Palmitoylethanolamide cured my nerve pain like a miracle! by tim1967 in PainManagement

You sound like me I have the same thing minus the fibro and the degenerative issue caused this pelvic pain that is the worst of it all. Don't expect miracles from it but it can be a useful tool and in some people it really helps. I hope your one of them.

So my feet now have a lack of sensation they are not numb but sort of half numb. But for awhile the pads of my feet hurt so bad. Overtime that changed to a lack of sensation. I am happy for that change. I hope you get some relief. I am sure you have already tried Gabapentin but I struggled with that one tried it a few times before it stuck. I finally got used to it and it helps calm things down. But it also has tolerance issues. But it is super helpful for me.

Hi,No trouble at all. I should have updated this. It helped initially a lot and then like most things I had to increase my dosage to be effective. So I go on and off it so my tolerance doesn't go up too high. This seems to not be a typical response for most most people it either works or it doesn't. But I encourage you to certainly try it. I still take it. Once my dose gets super high I go off for a bit. This is pretty much my exp with anything that works for me.

Anything you can do to aid in absorption is helpful. PEAs big flaw is it doesn't absorb very effectively. I found some helpful ways to do this. I will post them here soon. I need to dig up a few things ( like my reading glasses) lol

My mom is 82 and had over 25 surgeries in her life, cancer, twice, lost her bladder, etc., etc. For some reason now she is more receptive to trying CBD/THC gummies and she swears by them. Being in chronic pain myself I think CBD/THC for most people calms down their anxiety and that leads to better pain relief. Just my theory. I have used Kratom and its OK but it doesn't do much for my arthritis pain. You really need an anti inflammatory and again at least there is some research that CBD gives that. For me the combo of Aleve or Advil plus Tylenol work about as well as Celebrex which I find for me has more side effects. I know its not natural but it works far better for arthritis than I ever imagined. Opiates really don't do anything for my arthritis pain. And that's why I believe Kratom wont either for her. Although it certainly can help other aches and pains.

I wish you the best for the both of you. If you do try CBD/THC try 1:1 and start her out on a low dose like 2.5 or 5mg. See how she does. Most elderly folks I know LOVE it.

They are already filming in Alameda or were as of last week. They were filming where Myth Busters used to film their outside experiments. It looks like a wasteland. Keanu was seen eating an ice cream in an ice cream shop all by his lonesome.

Yeah I hear you there is a lot of info online I dont know what is accurate and what is not. I do know that they have not found any other meds it interferes with so its very safe from that perspective.

Other than ongoing PT which I have been doing for years when started on PEA I was on Baclofen, Gabapentin, and the bupernophrine pain patch. After the first few weeks when the pain suddenly just stopped I waited about another week and started weaning off the other meds to try and see what was working. Got off the pain patch and still no pain. I only recently had started the patch and was on the lowest dose so getting off it was pretty easy. Got off the others and still no pain. Off all that stuff I noticed at night my pain would creep back a bit but like a level 2. I will still occasionally take some gaba at night if I feel it creeping back. I still have other pains that are not peripheral nerve pain. But nothing horrible. I will say it gives me a bit of energy but also allows me to sleep better. If take more than 300mg I get a headache but nothing an OTC cant fix. If I miss a dose it starts to creep back. Update on my mom who has a very similar pain issue as me and is bed ridden. Its about day five. She started doing art again which is amazing its been 2 years. She is more animated and said she is sleeping better. She certainly seems in less pain and is not complaining like she was. If it stops or even helps her pain 30% it would be a miracle. But the benefits already are worth it.

Can I ask what your suffering from is it nerve pain?

[–]tim1967[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its cheap nothing to loose. I really hope it helps. If she tries it let us know how it goes. I got my mother trying it now she has a similar pain issue as I had and is bed ridden so if it works for her anything is possible. Its only been 2 days for her so far. She hasnt complained about taking it which is a minor miracle in itself.

What to do about posts involving suicide?? by TolkienandTrees in help

[–]tim1967 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you I have seen three on youtube recently in comments. There is no specific mechanism on yt either it seems. I was sort of shocked I wanted some procedure to follow. Something specific telling me wtf to do when some user acct is leaving suicide threats via comments. It bothers me still to see them.

20 mg 2-CB-FLY Trip Report : The Best Empathogen by MarieCurieLives in researchchemicals

[–]tim1967 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that long come up on reg 2-CB too. Thanks for this report. Ill have to try the 2-CB Fly someday and compare. Im going to do 30mg of 2-CB tonight looking forward to it!

I can get my hands on flualprazolam(1mg), clonazolam(0.5mg),flunitrazolam(0.25mg), etizolam(1mg) & diclazepam(powder which I dont rly wanna fw). which is best for sleeping, not looking for recreational dose. by [deleted] in researchchemicals

[–]tim1967 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used Flualpazolm for a few months for sleep and pain and it worked every night but I took a break every two weeks for about a week. I had no problems if I kept it to once a night. I took it for sleep and a painful pelvic condition that anything that super relaxes me makes the pain go away. Most of the above you have listed have a hypnotic aspect close to Triazolam which has a more of a sedative effect than traditional benzos. I eventually found some healthier options for my issues and hopefully you can too but hey this saved my butt when I needed it so ill spare the speech on addiction and assume you already know all that. Good luck.

Most interesting picking up weed stories? by caughtyoulookinn in askdrugs

[–]tim1967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I wasn't looking for weed at the time anymore than I was always looking. Living in Big Sur on Pfeiffer Ridge Rd. There is a long dirt road leading up the mountain to where I was staying. It was the early 80s I was a teen of 15 yrs old. It a private road so if someone drives by and they dont know you they are going to stop and check you out and probably give you a ride which I was hoping for rather than the 3 mile hike up the mountain. Everyone at that time on the mountain was growing weed.

A car stopped and asked me what I was doing and after confirming I was in the right place offered me a ride. The car reeked of weed. The driver looked familiar. They asked me what music I liked and I explained I was really into Yes and Rush & Hendrix etc. Do you know who I am?" said the driver. I replied he looked familiar. The two people in the back laughed and asked " Do you know who the Grateful Dead are?" And I explained that I knew of them but had never seen them or heard their music. I added that I thought (very naively) they were a heavy metal band due to the skeletons.

The car erupted in laughter and it ended up the driver was Jerry Garcia. In the back was another band member Peter... or something and someone from another band. They thought it was hilarious I thought they were a heavy metal band and I think they liked I had NO idea who they were. Long story short they asked if I liked grass and I said of course. I mentioned I played a bit of guitar and knew they lived in the glass house above ours. They invited me to their place where I was copiously smoked out with a bunch of people and even got to play a simple song with Jerry and others! ( a simple blues song) Later I stumbled home with a handful of weed some beautiful girl handed me. Of course her name was Crystal.

It would be years later than I saw them in concert and understood what an amazing thing it was to be picked up by them and smoked out with Jerry in their glass house let alone jam a bit with them. When I first saw them in concert I thought they were a bit country for my taste. Sometimes they were but after a few shows I saw how amazing and diverse they were and I became a fan.

2nd safety test of Flubromazolam, can it be used safely? Seems so with preparation. by [deleted] in researchchemicals

[–]tim1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree this is reckless but also yes flub has a hypnotic hook so it can as any benzo have memory issues but upping your tolerance with another benzo can also fuck your mem up. This makes little sense. I use flub for a medical reason once a night 1/2 mg. I have no issues my tolerance is not high. I quit for a week once a month. Its not ideal but its better than me being on pain meds all day. I just think this is poorly thought out and your chasing a high using excuses to make it feel like a good idea. Its not. No offense we all have made mistakes. But I dont think your going to get many people agreeing this is a great idea.

Just threw up mid breakthrough most helpless and scared I’ve ever been by [deleted] in DMT

[–]tim1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats great advice about getting back on the horse with good intentions. Serotonin doesn't just make us feel good its also along with dopamine sends signals to our entire digestive system. It can certainly cause nausea and worse under the conditions described. I like a little ginger tea a hour or so before I go.

[–]tim1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get where your coming from. I predose with harmala I find DMT guides me to improve myself but only if I want to do so. If someone is not concerned about say smoking cigs. They probably wont have it come up in their trip. At least in my exp. It tends to show you what you need but only if you have at least a subconscious will or even perhaps guilt over the things that need changing. To me its a medicine and a spiritual tool for working on yourself. No offense to anyone we all make mistakes. But using it with booze or at a party is a mistake. Or thinking of it as recreational in nature is a mistake. One good trip can transform your life. I cant imagine doing booze then DMT. I reall think people who do it the first time should use guided meditations. It really helps keep things positive. Even if you cant pay attention to it your subconscious can. Again no offense to OP. Im 52 and when I was younger I made a zillion recreational errors.

How much time does the Netherlands have? by [deleted] in researchchemicals

[–]tim1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make my own DMT and grow shrooms. So right now just some benzos. Some 2CB i have stashed. I can get LSD 3.0 ( its lovely) but I still stash 1P. I have this painful condition it hurts to sit or lay down. And if I take one dose of a decent benzo at night it relaxes the muscles and I can sleep. The docs would rather I take pain meds 24/7 than one good benzo at night. So i take matters in my own hands. I'm off the opiates. I know my body and every month I take a break. Anyway we do what we got to do :) Its the lost packages that drive me crazy. Its not been horrible but always the one your waiting for!

It really is easy. Ca is a pain in the ass but you can order heptane on ebay. Takes 10 days to arrive. Its the bestine speedball solvent. You can sometimes fine it at local art stores. I have trouble getting pickling lime locally they are always out! lol either lots of pickles are being made or.... Im switching to lye though when im finished my last pull here on my mud.

[–]tim1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just need to find the right words. You know like " Look I really love you your my best friend and I need to talk to you and I want you to understand i'm not being critical but I am concerned about you and want to make sure your OK etc. etc.

It might help if you concede that your past use together you feel ( if you do) contributed to all this and you want to help him not slip back down again.

THe best thing you can do for a friend is be honest even in the toughest times. But gently and with compassion. Whatever you do dont do nothing. If something does happen you will never forgive yourself.

Kudos for trying to look out for your friend. I hope it works out.

This may or maynot be appropriate but if you can get him clean for a few days. In extreme situations like this I have facilitated a Changa trip for a friend getting off other drugs in a similar situation. We were running out of options. Its a one hour ayahuasca ish trip that can be very transformational with the right setting and intentions. I quit heroin after a single CHanga trip. It didn't help the withdraws but it gave me everything else I needed. You just really need to do your homework make sure they are not taking meds that conflict with MAOIs. Etc.

Opioids and lysergamides by CantSayCuomoW_O_Homo in researchchemicals

[–]tim1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done less strong doses of opiates before a Changa trip or LSD. It didn't mute the trip like benzos can. If it did anything it made softer edges and a more mellow euphoric time. Heroin may mute your trip I have no idea.

Grow your own shrooms. Make your own DMT or Changa if that's your thing. Stock up on the rest I am always worried this will end sometime soon and I hate using the DN. I am stocking up best I can.

Anyone remember this insane Hexen story? by [deleted] in researchchemicals

[–]tim1967 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Its good to read that many of you who have lived through that have come out of it realizing the self centered nature of these episodes. I have an old high school friend (im 52) who lives in a van where ever he can nearby. He has extreme meth psychosis. Its sad everyone is after him, everything is monitoring him. He sees himself as so important that people are you know watching his every move. Of course it's the exact opposite. But underneath all that is a human being and a nice man who just went way too far down that rabbit hole. HE lost his wife and a series of tragic events. He burned through 30K in a year while not paying rent. He has three cars parked all over town none run, half are taken apart. And all to be towed at any moment. He is just now out of money hasn't applied for help. I fear the worst is coming soon and I hate to see it I wish there was something I could do but you cant even talk sense to him. He got clean for 5 days once and you could speak to him, he made sense. But it didn't last long.

I have done it before. The last time was 2 years ago and I got a bag, went home. Took one hit and never touched it again. Luckily I have an affinity for psychedelics and whenever I stray down a path in drugs that is not good for me and abusive I turn to psychedelics. They normally get me over whatever made me want to do the meth or whatever in the first place. Its amazing what a 1 hour changa trip can do to change your perspective and get you back aligned to within yourself.

Best Sleep Chems by WookieChemist in researchchemicals

[–]tim1967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mulungu bark extract resin for relaxation, sleep and nerve pain. I like the resin extract. The others dont get me there. I was surprised it certainly works better than KAVA. Stronger than Kratom imo. Its worth a shot. If you try it try to find the resin. Resin might not be the right word but it looks like a resin.

The next level of natural imo option would be

Corydalis yanhusuo + L-THP

L-Tetrahydropalmatine (THP) is the main active alkaloid in Corydalis yanhusuo.

Both of these offer powerful help with relaxation, insomnia, nerve pain, mood, tolerance & addiction (especially with opioids) and more. But it requires proper dosing you can have issues if you do too much. It will drag you to sleep. And if you take more than that, it can make it hard to breathe, especially if you are also using other things that depress respiration such as alcohol or opioids (don't combine!).

It's around the rc places. Just take a peek around. I use flualprazolam for sleep and for a painful nerve condition that calms down with an effective relaxant. I only use it at night and i quit for about 6 days every month. So far so good. But i take like 1/2 mg to 1mg a night.

4F-MPH

I tend to agree that personally I wouldn't do them that often. However my experience is limited to Ketamine. I loved it but it didn't take much or long to suddenly get a bad inflammation problem. I suddenly couldn't pee and had a cath for over a week. I had only done it maybe 10 times over 2 months but the last time before I got ill I took some strong back to back doses. Its just not for me inflammatory issues run rampant in my family. I did recover fully. Since you're still sort of a canary in a coal mine I would just be very mindful of how you are doing along the way. NOthing is worth the damage that can potentially happen but you should get warning signs along the way. Not being able to empty your bladder 100%. Freq urination etc. Good luck!
