Re: has anyone used Medical Marijuana to help with spasms and rigidity?
I just bought a bottle of CBD oil from a health store. The employees were not very knowledgeable about it, so I am trying to get info on dosage and what I should do about the medication I am on.....take it with the CBD or stop taking it. I am presently on a rather high dosage of Gabapentin which doe...

Re: OT poll - medication that HAS OFFERED SOME RELIEF
I was diagnosed several months ago, after nearly twenty years of tremors, three neurologists, brain scans, physical therapy, and injections which did nothing to change my condition. I finally found a neurologist that understood OT and prescribed Clonazapam. I tried it for a month with no results. He...

Re: How is everyone?
This forum makes me think of the song "It's a Small World, Isn't it?" I am in Jackson, Wisconsin, USA, and have had the tremors for nearly twenty years, and started seeking medical help for it about seven years ago, when the condition worsened. I have seen three neurologists, had physical ...

Re: New to the forum? post a quick introduction
I am one week now on the Clonazapam (low dose) and feel nothing different. Any advice on when I can expect to see any improvement?

Re: New to the forum? post a quick introduction
I had a very satisfying appointment with my new neurologist, who verified that my condition is, indeed OT. He prescribed Clonazepam, as so many of you have taken. Starting on a very low dose, going to gradually increase it. I had seen two other neurologists that 'didn't know what to do with me"...

Re: New to the forum? post a quick introduction
I joined your forum in August, shortly after my daughter found your website, and for the first time in twenty years, my 'condition' had a name. I immediately printed out what she found and took it to my physician. He did not want to prescribe anything without research on something he had never heard...

Re: New to the forum? post a quick introduction
I have had this condition for nearly twenty years, and it has slowly progressed to the point of utter frustration at not being able to do the things I used to. I have been extensively tested by nuerologists to no avail, they look at me and say " I'm sorry, I don't know what to do with you"...
