CBD and legs shaking

Visited mum yesterday and noticed her leg was shaking quite badly. This is the first time I've seen this. Is this likely to get worse and should I get the doctor to give her something to help this, any advice appreciated x

My husband has CBD but has never had this symptom. My feeling is that you should mention it to your Dr as it may be unconnected with the CBD. Take care.

Hi my dad had CBD for 9 years and he did get a shake in his leg and arm at times not all the time. If I remember it was on and off half way through the illness.

Everyone is different I would just mention it to the GP.

My dad sadly passed away in his sleep end of November. I really feel for everyone on here still going through what we had to deal with on a daily basis with this dreadful illness xxxx

Hi my mum has CBD and her unaffected arm shakes as do her legs on and off. My mum has had symptoms for 7 years. It might be part of this parkinsonian disease but I'm no doctor sorry I can't be of more help.

What medication is your mum on if you don't mind me asking?

Margaret only got the unintended leg spasms when her levodopa was too high. She had PSP but it sounds like a possible meds issue.

Best wishes Tim

It will get worse left brain /right leg....we have tried botox injections , and recently Amantadine pills ...but nothing that works for parkinsons seems to alleviate PSP symptoms .We live with it ...Her leg (the one that pulsates) also is turned out ...making balance and stability a bigger problem....we have a brace that helps when she is outside but we dont use it inside .....Its best on hard surfaces ...had it made thru medical coverage Kaiser ...in the usa (colorado)...good luck

My dad has cbd, on 2 Amantadine I found they generally just help him nicer , and more pleasant . But when he went up to 3 a day it was like his arm and leg on right side had a mind of there own , we where worried he'd reached the next stage , kept getting told about alien arm syndrome , but dropped back to 2 tablets and all calmed down .
