Hi Kathleen......I use CBD oil, works for pain at bedtime and helps with sleeping. I don't use it all that frequently, just on that rare occasion when pain is a real nuisance. I checked with my Neuro back then, she said it couldn't hurt, although I was going to give it a try regardless 😄

Some people with Parkinson’s use medical marijuana, which includes CBD and THC, as a complementary therapy to treat symptoms such as pain, mood problems, and sleep disorders. It's important to inform your doctor about all treatments you incorporate, including medical marijuana, to avoid potential interactions and correctly interpret any side effects. Medical marijuana has shown some effectiveness at improving sleep, mood, and pain in a few small clinical trials, but more research is needed to determine its effects on motor symptoms like tremor.
