Good morning

Waking in the morning, it’s almost as if my body has lain still in one position the entire night and frozen. The stiffness and rigidity with which my body is encapsulated is incredibly painful rendering it difficult for me to move let alone actually get out of bed. I presume this is how most Parkinson’s patients wake up in the morning. This is how I start my day, and no doubt millions of others just like me.This may sound strange, but I have it on good authority that silk sheets make it easier to roll over and move in bed. Several people with Parkinson’s have told me this, so I shall give it a try. It’s amazing how just a shortage of a chemical in the brain, is responsible for changing one’s life so drastically, the repercussions of which fan out to the rest of the family and friends who are stoic enough to stick around.
