Sometimes I do not believe I have any REM sleep cycles. Currently taking Elivil 20 mg (non addictive or habitual) and somewhat helps a little. Open to hear of your suggestions. Many thanks.......

Parkinson’s disease is generally thought of as a disease that only involves movement. But in addition to so-called motor symptoms such as slowness of movement, tremor and stiffness, most people develop other health problems related to Parkinson's. These symptoms are diverse but are collectively known as non-motor symptoms.

It’s important to realize that non-motor symptoms are common and can be more troublesome and disabling than motor symptoms. That’s why you should watch for these symptoms and… read more

I have no dyskinesias yet and assumed they might cause weight loss. However, over the past year, i lost 50 lbs and was dangerously thin.. Had no appetite and lots of GI upset.

I have been having terrible back pain. I had therapy, but it did not help. I have to constantly wear Volteran Gel or wear Salonpas pads on my back and neck. This pain keeps me for being able to do many things. I have osteoarthritis also, mostly in my hands and neck. I thought perhaps it had moved into my back, but am thinking Parkinson has more to do with my pain. Is anyone else going through this?🥺
