I don’t want to go on about this stuff but after Colin telling me he thins it helps and not really knowing what it’s doing to him, today I tried CBD OIL myself, WOW I felt so relaxed, this is my new bedtime treat after a long and crap day.
Love and hugs

Hi there Helen ! So glad that it seems to be helping Colin's situation ! That's pretty amazing that you took a chance in the interests of Science and well being and used yourself as an experimental subject !! 😊 Very happy to hear that you felt positive results also !!! I will definitely bring CBD oil up with my sister's neurologist at our upcoming appointment ! Thank you very much ! Hope that you and Colin had a peaceful and sunny Easter ! 🐣🕊
I climbed into a small cage and gave my self a dose.
I gave myself two shots in error. Ugh!
The taste was fairly neutral.
Within 20 minutes I got a sense of my muscles relaxing and suddenly realised just how stressed I had been and as my body relaxed I felt myself following suit.
No sense at all of being 'drugged' or sedated. No loss of co-ordination or of concentration.
Quite remarkable.
Now, all I have to do is to work out how to use this exercise wheel!
Hugs
Kevin

PS - I will offer it to Liz tomorrow - It feels safe to use.
Just scroll down a few posts... See my reply there.
There are links and everything.
If you want my reasoning - I posted a long post on the why's and wherefores a few weeks back.
The suppliers in the post below are best value - best stuff. There is a lot of stuff out there which looks good, but is rubbish. Holland and Barratt and Cannol are good examples.
Cannol. I ordered from a chemist in Lanzarote, a lot cheaper including postage. Not sure what strength at moment as im away for a little break and don't have it. You can look at this on Amazon, it's slightly more expensive.
Hi Kevin, interesting. What do you think if the 1 that Holland and Barrett sell. . €6.50 a bottle for Cannol. How much and where do you get yours from?
Just a comment on the Hempura uses drops under the tongue and Provacan has a spray that delivers the correct dose. 1 spray = one dose.
The Hempura works out the same price'ish as provocan as they are recommending a dose of double that of Provocan. So each delivers some 80 doses at the recommended 6.0 mg twice daily.
Hempura have a good article on "how much to take." However they are not looking at Parkinson's particularly which is where I found the 6.0 mg dose (in a number of articles).
She finds it difficult to communicate, as you know.
However she was able to say that she feels much better in herself physically and mentally. She was also able to say that it didn't alter her mind, or make her feel sedated.
My observations were that she looked much more relaxed (less stressed) and if anything she was more able to use her arms and legs than usual. The next day she was brighter than I have seen her for a very long time. However that might be a fluctuation. I will only know if it persists.
I used CBD oil in the early stages with Mum, her speech and balance was amazing. I got mine from CBD brothers on line at 30% strength. CBD is an extract of cannabis with all the health benefits the THC which causes the paranoia and highs is not present so totally safe to use.
Definatley worth a try. Expensive but worth it. Good luck all xx
Don’t mind at all. It worked really well and we paid £60 per bottle instead of they one you have just recommended which indeed is much cheaper and better by the sounds of it. Will definitely give this ago 😁
Hi Helen, will definitely be asking GP if I can get this for W. I might even take some myself, seeing it gave Kevin some relaxing moments. I could do with some right now. xx
Sadly it is not approved for prescription for PSP/CBD in the UK. Its very strictly controlled in terms of its use within the NHS.
You might get lucky.
Our Neurologist was very nice hen we asked. His explanation for his 'no' was that there is no research done on PSP and Cannabinol so he has no clinical basis which would allow him to prescribe it.
I mentioned about the CBd oil to Admiral Nurse and she advised I check with the neurologist before I start Mum on it incase any effects on meds she is on for epilepsy.
Our neurologist said he couldn't recommend it, but then he mused aloud to himself that in our situation he thought he might try it. He said formally that he couldn't recommend anything that hat no formal clinical evidence.
Mum wants to give it a try so I'm going to order it and leave message with Parkinson's nurse to ask Neurologist and let me know. Do you find the taste horrible at all? Hope Liz continues to get benefit from it.
I don't mind the taste - Liz does and washes it down with juice.
Again today Liz moved from stressed to relaxed and comfortable. She is more able to move her hands and arms and smiled a bit too. There is quite a bit of her old self coming through too.
That's fab. Mums taste has definitely changed also and she finds alot of things horrible now when eating or drinking. I'm going to take it myself also!
