feeling fatuged

[sjmorris31]

does anyone have off days with parkinsons? in the mornings my uncle before his tablets manages to have a shower get dressed by himself walk unaided and feels strong. then he feels washed out and rough afterwards until he's able to regain his strength again once his sinemet has kicked in.

does anyone else experience this?

he also has a condition called myasthenia gravis which is very well controlled.

My best time of day is immediately after awakening. Others have reported the same. It has been suggested that the brain accumulates dopamine during sleep and everything is great until this dopamine is used up.

Likewise I’m great between 5 and 7 in the morning then I need Sinemet

Fatigue does seem to be a component of PD. My son struggles with it when his meds wear off. and speaking of meds, they don't seem to last as long anymore. I am learning a lot from the book Ending Parkinson's Disease by Ray Dorsey, Todd Sherer, PhD, Michael S. Okun, MD and Bastiaan Bloem, MD, PHD =

Hi! I‘m feeling great in the morning, even after 12 hours without any meds, but if I don’t take my Madopar right after awakening I get curled toes very often.... and then it lasts about one hour until I‘m relaxed...
