That is a good idea. Monitoring your symptoms by day and time is often helpful for spotting a pattern. Morning stiffness is common in PD, but it is important to let your doctor know. It could be that a change in medication may help.

If you have not yet been referred for physical therapy, I recommend that you request a referral. There is a specific physical therapy program called Big and Loud. It trains the patient with PD in both movement and voice. Do you currently have any speech problems?

No speech problems. Will definitely check out physical programs specifically for PD
