      Hi JTL. You have today posted about trying CBD oil for Parkinsons. Do you any idea how much should be taken? OH has Parkinsons which is getting progressively worse. He now can no longer walk any distance and has hallucinations from the medicine.

      How were your results from your recent retinopathy test? (I’m just reading the retinopathy thread you posted on)

        I forgot about that and haven't heard. Must phone my doc but I presume they're not too exciting seeing as he hasn't phoned. Soon as I know I'll let you know.
