Merry2,
Thanks for being on my team. I will try and help you if I can but remember I am a caregiver so there is a lot of others on here which I am sure you are aware of. Hope you are having a good day today. I can relate to the falling asleep issue on a normal basis. But for me it is because I sleep so little for the most part. Where as my hub who has P.D. can fall asleep almost anytime. Watching tv. etc. so he might be able to shed some light on this but I am sure it is the same for him. Hope you had a good day today. Take care, BFN! ❤️🤗😊
