@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, CBD is an oil made from cannabis (Marijuana) but from a part of the plant which has less THC, the psychoactive chemical in pot. DBS is deep brain stimulation, or a type of "pacemaker" for the brain. Wires are surgically implanted into the brain to slow or stop the tremor, then woven down into the chest where they are attached to a box which can be adjusted. It can work very well, but not everyone (like me) can have it done.

I tried CBD, but it didn't help me. I already have had DBS surgery.

Also, with CBD there are some issues which can be worsened by CBD use, so make sure you deal with someone who has a great deal of overall knowledge as well as specific knowledge.
