Two lives , one daytime , an entirely different one at night. The darkness comes, your body is doing strange uncontrollable things and you start down Alices rabbit hole.........its nighttime..........you know when you fall asleep if you can call it sleep, that you will descend into the world of PD.......vivid dreams more real than not, bathed in sweat, pain from lack of movement, unable to roll over , alone even if you arent, the exhaustive 3 am search for a carb levo to chew on while the flood of semi sensical, mostly scarey, dreams flood every sleeping moment, forcing you to reintroduce you to yourself every morning to confirm that you are still who you are............that you aren't what your unpredictable whack a mole set of symptoms too long to recite tell you you are.........the battle of another day ends only to go into the rabbit hole at night.........2 lives, both plagued.........Heebie Jeebies.............alone.........dark...............PD your most despised of all friends........

Exactly!! You put into words, exactly what happens to me, most nights!! “Down the Rabbit Hole” is a good analogy!

I am so thankful for this forum. It really has helped to find other people who understand what this disease feels like. Maybe, only people who have the disease get the feeling of being alone in their own symptoms.

Life sucks when you can’t get a good nights sleep, and going to bed is just the start of a second shift.

(I remember the horror when I had a baby that woke up every hour for 10 months!).

Have you tried mannitol? I expect you’ve tried it all!!
