As most of you know Parkinson’s disease is no longer regarded as simply a brain-centered motor disorder—involving the classic motor symptoms of tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia, BUT is no regarded as a complex whole body malady incorporating a multitude of debilitating non-motor symptoms as well.

I have, to a mild degree, experienced all of the above although much of my sleep is disturbed by pain (hips shouldres and lower back).
