Has anyone tried medical cannibis Oil for O.T.

There are many videos on the significant improvement that people have with Parkinsons.

Below is a response from Catherine -

I am also interested in the subject of cannibis oil in treatment of OT.
I was diagnosed with OT in 2018 . I am now on a cocktail of Neurontin and Xanax and despite this my disability has worsened considerably.
A few years ago I went on a holiday to Amsterdam with some of my adult family. The younger family members went to visit the coffee house while we went to have a coffee at the cafe.
The next morning my daughter gave me a chocolate brownie containing cannibis . Was a little nervous but consumed the brownie - it was delicious ! I had no ill effects whatsoever and later that morning went to visit the Van Gogh Museum ( I would previously been very reticent about visiting museums because of the standing ).
However on this occasion my daughter pointed out to me after about 30 mins that I had not once sat down . I was amazed as at that time my typical standing time at that stage would have been a few minutes at most .
I returned to Ireland and on a visit to neurologist I told him of this and he said that he would prescribe cannibis WHEN it became legal in this sweet little country . There was a lot of talk about legislation being passed to make it legal for cannibis to be used for medicinal purposes.
However years have passed and one obstacle after the other has been placed against this legislation.

There is now in Ireland a new campaign being led by a wonderful woman called Vera Twomey on behalf of her daughter Ava who suffers from daily seizures and has been on deaths door on more than one occasion. Vera knows that this medication will possibly save her daughter s life and with the support of a very compassionate politician Gino Kenny has gone to incredible lengths to get the message through to relevant politicians. She has been treated disgracefully .
I could go on but if anyone wants to know the real story just Google Vera Twomey and see how much this state has done to block her efforts.

I know I can go out and buy cannibis from backstreet and I am sure many people in pain have been forced to do this . But I want to get something that I know what it contains and I also want medicinal information regarding dosage etc for my particular situation.

All of you who live in enlightened States of U S and countries in Europe where medicinal cannibis is considered Medicine count your blessings

Hi Catherine. I hope you are well (discounting OT of course) I must say that I have been taking an interest in cannabis oil. As a starter I have been looking at hemp seed oil. Last week I received 10 mil from hempiture.ie Ireland, at a cost of €200. It has 23% CBD. So I started taking the drops last Friday. That is just 7 days and I'm still waiting to see if anything happens. You know your self that we will try anything and everything that might help. If and when cannabis oil becomes legal in Ireland I will go and see my local doctor to see what his view is on getting a prescription. I think if one us got the go ahead it might help the case for others. Keep hoping for the best.
Regards Adrian O'Connor

Hi Adrian good to hear from you and that you are also interested in the cannibis oil. I have been in touch with Gino Kenny a couple of times and he assures me that when it is made legal as a medicine that he will make sure that it is made available to everyone who could benefit from it
I also bought this hemp oil from Hempture.ie tried it for a while and made no difference. Maybe it will be different for you but the remains are now lying unused in a drawer . Someone I talked to who knows more than me (that would be easy) about cannibis that hemp oil is good for cooking ! Let's keep our fingers crossed on the other thing and hope that Simon H gets out of his cot sometime soon and listens to people

Miserable weather but what can we expect bank holiday weekend !
Regards
Catherine

Hello all,
I'd like to bring this thread back to life. I'm wondering if anyone is using CBD oil for OT tremors?

Here in Sweden it is illegal if it contains ANY trace of THC. But I've also read about a prescription drug with CBD and THC that is used to help MS-patients with muscle spasms. I'm going to reach our to my doctor about this - but would appreciate any updates on CBD (Cannabis oil) and OT from you all.

Thanks!

I asked my GP about the use of cannabis oil to relieve severe cramps and muscle spasms in my legs as well as chronic pain in my lower back from scoliosis. He is not confident that it will work. In the meantime, I have had a nerve block to my lumbar area in a bid to reduce the pain level. Unfortunately, the steroids seem to have affected my legs as they are both numb. The pain persists in the spine and groin area. I will follow up on the oil as I am desperate. Cannabis oil is legal in Queensland but I have a feeling that it will be very expensive. I'll keep you posted.

Grateful for your input,

You may have read or heard about the recent CBD and THC clinical trials originating in Israel with application to Dementia. Apparently the mode of ingestion (vaping, gummies, etc) and the amount of each ingredient is critical. I believe the trials involved 1% THC. Some seniors with early onset dementia overdo it once they experience some success. Clearly needs to be monitored on an individual basis.

With my OT, my family doctor approved my using CBD and unfortunately my first experience had entirely too much added THC, but now have a product from British Columbia that has less than .05 mg THC per gummy and 20 mg CBD per gummy. Negligible effect of THC, but the CBD appears to have improved my gait (less “lurchy”) and I manage without my cane around the house. Can stand upright unaided for slightly longer periods. My partner has also notice this effect.

I take one gummy in the morning and one at night. My trial with this approach is fairly new so I can’t report on longer term benefits yet. Have not experimented with doubling up the dose(s), will have a discussion with my GP on my next visit.

Incidentally, he also supported my trying oxygen therapy. No luck for me with that, but he’s interested in the subject and willing to follow the latest research. As with Parkinson's, he advises KEEP EXERCISING.
