I asked a Neurologist at Queen Square about prescribing this for ataxia symptoms. She said....at the moment it isn’t prescribed for ataxia, it is prescribed for specific types of Epilepsy in children, and for Cancer patients coping with severe nauseas’. If available, I would try it myself for pain relief.

We all know the internet is awash with CBD products, and it can be a case of trial and error finding a brand or type that helps. I was recommended a CBD Oil by someone coping with Arthritis pain, and it has given me relief with leg pain. Generally speaking, the more expensive the product and content of CBD, the more effective it will be, and the one I take is expensive.

There are several medications prescribed for tremors, so it can be worthwhile asking your Neurologist for advice first.

I’ve tried CBD, THC and every other cannabis combo available with full spectrum . All made tremor far more. I get incredibly stoned lol I’ve got to try something though as the anxiety is heinous! 😎
