A simple test

I sleep, in a "trough" pillow at a 30 degree angle. I don't move all night , i can't salivate so i have ruined my teeth, and my arms and/or lower extremities get nunb, it's as if i don't have enough blood pressure to pump blood to the extremities. PD sucks!!!!!

I wasnt' too clear:

lie on your back
tilt your head back, as if looking up at the sky (if you lay with your head on a pillow, it is tilting your head the wrong way)

Thanks for sharing what you observe.

Here's what I did.

1. Measured my hand movement rate, 49. (Number of left/right repetitions 15 cm apart in one minute using my right, bad, hand.)

2. Lay on my back for 10 minutes with a thin pillow under my shoulders leaving my head tilted about 5 degrees "the wrong way".

3. Repeated hand movement test, 48.5.

(All done before taking my morning meds.)
