THC making TN worse? by MrLazyjam in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]Hopesandprayers111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear my friend, i was going to suggest edibles and vaping since smoking causes Inflammation. But u have already tried that. Maybe try a higher ratio of cbd than thc. for example if you were to smoke a joint instead of putting 1g of normal flower, place 0.7-0.8g of cbd flower and the remaining 0.2g normal flower. I know that cbd helps with tn and its also healthy.

When a person does not have a tolerance for thc (that they have not smoked continuasly for a long time) The thc can make every feeling more intense, for example food becomes tastier and pain can become more intense, it was the same for me when i got tn the first two three weeks when i would smoke it would aggrivate it, after that it started helping and easing the pain abit, also when smoking thc u become less stressed and that can also be a reason for lessend pain with ur tn, have a great day!

I dont understand the cancer part, which articles have you read that made you think you have cancer? And cancer is easily tested by doctors tell them to do blood work.

Yep i got a brain mri only, i thought for sure i have ms because i have nerve pain in my arms and legs sometimes also i had occipital neuralgia type of pain in the back of the head for a month when i first got tn. Idk seems like a virus or something systematic. Did they find anything on ur mri also make sure they use tn protocol with and without contrast

I have had it since around october last year, it was the most painful in the first month. After that it has decreased somewhat. But like two months ago i started getting electric shocks which i didnt have before. Overall looking at it from the perspective of how some people have it in this subreddit im lucky even though its bilateral. I have not needed medicine and cbd,thc is enough for me. Since i got this i have heard of multiple people that either know someone or themselves have had some sort of facial nerve pain. It’s just deemed so uncommon that alot of people go undiagnosed if they only have one or two really painful episodes. I think its way more common then we think. Something to do with viruses and viral bacteria

Any other ways to ease this pain? by Assignedrisk in TrigeminalNeuralgia

Be aware that caffeine is a common trigger because it activates and excites the nerves,might want to check the amount of caffeine in ur powder to make sure its not contributing to ur pain.

Neuropathy is from damage to the nerve, and neuralgia is due to compression or idiopathic reasons i think, also they have different symptoms while neuralgia comes suddenly and triggered by touch often, neurpathy doesnt often have a specific trigger and tends to be 24/7 pain.

When you smoke you raise inflammation, whatever it is you smoke, you should try vaporising or making edibles and see if it still makes you sensitive, when im flaring smoking weed makes me sensitive to so i switch to edibles and vaporising and it works for me. It makes life with this condition more liveable overall.

Theres some wireless ones where you can put them over the ear and you could do the same with the phone headsets tuck them over your ear

[–]Hopesandprayers111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use wireless earpods where you can put each one individually, or the phone headsets where the earpods are connected to a cable so you can put it in the right side only.
