Basically my husband really doesn’t have any problems with motor skills. He was diagnosed about 7 years ago. Yes, he had dreams that he would act out. Some pretty amazing ones at that. Unfortunately I got punched a couple of times. When I would wake him to stop, his dreams were so vivid to him. He would tell me in detail what was going on. Stiffness and muscle soreness is his biggest problem. No tremors, which I always associated with PD. His saving grace, is a rigorous workout 5 days a week, at a gym that only has PD people. It’s amazing how his consistent working out has slowed his progress. When he doesn’t go (illness, etc) he can feel the difference. Good luck.

what do you mean sweat changes? and heart rate variability

Other than the tremors, problems with my gait were the biggest attention getter. I used to be able to leave my wife in the dust when we were walking. Now, I can't keep up with her. My neurologist hasn't dxed me with PD or Essential Tremor (my sister has ET). However, he is not ruling out the possibility that I might have both conditions. My tremors mirror ET, but I have a number of PD symptoms.

You described my spouse. He had all of these. He started getting hurt at work. Minor stuff. He decided to retire. He had tremors and small handwriting. That was earlier in the 2000's. He started having more symptoms like falling, trouble sleeping , fatigue, orthostatic hypotension. He has alot of diagnosises now. He is frustrated more. I don't blame him. Believe me if I could take this disease for myself, I would. Since 2022 he has had so many things happen to him. I believe for most of the time he has been a trooper and after going to numerous physicians and hospitalizations he perseveres. I am so thankful that I have this site to share and I know that other's care and understand. Thank you to all of you.
