My wife's neurologist just prescribed Methylpehnidate in a small dosage for her fatigue. I have read some literature on it, however, it does not seem to be conclusive. She just started it today and so far so good. Lets see what happens.
Hi @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member I understand . I did try some "what looked like a rolled up version off the evening Chronicle " (This is a newspaper in our region ) I tried it whilst in Holland where it is legal . I didn't like it because I wasn't in control.
I never knew I had Parkinson's at that time but It wasn't long after, plus I checked out research done and it has no real benefit for Parkinson's, so your totally correct.
Delighted you will keep us updated, God Bless you
I know it may be beneficial for M.S.
27mg/d Rx
I use. I like. I worry it may downgrade neurons, however...
One form of the Marihuana comes in an oil liquid. It is legal in Canada for medicinal purposes. However, it is costly- $90 CDN for a little bottle that would last one month. In my wife's case she was prescribed 2 of these bottles- (different kinds). After receiving a prescription from her neurologist (who was not too convinced of its effectiveness), she had to register at a place that charged her $125 for filling out a form and directing her to a distributor. Frankly, looking back, it was all one big racket without any benefits and costly at that. Anyone thinking about taking it, should think twice.
Great. I will keep you posted and see what happens. As mentioned, there has been quite a few articles on the drug and some very good interesting explanations as to what it does in the brain. I try to keep up-to-date on the what is going on in the world of Parkinsons. My wife even tried Marihuana, however this was not at all effective. Again, there have been some very limited unscientific studies for this one, but nothing has been proven as to its effectiveness. The media loves to hype this one up.
