The only thing that I have that sometimes works are two different muscle relaxers and Valium.

My PN comes from an autoimmune neuromuscular disease I have called Dermatomyositis. I was concerned at first that it was so severe I might lose a toe or two.

I won't take pain pills anymore so I'm holding out for medical cannabis when we vote on it this November.

Good luck.
