Good morning, all, yesterday I was feeling pretty normal doing stuff and functioning ok this morning I again feel like shit, I ache all over and have a rotten headache and I am so damn tired. Yes, I still have a cold.
I am coughing so much as well; in fact the coughing woke me during the night.
I knew cold temperatures cam make the symptoms of Parkinson’s worse and it can increase our risk of falling but I was coping ok with the cold.
However, I didn’t realise how much having a cold could make me feel worse. I have more muscle and joint pain and I am a bit more restless and oh so tired today.
I am getting more cramps in my calves and the toes on my left foot keep curly making it difficult to walk.
Now some of you may be thinking of getting some cold medication but I do know that some cold medications doing go well with PD so not sure about what I could take.
Well this all I can manage today.
Sounds like you feel terrible. Try to rest.
I did rest yesterday and as the day warmed up I started to feel better
Dearest Jo-Anne,
So sorry that you feel so exhausted. Hoping that the coughing goes down and with that your sleeping comfort up so you at least feel rested again.
That will no doubt help with all the other signals to make them go down and even better, vanish.
You are smart for not daring to mix over the counter cold medication with your PD meds!
Big hugs,
Mariette
