I recently participated in a bright light study at Mass General for PD sleep disturbances.  I felt it was very successful.   I am using a Happy light 10,000 Lumens for 30-45 minutes a day now since completing the study and find my sleep is better. I still get interrupted sleep due to needing to use the restroom but I fall asleep faster and have a deeper sleep.

I decided this more natural way…the light also helps to improve my mood.

Hi, I was diagnosed in April of 2019, I have been considering for 2 years of selling my house and moving to a condo. I lived alone, with basement and second floor stairs.  End of the day going up to bed was the worst.  I chalked up my lack of motivation, sore muscles, fatigue  to being over weight and growing old.  It is now July 2019 I have sold my house of 13 years and bought a condo.  I had two years to think about selling but, the PD diagnosis was the tipping point.

My old house is now be a family home soon to welcome a new baby.  The new buyers will love the house as much as I loved living there.

My physical therapist and I addressed this in LSVT Big.  I put both hands together extend my arms and swing the arms to the other side.  Much better than what I was doing, sitting up in bed to turn over to my left side.

I am prescribed Sinemet every 12 hours. I wake up at 4am so I take one tablet then and when I get home from work at 4pm before dinner.
