Adjustable beds or bed wedges

[Mjm012]

Has anyone tried an adjustable bed frame or foam bed wedge to help with PD insomnia?

Yes I was told to raise the head of the bed up and take magnesium.mainly because i was having poor sleeps due to getting up frequently to go to the bathroom. It made a huge differences. I bought magnesium zinc and b6 combined .low amount of b6 in it.

What brand of magnesium did u buy and was the magnesium, zinc and B6 all in one pill? Thanks for your post

Thought it would help me get out of bed. My short PD holiday seems that Constipation, Rigidity and freezing episodes that put too much stress on joints especially knees and now a return to how to get out of bed w/o back pain. Yes a wedge should help. The 5 inch rider that allows me to sit higher also conforms to a perfect fit inside a plastic garbage container from Lowe's and I put the walker around the front to ensure stability. Freezing doesn't allow me to run to the restroom even with a wheelchair. Keep us informed. Thanks
