Will this transdermal patch help? I am in so much pain. \"\n_____________________\nI'm so sorry to hear about your nerve damage from shingles! I had shingles a few years ago and I'll never forget the pain. \n\nI would recommend using a topical onto your skin, these two brands are on point for giving you relief where it hurts:https://getsweetreleaf.com/ and http://azcannaoil.com/ \n\nA CBD tincture would be helpful for you too, as well. It will help with internal pain relief without a psychoactive effect (esp since shingles are a nerve pain this would be key for you) \n\nAlso, in the end of my shingles I was being treated by acupuncture, if you haven't tired that I would advise you to try.  \n\nI hope you find pain relief soon! \n- Nurit\n\nnurit\n_____________________\nHi there!\n\nIf you are experiencing chronic pain/nerve damage due to shingles or neuralgia, you may be able to find some relief with transdermal patches! The advantage of using a transdermal patch for nerve pain is that the medicine is delivered through all seven layers of the skin and into the bloodstream to provide full body relief.\n\nTo use a transdermal patch, you will want to put it on a veiny area, and your body heat will naturally activate the patch. Once the patch has become activated, it slowly releases small amounts of cannabinoids directly into the bloodstream to be carried throughout the body. Because this medicine is not ingested, the patch will bypass the liver and stomach acids, providing relief within 30 minutes. Depending on your body composition, cannabis use and level of pain, patches can provide relief anywhere from 8-12 hours. For severe pain, it is safe to wear more than one patch at once.\n\nPlease check out this article below that provides more information on Transdermal patches for pain relief! Hopefully this helps your nerve damage and pain from shingles.\n\nI hope this information helps! :-) \n\nVeronicaB\n_____________________\nI am so sorry to hear you are in pain and suffering from shingles. It seems that so many people end up with this condition, and it is horrible. Nerve damage from shingles is unfortunately something that does happen but the good news is, there is some preliminary research that indicates that cannabis may be helpful with this condition. I am not a doctor, but I do do a lot of research on how marijuana may be helpful to a variety of conditions.\n\nShingles is a condition caused by a virus, the same virus that infected so many of us as children, chicken pox. After having chicken pox, the virus lays dormant in the system and may reactivate later in life usually in people in their late 40's or older. It may exhibit as a rash or even cause blisters and boils, affecting the torso often, but I even know someone that had it on their eyelids! It's awful!\n\nThe good news is, is that marijuana is a neuroprotectant and is an effective pain reliever and has been shown to relieve the painful symptoms associated with shingles. Cannabis interacts with the endocannabinoid receptors in our body, the CB1 and CB2 receptors. It has also been shown in recent research to be an anti inflammatory and help relieve conditions with nerve pain. As always, cannabis is highly individual and there is no one size fits all. It is up to the individual to find what works for them. For some it is high CBD and in others it may be high THC and in others an equal ratio. I always suggest to go low and slow to begin. \n\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9663-markdown","title":"Where do I purchase transdermal patches?","slug":"where-do-i-purchase-transdermal-patches","content":"\n_____________________\nWe carry Transdermal patches here, at HelloMD.com\n\nHere is a link for a 1:1 patch: https://www.hellomd.com/products/5b6e1bc496120c00012c699c/11-releaf-patch\n\nHere is a link for a 3:1 patch: https://www.hellomd.com/products/5b6e072996120c00012c691e/31-releaf-patch\n\nBartSmart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7552-markdown","title":"Problem staying asleep, found a patch in CO that worked great.

That said, a patch will slowly release the compounds that are in it over a longer period of time and so the effect lasts longer. It is the same as why a edible lasts longer than vaping or smoking cannabis, an edible lasts longer and can help keep you asleep. Some people use a vape or tincture to help you go to sleep and an edible or patch to help keep them asleep.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7513-markdown","title":"Chronic back pain.  ","slug":"chronic-back-pain","content":"\"Is the patch effective for this? I'm just starting out with several products and I like the idea of a patch. When can I use a whole patch?\"\n_____________________\nFor starters, not all patches are made the same so there will be some experimentation to find the right one. Patches can indeed with a very non-intrusive, discreet way to medicate. \n\nI would suggest a couple of things for starters:\n\n1. Search (on HelloMD.com) under the word 'patch' and you will come across many related questions and answers.\n\n2. I might also suggest considering a cannabis topical for the same reasons as the patch.

Would a salve, lotion, or patch help with his pain?\"\n_____________________\nA salve, lotion, or patch could help with his pain. Many find topicals effective for back pain as they interact the cannabinoid receptors in your skin that help to control pain and inflammation. When patients add THC, THC-A, and CBD preparations to the affected area, they find it reduces the swelling and pain response of the area, providing a good deal of relief. \n\nPersonally, I use topicals everyday for my back pain. I do not go through anything as serious as your husband, but my own disks are not so great and topicals really help me to mitigate my pain.\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7354-markdown","title":"how can i get Cannabis Transdermal Patch for fibromyalgia","slug":"how-can-i-get-cannabis-transdermal-patch-for-fibromyalgia","content":"\n_____________________\nIf you are looking specifically for a patch, Mary's Medicinal is a commonly available product.

Transdermal patches, as you suggested, can be helpful. These deliver a cannabis remedy systemically (ie. same as ingesting something but with less demand on the liver...and they tend to be 'slow-release' types). The best known patches are made by Mary's Medicinals and are widely available. I've seen them ranging for $10+ up depending on strength and your location.\n\n2. You may always want to try some cannabis topicals, which allow you to apply a cannabis-based solution directly on the are of pain/discomfort. Here is one article discussing options (https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/the-top-3-cannabis-topicals-for-back-pain) but there are several others. Personally, I use one called Flower Power. All of these are also widely available.\n\nGood luck!\n\nLarry\n_____________________\nThis is a wonderful question! It looks like Marys Medicinals sells transdermal patches.
