Anyone Tried Botox To Alleviate Rigidity?

Cramp and tension in back of thighs is currently my worst symptom. Any experience (good or bad) of Botox, as a treatment would be appreciated. Thanks!

Vinegar gives instant relief. Put it on the place that cramps or drink some. Pickle juice has lots of vinegar, so does mustard. I know a long distance truck driver that keeps those little packets of mustard within reach of his bed so he can eat one quick if he gets a cramp.
Like most herbal or natural remedies, once you have
it, you just need to remember the effect & your body will respond. When I feel a cramp coming I think about vinegar & it is gone!
I am surprised there is not an herbal or natural remedy for PD. When Jesus healed people with palsy He said "take up your bed & walk" That tells us -

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member that's the kind of result I'd like to get...the cramp certainly sounds the same...any adverse side effects?

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member I've done the Epsom salts thing and internal Magnesium supplements (never sure if people know that Epsom Salt is Magnesium Sulphate) with little effect. My Mg levels in blood tests come back fine.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member I've tried Apple cider vinegar...but drinking it, not rubbing it on! I'll end up smelling like a fish and chip shop!

All answers appreciated tho'!
