Question for Dan

What is your opinion of the Medipen now. Has it given you any pain relief.

I wanted to buy one but in your last post you said it hadn't helped with your pain.

Sorry to hear that but I'm not surprised. It sounded too good to be true.

Dan is that the CBD vapouriser thingy? I too was going to buy one as I wondered if it would work for restless legs?

I take Diazipam for my restless legs and it works really well. 1 5mg at lunchtime and another at dinner time.

So sorry to hear it didn't help you Dan. I have all over body neuro pain with a constant headache. I couldn't take any pain meds because I dont trust myself to have them in the house because of previous suicide attempts. I have found medipen to be the only thing that gives me some relief, dont get me wrong it doesn't take the pain away it just makes it more bearable, and I can take it out with me when in the wheelchair and use it to control the extra pain generated by the bumpy pavements, it doesn't matter how good the suspension is its the state of the surface.

The good thing about medipen is no side effects and it still helps with getting to sleep. I used to smoke cannabis for pain relief but could only use it before bed because of the stoned effect so its nice to be able to use it during the day with no cognitive impairment. Hope you have a good day, best wishes, V

I have Medipen I used about 3 cartridges ,by end it changed colour and tend to find it tastes bitter so change it ,and it's good ,it's expensive but find cartridges last far amount time maybe month . I use mine at night mostly definately helps fibro knee ankle leg pain ,it relaxes me and found I can sleep a lot better although I go to sleep late if I wake up I manage to go straight back to sleep . I think like everything we all individual and it might not work on one person RLS but will help another with RLS . I know of another two people with multiple problems one fibro and another MS and they find if don't use enough it does nt work and if use to much get headaches but they have mastered that and are very happy . Flavours are great peppermint and my favourite Hubba bubba I'm trying banana no idea why but it's good . Delivery is far better 2-3 days if pay extra . I watched 7youtube video they helped so much if your do search on fibro site there are links .

Good luck sorry not helped others

Take care
