I wondered why you had not posted.
I am so glad you are recovering. I know your recovery has been hell but hang in there.
As far as the problem with urinating I have not experienced that problem yet. Parkinson's attacks everything so I would not be surprised it is the culprit.
I think this is a Dr Stacy question.

Thank You for all that you do for Parkinson's

The only area of medicine Dr Stach covers is Parkinson's.
If you do not like the diagnosis of sleep apena you may want to get a second opinion. If you are over weighy you most likely have sleep apenea. This would account for your fatigue. If you are considered obease try and loose weight. This will help with the sleep apnea and fatigue. I can not help with the dizziness and involuntary movement of your arms and legs.

I hate to tell you this but fatigue is common amoung Parkinson's patients. If you google Parkinson's and fatigue or dopamine and fatigue you will find quite a bit of information.
I have problems with sun light putting me to sleep so I use sunglasses. When I first started on meds the fatigue was really bad until my body adjusted.
I was working nights which was ideal for me but the neurologist and my husband were unhappy. So I switched to days. Wish I hadn't. I now sleep 8pm till 1:30am. I am tired and cranky all the time.
There is so much that science does not know about Parkinson's. Some of the Doctors go by book knowledge only innstead of listening to their patients. If they would listen they might learn something. Dr Stacy Listens.
My one piece of advice is if it works for you do it. For instance I use a treadmill. I started on the treadmill before it was ok to do so. In fact my neurologist wanted me to stop. What she failed to realize is I felt better and had more energy and ease of movement. Science has also discovered the bicycle works. I used a stationary bike since I have no sense of balance. keep a log of when you are fatigued the most and what you were doing. ie. for me it is light so hence the sunglasses.

. Parkinson's covers so many areas it boggles the mind. How do you treat the disease when it affects every area of the brain. Add in a couple of other diseses how do you know which is causing the problem. So many questions so little time to find the answers.
lovedogs I admire your spirit. You have been through so much and yet you keep a positive attitude. Never the negative of why me. You just look at adversity and say bring it on.
