Fatigue in Parkinson's Disease

Do you wake up tired no matter how much you sleep at night? Do you struggle to stay awake throughout the day? If you’re having a hard time doing things like exercising or spending time with loved ones because you’re just too exhausted, you’re not alone. Fatigue is common in PD and is considered a non-motor symptom. It’s also a symptom that’s hard to clinically define. Is it due to changes caused by the disease, a side-effect of medication, or both? Either way, fatigue has a significant impact on quality of life and is the topic of this conversation with Joseph Friedman, MD. Parkinson & Movement Disorder Alliance is a nonprofit organization providing people with Parkinson's and other movement disorders as well as their care partners opportunities to learn, live life more fully and connect with other. We believe you are MORE than a disease! 🎬 More Videos from PMD Alliance ➡ PMD YouTube Channel -    / pmdalliance   💻 PMD Alliance Websites ➡PMD Alliance - https://www.pmdalliance.org/ ➡ATMRD - https://www.atmrd.org/ 😀 PMD Alliance’s Social Channels ➡Facebook -   / pmd.alliance   ➡Instagram -   / pmdalliance   ➡Twitter -   / pmdalliance   PMD Alliance recorded content is made available for informational, educational, and community-building purposes only.
