I usually do okay during the day but get horrible nerve pain at night. My neurologist gave me Neurontin/gabapentin for it, but it doesnt do much except make me feel groggy/drunk. Any suggestions to ask my doctor about?

Leg pain at night is something I struggle with too. One thing that happened is my statin caused horrible leg pain. When I stopped taking it, that pain ended. So now I have twitching muscles and restless legs! If it’s not one thing it’s something else. My neurologist put me on ropinerol and that helps. Hope you can find some help. Oh, a bath also helps me.

@A MyMSTeam Member I hear ya about not really enjoying smoking MMJ. I use edibles and tinctures as my doctors told me that the act of smoking would interfere with our DMTs effectiveness, but that they supported me using other forms of MMJ. Have you tried straight up CBD? I've gotten a lot of relief from that....I just add in the THC to help me sleep at night, but straight CBD helped tremendously to get my pain to a manageable level. I recently found a new source - Lazarus Naturals where you can get 40% discount if you're disabled or a veteran. Easy approval process.... Hopefully legalization will be more widespread soon so everyone has access! The inequity of access is really bothersome. XX

CBD with some THC mixed in at night has made this go away for me - or at least I sleep so deeply I don't know it's happening! Hope you find relief soon! XX
