Is It Best To Fight The Fatigue Or Give In To It If You Can?
Hi TerryWilson2,
I'm 55 years old and have been living with Parkinson's for ten years now. Last May I went to my niece's wedding in Raleigh North Carolina. I got 8 to 9 hours of sleep each night, had my hair & make up done, and put on a size 6 nav 10 y blue lace dress.
Everyone said that I looked fragile, a kind of fatigue that doesn't go away with just rest.
So my answer is, you have to do both, give in, and fight.
Give in if you're not getting a full night's rest. Once you meet that requirement, (and set up a nap too) then fight the fatigue with light to moderate exercise! I do yoga, walking, stationary biking,
The hand, arm and body movements made while conducting an orchestra is supposed to be very good for pd.
I asked my neurologist, how much exercise should I do, and he answered, as much as you can!!
On a good day I still look fatigued, but I don't feel so fatigued.
On a bad day, even lifting a gallon of water makes me fatigued. Exercise definitely helps.
Give yourself a break when ever you need it.
Set a goal to get one thing done before you nap.
Then nap
Good questi .............😴
