Fran Landes 46/45/43 hi fran if you are not sleeping, you are right to be concerned sleep deprivation is not something to mess with it seems like early days to me for you to be so uncomfortable you should be in your sinemet 'honeymoon' years now unless you have not yet started on sinemet...? if you are a stiffness type of parkie as opposed to a tremour type you are like me and i cannot go to sleep at all if i am 'off' [undermedicated] i always have to wait for my muscles to relax in the sinemet 'melt-in' before i can be comfortable enough to fall asleep and, far from your 'dread' of going to sleep, it feels so good to be 'melted' and relaxed that i luxuriate in it... but i am 10 years further down the pd road than you... tell us what your med regimen is like...? in re silk bedding and nightclothes, my one experience was in a slippery robe and in a slightly dyskinetic [overmedicated] state where i hopped into bed and promptly slipped off the other side onto the floor! you have been warned! i hope this helps janet janet paterson, an akinetic rigid subtype parkie 53 now /44 dx cd / 43 onset cd /41 dx pd / 37 onset pd TEL: 613 256 8340 URL: http://www.geocities.com/janet313/ EMAIL: [log in to unmask] SMAIL: POBox 171 Almonte Ontario K0A 1A0 Canada
