       Hello, after much trial and error, I seem to have cracked the problem of sleep and paralysis, my Nurse Consultant, called yesterday on another matter but brought with her a box of seratonin pills, seratonin calms the brain and have to tell you it seems to work,I was only up once to the loo I  increased my slow release to  two 1.25mg on going to bed and two more at 400am, this maintains  mobility and the Stonin calms me down result almost dream free FED, good eh. I know everyone is different but Seratonin is totally benign with no side effects, so there is no harm in trying it if you are having night terrors.

                                                  Regards FED

that does make more sense. the sunstatia nigra by the way gets its characteristic black colouring from melatonin. when you have pd it loses its black colouring. i'm sure this is all very important but ******* if i know why.  it may be neuroprotective too!

 

cheers

  Sorry for misleading info, and as if to pour scorn on my breakthrough last night was hell on earth, dreams only last 5 or 10,, mins  but how about the same dream for 5hrs absolute horror, and I couldnt wake myself up its early days yet so I will press on with the drug until I have completed the course then I will have a better idea as to its usefullness, though knowing my luck .On a happier note the two adjustable chairs arrived and without doubt are the best buy  ever, so comfy, also we bought 1 and got the other for less than  half  price, highly recommended.

                                                   Kind est  Regards        FEDcool
