Hi Coleen-- tiredness/exhauistion is common with PWPs. Although Bob has
only been diagnosed for 3 years, the PD was surelky coming on earlier. I
think what is usually meant by "off" is more than sleepiness, though. I
would say it refers to lack of mobility ---the meds just aren't working.
There's lots of ingo in the list archives on this, BTW.
As for freezing it can happen anywhere, but is often associated with a
tight spot, like a doorway, where one's feet are "stuck to the floor". You
will find much about this or any subject in the archives, where everything
is stored from the list. Here's the address:
