So many questions.

4 Replies

I started on a low dose of Sinamet a week ago, noticed a welcome difference quickly. The last two days my shaking had gotten much worse when working on the computer at work mostly. If guess my question is, can starting meds aggravate the symptoms, making them worse?

Parkinson's symptoms get worse with stress and improve with calm so we are always a moving target for the meds. Computers require me to focus to type and always exacerbate my tremor. CBD oil (the one without psychoactive components so OK at work) helps me and may be worth a try, plus relaxation techniques.

Thank you so much. I thought about CBD oil, my dog takes it for a ruptured disc in his back. Do you get yours online?I live across the street from the "Cannabis store" but I would imagine maybe a health food store or something?

In the UK it is easy to get online e.g. Holland and Barrett; I have seen it on Amazon. It is more effective with THC but I am not keen on that! If you drive to work you would need to check out the online discussion e.g. on the Parkinsons UK site forum

I live across from where I work, in a hotel at night. So I'm sure i could get some with a little the and be fine. Hey, my son told me to light a joint! Haha
