Hi....I find that as with any illness/disease...it is so hard to communicate to others ,the degree of pain you are in and how it draws you down when it is incessant.I cope with all the tremors,the odd quirks,the incoherent babble etc etc and everything visual that pd brings with it...yet I am at a loss sometimes to say exactly how much pain I am in and what the pain is like.Like many of you here,I am in constant pain every day,the degree obviously differing...and am taking diclofenac every day to knock the edge off the pain.However...it is at nighttime when I am truly in agony and cannot seem to find a comfortable resting place for my right arm.If I lay on it it hurts...if I lay on the other side it feels like a lead weight crushing my body then the tremors start.I guess that`s why I am here at this time mostly.....[the middle of the night in the uk]
However....I recently discovered something which has helped ease this a little.I just have to tempt my husband into buyng it for me.
Enough said here...I may strike a new thread with this .
Meanwhile..thanks for any articles which help in this area...much appreciated.
