Hi CindyS.
I call that the internal shivers. Just won't stop.
I had terrible RLS for a long time. Eventually I figured out that if I shave my legs daily then there's less friction with the top cover. Plus a nice warm bath with lavender before bed helps.
I recently added a weighted blanket to my bed. THAT made a big improvement in my quality of sleep.
Not to mention a special gummie.
Good luck.

Yes, movement issues, including involuntary movements, are common in Parkinson's disease and can affect sleep. Dyskinesia, which involves involuntary movements, can disrupt sleep. Some people experience jerky movements or feel like their whole body is being lifted off the bed. If these movements are affecting your sleep, it's important to discuss them with your doctor for appropriate management.

After time, the c/l pills are less effective so dosage has to be increased. After a certain amount, the body starts to experience dyskinesia. Cutting back on the amount of dopamine may stop the dyskinesia, but usually that means adding other drugs to prevent too much off time, or taking extended release pills to even out the dopamine. If that doesn't work, it may be time to think about DBS.
