    Tim Brindley replied to the topic Do you struggle with sleep disturbances? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 4 months, 2 weeks ago

    I do have sleep deficiency I’ve tried a lot of things to sleep more than 2 hrs at a time to no avail.

    I’ve learned to accept it as it is what it is.

    Tim Brindley replied to the topic Do you struggle with sleep disturbances? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 4 months, 3 weeks ago

    I don’t ever sleep more than 3 hrs at a time. It’s more like napping.

    my body hurts so bad that I wake up every 2.5 – 3 hrs. I also have to pee a lot throughout the night so between the 2 I just don’t sleep well anymore.
    Before 2016 when the Parkinson’s reared it’s ugly head I slept like a baby all night long.

    I’ve tried different things like…[Read more]

    I’ve been using Hempworx CBD oil for over 4 yrs. It’s a good product I’ve received good results from this product. 1 personally use 1500 Hempworx CBD oil.

    If had the cat scan and mri both with contrast and it didn’t help the team of neurologist at the Mohammed Ali Neurology  Center in Phoenix Arizona make any decisions as to why it’s happening to me.

    I hate the MRI as I’m claustrophobic  the Cat scan is a piece of cake.

    Tim Brindley replied to the topic Who is your biggest cheerleader? in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 5 months ago

    My Wife Gwen is the best caregiver I could have.

    The cheerleaders are:
    My Daugther’s Kelli & Keri
    My Sister Jeri

    Without them I’d be in sh*t Shape…

    Each takes a turn at doing whatever is needed to help me have the best life possible.

    I’m truly THANKFUL to them…

    I have those symptoms and the group of doctors said they didn’t know what I have

    I’m  going to show them this post to educate them.

    Thank you.

    I have that style of walker and it’s the best.  Mine also has a clicker and a led light that shines on the floor which helps me walk

    I have the other type too that didn’t have brakes on without squeezing the handles.

    I fell at least 5-6 times.

    I can’t believe anyone would sell a Walker that allows movement when it’s stationary.

    Tim Brindley replied to the topic Will you continue to get COVID boosters and vaccines? in the forum Coronavirus (COVID-19) and Parkinson’s 5 months, 2 weeks ago

    Oh hell no !!!   I don’t like the follow the leader approach to getting the shots.

    I’ve never had any shots or boosters.

    I’ve had Covid and I believe like in the old days if you get and live thru it then your natural immune system will kick in.

    My immune system still works !!!

    I also have a problem with my speech, my wife calls it mush-mouth.

    I’ve lost all the sound output in my speech too as in my head it seem like I’m yelling and in reality I’m whispering. Nothing wrong with my lungs but I run out of air when I’m talking and that also screws up my speech.

    one of our rescued dogs is a beagle and she’ll be 19 yrs old in October. She’s only barked 3 times in the 8 years we’ve had her. She love the rain and snow.

    yes Arizona does get snow each winter as I live in Prescott and it’s 5484ft high where my house is.

    l know exactly what your saying about the drugs don’t work as I’m going to the Mohammad Ali center for treatment and they have told me they have never seen a case advance as rapid as mine has.

    Prognosis is I won’t be walking by the end of this year.

    A-Typical PD is what I have.

    Thankfully my wife has arranged the house to make it the easiest it can be for me.

    i constantly freeze up and fall just about everyday yet I’ve been lucky as I haven’t broken anything except a cup.

    I’ve gotten severely worse since the beginning of 2022

    I was a strong, energetic, active individual until PD struck.

    Tim Brindley replied to the topic Are you able to sleep through the night? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    NO !!!

     

    I rarely sleep over 2.5 hrs straight a night before the pain wakes me up.

    Usually I drink a cup of hot tea and I go back and lay down and get between 1.5 and 2 hrs before I wake back up.

    This is the normal sleep I get each night since 2016 when PD reared it’s ugly head.
