He would never admit he had a sleep disorder. He said he was sure someone else would be able to sleep with him. I know with all my heart that wouldn't be the truth .. We ended up in separate bedrooms. The last ten years of his life he would sleep in his bed, sleep on the floor, move all over the house grabbing throws to cover up with. He had dementia by then.
I believe you will not have any trouble with Parkinson's.
I don't have Parkinson's or any kind of memory problems except of old age short term memory at 82 and I think
the trick is to stay curious and calm...

I’m sorry for the loss of your husband, do you have family or friends nearby ?Did your husband have any social outlets in his later years ? My friend out of state has a husband with Parkinson’s, spends a lot of time watching TV and it’s hard to get him motivated to do much, or to exercise. I don’t know if that’s typical or not, he is in his 70’s.
Thank you for your input.
