Diagnosed 5 years ago with YOPD and I’m on the slippery slope of PD – nothing so far has really made a huge improvement to my condition, and yet I’m not terribly bad off. I still do largely everything I intend to do, with some accommodations.
I’m fortunate enough to live in a state where recreational MJ has been legalized and I have medical marijuana card. Last year, I grew my legal amount of 4 plants in my backyard, all natural super-soil, only organic fertilizer and minimal fertilizing at that.
I was really tentative at trying MJ again as it typically made me MORE nervous, MORE shaky, and generally uncomfortable (I also have Essential Tremors which I would classify as getting worse with MJ use). However, I was open with my MDS and GP about it, and while no votes of confidence for it – they were generally supportive. I have a fair amount of depression & anxiety with my PD and all forms (high THC, high CBD) seem to benefit this. I am much less of a sad, anxious A-hole after a dosing. High CBD strains are best for my muscle stiffness which has become more problematic. It also relieves stress quite well. My tremors seem largely un-affected by any strain. If they are there before, they are there after dosing. Opposite also is true. However, the relieved muscle tightness from constant tremoring dissipate. And finally I say don’t buy into the hype that this “drug” is hugely destructive and a gateway to smack, coke, bath-salts. These associations may bear some merit on people pre-disposed to addiction, or living the rock-star life but I say one absolutely does not beget the other. -
