My experiment with nerve pain
Hi there! I hope everyone is doing well in their journey! I have been working on fine tuning an approach to deal with daily, chronic pain. I have a spinal cord stimulator that helps take the edge off of the pain to some degree, but the human body is amazing, and the brain is not easy to fool. I work in the information security field, so I am making sure I can still focus on my work, while I attempt to notice my pain a little less through the use of the gummies, chocolate bars, and capsules. I am happy to say that I am having some success! It has been so refreshing to be able to think about my pain less and focus on life a bit more! I am so grateful for this program.

@Megan Forrest Hi there! I know that the results can definitely vary, but in my case, I was able to get a fair amount of pain relief. I would say that it has dropped my pain from an 8 on a daily basis to a 6, or perhaps a 5 on a good day. Initially, I had nearly complete pain relief, but over time, my brain figured out my devious plan and stopped cooperating. So, I had to be put back on pain medications, BUT, not nearly as many, or as large a dose. If I could do it all over again, I would still have the implant placed. It helped me go from being awake around the clock due to the nerve pain, to being able to fall asleep after I find the correct intensity of the signal. I hope this helps!

@Megan Forrest That is so true.

So far so good!
I'm happy to say that the journey is going well so far! Since my ultimate goal is to find some relief from pain and the anxiety that accompanies it, I realize I will need to experiment with higher doses and find the right amount to take the edge off the pain and remain able to function. I am now able to take 1 1/2 gummies without issue, so I hope the process continues to go well. Thanks for all of the guidance!

Let the calibration begin!
"I just wanted to share my experience of taking half a gummy today. I took it 45 minutes before meditating this morning with a cup of coffee. The meditation was focused and enjoyable. In the 40 years that I have been meditating, I don't think I have ever tried meditating with a microdose before. The thing I noticed the most was the almost imperceptible clarity, creativity, and optimism that have eluded me over the last 6 months. It's like a veil has lifted, and there is more possibility. It will be interesting to see what 3/4 of a gummy will do in a few days, or is this the sweet spot? Time will tell."

@Justen Martin I most certainly will! I can't tell you how refreshing it is to have some hope. I have had CIDP since 2007, so the nerve pain is getting a little old by now. :-)

@Justen Martin Thank you, Sir! (By the way, I hope your back pain eases up, and thank you for helping us!)
