    I have joe7755, and found it to be somewhat successful as a treatment.  The problem is that the treatments don't "hold" for long enough, unless you're someone who can afford to get them far more often than me.  It is definitely worth trying, but perhaps don't expect miracles.

      It varies from appt to appt, but 5 days (usual) to 8 (happened once).  Do you have access to CBD oil or salve?

      I'm in Florida, don't know of cbd oil is available here, can check on google, but there are probably many kinds of cbd oil?

      My advice would be to check Google about your state's laws and regs.  And yes there are many varieties in various strengths and sizes.  Here in Arizona it is available through the medical pot law.

      Mine either,  I checked today,  the only relief I get from the neuropathy in feet is when I'm sleeping,  wake up and hell breaks loose.  Just my right foot bothers me and tingling in right leg, burning, twitches, you name it.

    Did the CBD ointment really work?  for how long?  i have been in Acupuncture now for 3 months, and it was really relieving in the beginning, (only lasted 2 days), but not really feeling any relief from it anymore, and is very expensive!  looking for other alternative?

    yes, the more i talk to people, they all say the same thing, it works great in the beginning and starts to get less as time goes on....   and the pricing is outrageous. if i could go every other or 3rd day literally i think i could really get something from it, truly'!!!!    But how dare you ask your insurance company to help out something non pharmaceutical.   It might work and they have to pay?  come on?  i am looking for the feedback on the CBD ointment, and Nervestra?  but again both of these are expensive?  i would appreciate any feedback back on these products?

      My wife has neuropathic foot pain and she uses a CBD/THC cream (flexall 420) which consistently relieves her excruciating pain within minutes.

    When I first got Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy I went to a very renowned acupuncturist in the DC area. He had studied in China for over 20 years. Anyway, his comment to was if I was 20 years younger he could fix it. Was it true?  Who knows...Basically he was saying if I was in my early 20's or younger he could fix it...
