Violence during sleeping
I am the spouse of a PD patient and in the last couple of months the violence has increased and I am freighted. I was a child abuse victim and this is triggering me terribly. I feel guilty I can no longer sleep I. The same bedroom. How do I prevent him from hurting himself?
My heart goes out to you,
. I know others in our community have mentioned their loved one or themselves experiencing issues like this at night. Has your husband's physician been made aware of the situation? If not, this would be an excellent topic to bring up with them and ask their suggestions. Also, if you haven't already, speaking with someone about how this is all triggering could be helpful for you. Just a gentle reminder, it is not selfish to practice self-care. In the meantime, I included two articles that may be of interest - https://parkinsonsdisease.net/caregiver/nightmare-parkinsons-street. andhttps://parkinsonsdisease.net/living/rbd-sleepwalking. I hope others will chime in with they have found helpful. Please don't hesitate to reach out anytime. We care and are here for you both. Sending you so many comforting hugs. -Jessica, Team Member Dear sweet Jessica

PD and they gave me two places for support groups in my area💗Hello
