A good ramble once in awhile don't hurt nothing !-- One thing for sure is long as we all live on this one rock we can cease to exist with one big rock !

Hey oldies, nice warm day here in NCal...worked in the garden...got a package in the mail...had a toke or two of some sunset sherbet...thanks Rose...nice relaxing high...tomorrow morning I’m gonna try some lambsbread, see if I can finish my garden...any of you old people suffer from Peripheral neuropathy? My feet are getting worse and worse and I sometimes worry about losing my toes or worse...I’m not a diabetic but I do have the problem...they are numb and tingly but burning at the same time and getting worse gradually...everything I read says there’s no cure and they just treat the symptoms...weed doesn’t seem to help too much and I don’t need to smoke more...I’m absent enough now...well, cheers to y’all...

Redeyes that was one of the diagnoses they threw at my work BFF with identical symptoms a few years back. First they said gout, and treated it as such. Made it worse. Then they thought nerve degeneration and told him basically suck it up buttercup....

Then he had a surprise femoral aneurysm and almost lost his leg. They replaced much of the artery and ballooned other parts to fix circulation, but the surgery didn't hold more than a few months and he's holed up alone in West bumcluck new Hampshire waiting for another go when it's safe to set foot in a hospital.

All im saying is I hope they ruled out circulation blockage before throwing big words at you. If it's bilateral though, the chances of a localized restriction are low and if it IS, it's closer to the heart.

Sucks to be going through that. I hope you can find some relief and a definitive answer.

I also have/had sevear periphial neuropothy in my legs and feet.
Suffered horribly for years, but found high levels of CBD every day for a long time made a HUGE difference for me. I've actually gotten Some feeling back after time.
 
Gloman is right !- It's not the occasional dose that brings long term help -- Being on a workable dose taken 2-3 times a day for a few weeks and you'll notice relief !-- I believe THC and CBD work better together !-- Like the way they give phenagran with a narcotic to potentiate the action of the narcotic -- So a smaller dose of narcotic is made stronger by the action of phenagran -- I believe THC and CBD work like that !-- I need more CBD in my medicine -- U can control pain with oral THC alone but U will get very high ! -- Not moving so good and outta decarb myself !- Get some cooked tommorrow !
 
Hey, I have neuropathy from disc and nerve damage at s1 and up a bit. I found cutting back on sugars, like soda, salts, nicotine and eating healthier helped a lot. Decent exercise and weight loss. I'll admit I'm younger so that may have an affect, idk. I was surprised about refined sugars and tobacco. They mess you up!
 
Eating right and exercising are always good for U -- Somedays I get around OK some days not so good so I have trouble with a regular excercise program - Plan on living better at the bat cave -- I was too slow in the dog fight -today - Need to build some muscle mass and stamina -- As for sugar -- I use lots of turbinado sugar in my coffee -- Strong and sweet !-- I drink lots of pepsi - don't get enough fruits and veggies -- I use too much salt and if U try to take my nicotine away we gonna fight - I made the compromise from cigarettes to a vape pen with nicotine juice !-- I perfer it over Smoking cigs but I am a nicotine addict !-- What are my other sins ?-- Need to exercise - eat better --Build some muscle mass and stamina -- Find me a granny to chase around might be a good place to start ?--
 
I am 203 lbs, about 13 lbs heavier than when I was 18...about 25 lbs lighter than when I was 40...I’m not a shut in other than trying to avoid typhoid-19...I haven’t had a sugar soft drink in 30 years...I could probably exercise more but I get a good share, like today, just gardening but doing and somewhat hard doing...I’m interested in finding out what cbd will do but growing high cbd has escaped me for the most...in thinking back about myself, I have not always been easy on my feet...lotta barefoot’n goin on in my time...not always on the lawn either...I remember my dad wearing steel arch supports when he was a working man...I think courtesy of the US Army...I wonder if I have flat feet, maybe tressing parts of my feet...they have felt abused for a long time and it’s just starting to worry...sorry for the stoned ramblings...let’s burn one...
 
Flat feet will mess up a lot of stuff. I figured you was already in pretty good shape weight Wise and in the diet aspect. I used a topical I picked up in Michigan that was 1:1. I also started dabbing wax and diamonds. I think the wax and pure thc was what kicked some regeneration on with my nerves. I can feel finger tips on my feet again. I really feel like the combination of high thc, a good dose of CBD at the skin and my diet change helped it come around again. There's still days where it all goes numb. Say I carry 40# on my back for a half hour, I'm numb for a couple days all down my left sciatic nerve. Near the kidney is the worst. Arch of my foot second. I haven't changed the scales batteries in a while so I don't know how much of a fatty I am currently.
Typhoid-19. I vote for a name change to this
 
RE -- Cuz I used to do some work on the side for a podiatrist- making orthotics for feet-- I've made them for others without the doctor too !-- This is what I did !-- I mix up enough plaster of Paris to fill a shoe box about half full --- The foot is pressed into thr wet plaster about an inch or so maybe little more -- We not making cement shoes - foot gotta come back out -- get a good impression of the foot -- Let the plaster dry --Then paint a wax coating or other mold release agent /coating in the impression left by the foot !-- Mix up another batch of plaster -- pour it into the mold / shoebox impression of the bottom of the foot !-- When it dry carefully seperate the positive and negative impressions -- U now got a replica of the bottom of your foot to work with-- Since U were not putting a lot of weight on the foot while making the mold - the foot not flat !-- Now for the fun part -- cut a piece of PVC pipe about six inches long - length from just behind ball of foot and in front of heel bone !-- Put the pipe in a 300 degree oven for a few minutes to soften it - Using gloves and scissors rip the PVC - So U can flatten it out - Without getting burned flatten out the ripped pipe into a sheet I put it on the floor and put a board on top it and stand on it while it cools -- U should have a single ply flat sheet of PVC now -- I use scissors and cardboard to make a model with rounded edges and all that goes from behind the ball of the foot and and feathers out at the heel --
When U have your card board pattern cut so it fit on the positive mold of the foot the way U want - I used a piece of inner tube rubber nailed to a board and stretched across the mold to shape the orthotic to the foot mold evenly !-- Cut the PVC sheet to shape of cardboard pattern -- Put it back in the oven and heat the PVC up until soften again - Position it on the positive foot mold without burning da piss out yourself - And lock it into place with the piece of rubber inner tube -intil it cools -Sand then polish all edges down for slowly beveled edges -- I have been known to make replacement plastic parts same way from a sheet of flattened out PVC !

I just realized something we've all kind of just let slip by due to the current situation that I do believe we should be reminded of....
So if I may...
It's 4/20. We are all only allowed to leave home to buy food and weed (and work for the heroic suicide squad essentials ). For the whole month.
 
Nov I live in 420 !--
RE - it wouldn't be hard for a guitar maker to make a mold -- U the one gonna be wearing it --U can fit it better than a doctor - It has to be comfortable !--- He paid OK but the real reward was seeing someone walk pain free and see that smile when they realize it don't hurt to walk anymore !- They never have to know U made it and changed thier Lives !-It was about personal satisfaction to me !-
I did that !- is a powerful drug for me !
 
Good morning OF's am so very saddened to hear some of you OF's and your loved ones experiencing exposure to this virus and the huge list of knock on effects first hand.
Am not a man who prays but you will ALL be in my thoughts today.

Clean up day in my space I think. Time to get the bleach out..

Stay safe folks.
