I Was Diagnosed With Parkinson’s One Year.
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

The thing that make my life more complicated is I have been battling stage 4 esophageal cancer with Mets to the brain. Working with my team at NYU MEDICAL HOSPITAL we have had very good success.

My question Is that I have been using medical pot to help me manage pain nausea depression. Question does anyone have information about using pot for PD?

I'm experimenting with my movement disorder specialist, but to date, I haven't found any tangible evidence that the THC offers anything more than stress relief. But the CBD oil (tincture) offers me the best PAIN relief of any meds I have taken. Besides Parkinson-induced pains, I have very serious back injuries that nothing (including the bad "opiod" meds) helped. CBD definitely helps for pain.

I got a great report from my oncologist yesterday. No new activity! I don’t have to go back for 4 months. I feel blessed.
