G'day
I don't know much more about this oil, except my GP has said that I havta ask my specialist.
I've been having a lot of chronic PD eppisode a lot lately and he thinks it must be my crohn's disease is causing my body NOT to absorb my PD medications.
I've got an appointment with my specialist for crohn's next week and hopefully he might help me somehow.
My appointment with my PD specialist is not for 2 months, but I'm going to ring his office on Monday when it is open after the holidays to get an earlier appointment.
Havagooday to all

I saw your post and just had to throw my two cents worth in.
I started looking into canibus (pot) at the suggestion of friends and found that there are different kinds of oil extracts available. Before I learned that I tried a small amount of raw oil and was not pleased with the results.
I discovered that CBD oil is the product being used for
various ailments. It is one of various extractions from canibus but does not get you “high” like the others which i appreciated because that made me feel even less in control of my own movements during my first encounter.
I approached my experiment cautiously and with a lot of skepticism but was looking for some relief from RLS. To my complete surprise I felt a change almost immediately after applying the oil. The restless leg symptoms just stopped within a minute after rubbing it on my legs. It even seems to have decreased the occurrences of RLS and I keep a small amount handy for those times when it returns. I don’t know how many or what other kinds of problems it will help with but I think it would be worth trying.
