Diagnosed July 2015. Initial symptoms prior to diagnosis were tremors in left (writing) hand. First disturbing symptoms were involuntary shaking of my legs. Physical therapy, not specifically for PD; don’t know what the LSVT program is. The first med was carbidopa/levodopa; it does a good job of controlling the involuntary leg movements. The memory med (memantine) appears to be helping.
With the legalization of hemp, I wanted to try CBD, but I appear to be allergic to it.

Hi, @gwgrover - I wanted to join @hopeful33250 in welcoming you to Mayo Clinic Connect. Glad to hear you have confirmation of your diagnosis now, and that your medications are helping with the involuntary leg movements and memory.

Hoping that @pammettee @hoard @lsdempsey @pcolunio will return and share a bit about their road to a diagnosis and any challenges along that journey. They may also have a comment on trying CBD and your apparent allergy to it.

How are the tremors in your hand now?
