Hi, I have pain and on gabapentin, co codamol, I have neuralgia and I have spoken about this. The issue I want to talk about is the use of cannabis for pain relief. My doctor will not prescribe opiates and I understand this. I found a company c in the UK. I have had an appointment with a doctor from this company and have been given a prescription for cannabi 10mg TCH and 10Mg CBD in an oil at £175 for a months supply. Does anyone have any experience of this this. It is legal with a prescription since 2018 in the uk and you get a card saying you are a registered user and have a prescription. I have not yet decided to pay yet and get the presciption for a few reasons. My main concern is driving and effect on work. I wanted to see if any of you have used this and get your experience. Cannabis , TCH, and CND research is inconclusive for pain relief and the NHS won't fund it due to lack of evidence. That is what I know so far.

I too take gabapentin and the amount has been reduced from 5 to 6, 100mg pills a day to 3 per my Neurologist. I use a cream to reduce the pain and a natural pill, and it mostly works for me.
