14 day update.
1. The pain control still works 12-16 hrs. And to think I'm using the hand a lot more since there's less pain and because of that when it hurts the pain is way above a level 10. But comes down to a level 1 in a hour or so.
2. My whole MS body muscle pain has went from a constant level 5-6 to a level 1 and stays there. Even though I've been over active this week with the yard work.
3. My lower back pain has improved from a constant level 6-8 that goes to level 10, now is a constant level 1.

I assume the improvement of my whole body muscle pain and my lower back pain is a secondary result of the thumb treatment. I have no other reason to think other wise as no new pain medication or MS medication is being taken.

I'm please beyond words.

I only can wonder if John who has the terrible migraines would be helped by this simple treatment.

Your making me want to try it... Do you have any plans for winter treatments?

Yes I'm picking the leaves and placing in zip lock bags and putting in the refrig. I made a tea by soaking the leaves in distilled water but I left it out too long and got mold. So I will redo and put in the refrig in a sealed jar. Also will put the leaves dry in a wide mouth gallon jar and put in the refrig. Have to see if out vacum unit still works.

6 week update
I'm getting the same relieve after 6 weeks. I have picked up a constant itch in the treated area but benidril paste calms the itch down. Then I leave the leaf off for a day. The pain never comes back as bad as it was when I started. Plus my MS muscle pain continues to be better and my lower back pain is much less.

8 week report.
I get the same pain control but I get a bad itch when I put the leave on my skin but at least I only need it every couple days.

Had a weird accident today rolling up my garden hose. Unknown to me there was a wasp nest in the roller and they started swarming. One stung me on my bad thumb.
Side effect is all the pain went away. Is this a new pain treatment? I think not but I do have a friend the swears by bee string treatment.
