I have read a lot about stiffness as a symptom. I do not have PD, but when I get up in the morning, I experience stiffness. I realize this is not the same as PD stiffness. What I have to do every morning is apply a moist heat pack to my back for 20 minutes (turning on the stove is the first thing I do in the morning). This helps me enormously.I'm wondering if anyone has tried moist heat for Parkinson's-type stiffness and whether it helps at all. Debbie White [log in to unmask]
