Used regular melatonin, 3, 6, 9 mg. Didn't work. I'm trying 10mg time released melatonin tonight. Wish me luck. 🤞

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member they only take things so far. Even taking all their advice I'm still left trying to go to sleep while both legs feel like they're being given low level pulses from a TENS machine, then the meds kick in for a couple of hours, then the tingling/prickling/writhing starts again.
No amount of whalesong changes that.

Because my pain in my hips is so extreme, I take aleve pm to help me rest and not hurt as much as I try to sleep. I may wake up odd hours of the morning, but it helps some
