Naomi--welcome to the list. You would find a lot of info in the archives about sleep problems and constipation. Also, re: the latter, there will shortly be posted to the list a "protocol for preventing constopation in PD" which we got through our doc, and twhich a listmember is going to scan and post. Your mother might get some ideas from it, though of course here as in everything about PD, it's "different strokes for different folks". From the address, I gather you are NOT the Naomi who is a member of the CARE list for caregivers. If you are interested, you can send a request to join to : <[log in to unmask]> . Stay connected!
