Fatigue

[Joealt]

OMG! It was already noon before I got the energy to get out of bed this morning.

I slept almost 11 hours last night (with 2 naps yesterday)...found out my iron level is very low. I'm taking an iron supplement now.

DiCan, just FYI a side effect of iron supplementation is.......wait for it.......CONSTIPATION...

[PatV in reply to Kat00]

yes and take well separate from your PD meds, as may interfere with absorption.

My Neurologist said I MUST NAP every day. I don't but he told me that would help! I was told all the PD meds will cause constipation and i sure have had it badly. Isee a GI doc Nov. 3rd. I am not sure everything that is wrong with me is all Parkinson's. I am sure some of it is disassociated stress. ~~~Dennis

Depression and anxiety are the children of PD.

Wish I could see a GI specialist who didn't tell me I was FOC.

My husbands doctor gave us this recipe for a prune juice cocktail to use to help with constipation. 1/2 cup of applesauce, 6 ounces prune juice and 4 Tablespoon of bran. Mix and keep in the fridge. use 1 tablespoon daily (or more if needed) We have found this to work very well. and not taste bad. S

he said it was in a Parkinson's publication.
