Hi can anyone help please. My mum has PD and at the moment she can't settle in bed and keeps turning from side to side for the 1st hour or so. She keeps saying it's her legs so we think she might have restless leg syndrome. Can anybody help?
One option is for your mother to meet with a sleep disorders specialist. The specialist will probably recommend that she spend a night at a clinic so that your mother can be properly diagnosed. I… read more
The idea is that a familiar recorded voice is triggered when you beginning to move too much on the bed and that it will wake you or calm you enough so that you don't injure yourself.
Oh my God, that is quite serious. Wow!!!! That sucks and I wish you great luck to a solution
The later you take your meds can make this happen.
Could someone find it in their hearts, to execute the courtesy and reply to my question, which is,
what is meaning of ,'stages' in respect to Parkinson's Condition.? I have not come across this term in this context.

You sound like my husband. Ya'll could be good friends. One catch though. You have to watch Fox News and the Five on TV. LOL😁
I was thinking the intense back pain I've had is from PD, or certainly made much horse by the added PD diagnosis.
Why would you yell, Reva? My muscles in my back got much worse in an area already bad. My feet, particularly my toes would spasm so badly that they were dislocated.

See them all the time and pounce on them!
I always have a million things in the fire to do. But now I don’t have the energy to do anything. If I volunteer in the morning I sleep all afternoon. I teach paint parties now that I retired. I had a party last week for 27 people. I was literally in bed for four days afterwards. I keep looking around my home and there are things I need to do but don’t have the energy to get started.
Tired l the time. I have very limited energy.
My husband has found a sleep number bed gives him the support he needs while sleeping, but the firmness (fully inflated) when getting in and out. I like having the firmness that suits me independent… read more
I’m not responding well to the demands, (I dropped 4 laptops today but thankfully they didn’t break), pressures, and responsibilities, feeling ineffectual and overly emotional. How do I regain control?
Thank you to everyone who has responded. I am going to use a headset with a microphone to dictate, rather than type, reports. I will be getting an Apple Watch to help with reminders for tasks… read more
Changes in legibility of handwriting has been associated with PD according to an article made available by the Parkinson's Foundation. See the website for the entire article
Neuroscientists report that handwriting therapies can improve legibility, though people may not be able to write faster. These therapies may also improve overall neuron connectivity and function in the brain, leading to benefits in other motor functions. Many people with Parkinson’s are able to retain their writing skills… read more
