The Villages, FL

My eyes are very heavy and closes involuntarily, as soon as I get up from bed and even when exercising on my stationary bike. I wonder how many people with PD have this experience and what did you do about this symptom of PD.

Hi Janine , I have the same problem . My brother ,who also has PD has it too. I followed what he did. He went to an eye doctor who treats PD patients and was told he needed to get Botox shots around his eyes. They give the shots to me about every 2. 1/2 months .im told it varies with each person. Their not painful .
Good Luck ,

Thank you for your answers. I feel much better that this seems common in PD'ers. I have not driven our car, in about 8 months now because of this symptom. @ Lynn I also do not sleep very well at night. re: painting or photo, I do not know if it is an oil painting. I got it from the suggested photos I am not sure if from this website or from another website.
