Hi @Debb, welcome to the forum.
Going to bed and finding both legs go numb for a while may feel worrying. Some people with Parkinson’s often report experiencing numbness, or weakness in their legs, especially at night.
It’s a good idea to mention this to your GP, Parkinson’s nurse or neurologist, especially as it’s been happening for a couple of months. They can look at possible causes and check whether any changes to medication, sleep position or further tests might help.
Hopefully others here will share their experiences too, as it can help to compare notes and feel less alone with it.

Hi Debb,
I do agree with the moderators, specifically with you getting an appointment with a GP initially.
Perhaps it is simply a case that when you go to bed, a nerve is being pressed against a bone or something similar and that could cause you to feel numbness in your legs.
