I very well understand, so no need to worry. We all have our own problems and how can I expect you to worry about me. Love you dear.

I am okay. I have no tremors (visible tremors) in my body but have body aches which is internal tremors in my body. The main issue from parkinson is tha I don't have the stability and have the tendency of falling back if I stand without a support. I have, thus lost my independence 😩😩. I am okay otherwise. Keep in touch. God Bless All

Hi Deanna

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member. Thanks for the detailed answer.

I intend to take it in an oil form under my tongue. Can you advise me if I can take it in this way? Deanne, I am just worried about getting high because I have not taken any alcohol or haven't smoked a cigarette. In my life so I am just worried and here in Canada, though Marijuana is legal, but the doctors are not happy to prescribe. They say that more research is needed.

If you find out about your write up, please advise and I am going to search it also.

Thanks and keep in touch.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member I have tried the HEMP OIL but I haven't had the real thing yet. One thing about Medical Marijuana is that there are too many hoops to jump through and by the time that you jump through hem all things have changed. Anyway there's a lot of red tape and a lot of paperwork to go through to get to regularly have your dose of Medical Marijuana. It's a big hassle and if you live in a state where it's not legal
..forget about it. I just hope that one day we all could have it without the big hassle because I think it does work...the hemp helped a little. By the time that we convince our doctor to give us a prescription for medical marijuana even if it is legal it's still going to be a long time before we can comfortably go to a dispensary and get what we need at a price that we can afford. In the meanwhile, I have tried other things for dopamine replacement but even that is not one-size-fits-all and it's not guaranteed to work and is also not guaranteed to continue to work. And you have to keep paying attention attention attention attention… No comfort zone. Anyway you get the gist of what I'm saying about Medical Marijuana right ? Take care. My best wishes. Sterling

Hi @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member ~ so sorry to be so long getting back to you! I have not tried the oil under the tounge method yet, (actually, I think the dispensary said that it is the tincture you put the under the tongue, not the oil, but I could be wrong, that's for sure!), but the next time I go to the dispensary I think that is one of the ingestion methods I am going to try, and I will let you know the results of that experiment. But that won't be for a little while. I still have plenty of medical marijuana left in the other forms.
Just to let you know, I am still working and so I don't spend as much time on this site as I would like. It has been very useful, and I so appreciate the information, the connection, and the kindness, but I am writing responses to questions all day long, so I get totally overwhelmed & fatigued and need a break from typing when I can escape from work.
I do apologize, because I am afraid it makes me a spotty and unreliable team member. And I do appreciate the information very much. I share it with my local PD group and have encouraged all of them to check the site out for themselves.
Thanks for your patience with me!
