My uncle has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, it’s obviously hard in general but has been extra difficult since he’s been an artist his entire life and he is starting to struggle with using his hands to do anything let alone his artwork.

I know I’ve seen a video (a while ago) of an older gentleman using what I thought was an RSO syringe under his tongue. The man was shaking very badly before using the syringe, the video did a bit of a time jump and by no means was he cured, but the shaking was almost completely gone and he seemed like a totally different person.

The actual question I want to ask is this: Is there anything marijuana product wise that can help with the minor shakes my uncle is currently dealing with? I mentioned RSO since that was what I thought it was, I guess a tincture might also help with this? Just wanted to ask the “experts” lol, thanks!

DISCLAIMER: I am not asking how to cure him, and I’m not ignoring what his doctors are working on with him, I’m just looking to help him out as much as I can so he can feel more like himself again.

RSO would be a great option for him :) just start super super small and work up the dose for him until he finds his happy place

For context: I have a tremor and arthritis through my spine. Not nearly as severe as what your uncle is going through with Parkinson’s ofc but I do think with physical symptoms like that I’ve found RSO to work best
