I want to suggest activities but he doesn't feel like it, so now I feel like not asking so he won't feel bad in saying no.
My husband is 78 and has sleep apnea and won’t wear a mask so he gets disturbed sleep and sleeps often in the day. Melatonin helped a little. A pill called Clonazapam caused headaches which made his… read more
I get tired of hearing people say that you don't die from Parkinson's. Instead you die from losing your balance and falling. You die from choking because you no longer can swallow. You die from sepsis or multiple system failure.

Anyone else relate?

I am just wondering if any one else has this problem. I get a fairly good nights sleep, but am just as tired when I wake up and during the day it get worse. TIA
I also have trouble sleeping but am now on a new med. Amitriptyline for aching les & for sleep.

Morning MPT (my profiterole team) no it's not Parkinson's it's profiterols today, we're doing some baking but first I heard this on the radio this morning and it got me thinking (doesn't take much)

Parkinson's Disease
My pain is mostly right side stabbing pain. Drs seem so quick to dismiss my pain it is sometimes more difficult than PD to deal with.
