Without going into details, who here experiences any relief if they lay down on the bed with their head tilted back? Not off the bed, just tilted back, but at a definite angle. And don't sleep, just lie there for a few minutes and then get up and see what you notice about your PD symptoms, if anything.
Please share any changes you notice, good or bad. I don't want to bias anyone so I won't report our experience until later. Thanks. |

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!!!!!

Exactly my theory. Let's see what other posts come in on this.

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.) John |
