Louisiana has became supposedly a medical marijuana state with 10 pharmacies and only 6 drs. But as of today I still don't know how to get a medical card or who the 6 Dr's are? I am in horrific pain n i NEED releif.

You should be able to locate the docs online and make an appointment.
Honestly, I take a dim view of med marijuana. Here in NJ the docs charge a huge amount for appointments and insurance is dicey about covering them and the medication.
I have awful peripheral nephropathy and tried the hemp oil and eh, made me sleepy and relaxed. I dont really see pot as the magical cure all its made out to be.Granted, theres so little to choose from and we all want to avoid the opiates, so far the least of the worst for me was Gabapentun.I take 600 mgs at night and when I wake up t in the morning I'm pretty good.Some days are better than others, but you take what you can get and even 5 or 6 hours of not being aware youre in pain is a huge blessing when youve lived with this thing.It can make you dizzy and a bit disconnected but still more aware of things than if youre on the pot.
Try beefing up your nerve fiber growth , theres no guarantees, everyone is different{ there are so many causes for our condition} but I find taking alpha lipoic acid, MetaNX {vitamin B6 and B12 food supplements} fish oil,Tumeric every day morning and night has, after three months, made a difference.I can last a lot longer walking and standing throughout the day and no longer collapse in pain and exhaustion by mid afternoon.
Of course it stands to reason too you make sure your weight is where it should be, obesity just complicates things and makes it harder for the body to metabolize medications.
Good luck!!!
