoid reaction, drowsiness, and thinking abnormally.


It sounds like a lot of members here are already taking it...and then post while under the influence.

PUTI...that explains a lot of posts!

Indeed it does. My wife has neuropathy from an old back injury.
My own nerve pain comes in clusters,sometimes 6 months will elapse before it strikes,sometimes a week,but if I need relief and want to stay away from the heavy duty pharmaco stuff it's good to know and grow the 420.

No,no.Simply code language.L.E. knows all the monickers anyway.

Carwise if I want a blast and wish to forget life's problems I jump in the Vauxhall and go racing along 25A or some of the shore roads in Nassau county.

I thought 420 was just Hitler's birthday!

BTW, at least in California, Penal Code Sec. 420 DOES NOT refer to cannabis.
