I was recently evaluated by an outsourced veteran rep for PD. I'm now waiting for the results--told it might take at least six weeks. In the mean time, the earliest neurology appointment available is at the end of June. My wife and close friends say they're noticing dementia. I keep repeating myself, so it's beginning to sink in for me--long-time friends are beginning to stay out of touch. I plan to see a neuro-psych, but that's going to be several months down the line. As far as medical marijuana goes, there are several clinics in Monterey, CA, not far from me. I've tried gummies, which did little if anything, and then tried tinctures--difficult to find the right dosage. I did take too much and had a bad reaction after finally falling asleep after having not had any sleep at all for more than 48 hrs. I'm bipolar and was still manicky when I awoke several hours later, and felt jittery and paranoid. It was only a quarter of a dropper of Indica which should have had a relaxing effect, but everyone reacts differently to med's and herbs. I'm having a difficult time at work trying to hide my PD from co-workers and my wife is unable to find work as a permanent employee, so she's had to take contractor jobs--a lot less pay, lousy benefits, and more hostile work environments. It's day-to-day/moment-to-moment for each of us until we put together enough money to move out of CA, a difficult undertaking as inflation eats up our savings. You're absolutely right about dealing with today...the future is a great source of anxious worry.
