I tried some edible marijuana and noticed that my tremors slowed to almost stopped. However I got a little paranoid and tired as well. Has anyone had any experience mixing Parkinsons with meds and marijuana?
Yes, I've tried edible forms of marijuana too. I've purchased the 2 different types - one to improve my focus during the day and the other type to help me sleep. If there was a way of just using the marijuana to control my PD symptoms, I'd drop all of my meds.
My Rush Movement Neurologist advised me not to do CBD Edibles by mouth. Goes to the brain and PD is a Brain based decease. He did suggest trying CBD creams and Massage which both help me relax. Also yoga class helps me calm my tremors. It’s all the opposite of stress which We all know causes tremors too! Anything we do to calm us will minimize our tremors. Exercise, relaxation, Movement meditation, yoga, The Rocksteady boxing class and hugging my dogs aid to a better day! 🥰
I tried marijuana and it did help but over time I developed some side effects of long term (6 mo) so I stopped.
I agree that it helps with focus when doing chores. Otherwise I would tend to feel tired and depressed. Just don’t overdo it.
I encourage CBD edibles because you can adjust your dosage. I used Marijuana before but it affected my balance and made me sleepy. I tried multiple strains. CBD helps relax my body dyskynesia
