My mom has lost a ton of weight and thinking about asking her PCP about prescribing Marinol to increase her appetite. I'm thinking, since it is a derivative of Marijuanna (Legal RX) it may also help with her tremors? I'm going to call her Parkinson's Dr in the morning to ask, but I wondered if anyone has ever used Marinol??

Parkinson's Dr said yes to the Marinol. Night #1 she conplained of almost falling when she went to to bathroom and being dizzy. (She takes it at bed time) Night #2 she seemed to have no complaints. She seemed a little "stoned" however I would say that is to be expected.
We have already seen an increase in her appetite!! Hopefully this continues!!

It helps me and I use Charlottes web Brand. My doctor said very important that you buy from reputable supplier and get high potency. If not will not be pure, will have additives and you get no help. You can order online, but I get mine at healthy market place

I was curious about it as well, and wondering if it worked well. Specially for sleep since melatonin doesn't seem to help much...

Has anyone tried the Hemp cream for pain? I recently heard a lot of positives, but don’t know if believable. I already use oil that provides sleep, lessens anxiety etc. I really want to know about Hemp cream and how it helps pain. Anyone?
