hello cyber-sibs [esp jackie, bob, and stephan] i don't have any new ideas about insomnia just an old idea that might bear repeating: 1. sleep disturbances are common in parkinson's disease [PD] 2. approximately 50% of all parkies have clinical depression [CD] as well 3. the primary symptom of CD is sleep disturbance 4. although CD is eminently treatable, it goes untreated in 75% of cases i wonder if our statistics experts would want to tackle this can of worms ? i have posted several articles on cd and pd in the past few months including a detailed definition and description of cd along with a self administered test any requests for re-posts? your syber sis in the cd wars janet janet paterson - 50/9 - sinemet/selegiline/prozac - [log in to unmask]
