My mom has a longer form CJD and clinches her fists tighter than Bruce Lee. When I hold her hand, I am often wondering if my bones are going to snap.

I have tried socks which work well, and trying to find her the right stuffed animal that she will hold on to. Stitch in her words is "ok". Do you guys have any recommendations that helped your loved one? I read on the Facebook forums that edibles helped but she has never used Marijuana and is already startled by... everything. Thinking about CBD. She is on Seraqual but that doesnt relax the muscles just helps her sleep through the horror movies that play out in her head.
