Have you ever felt suddenly too hot… or too cold… without a clear reason?
Temperature dysregulation is a very real part of Parkinson’s. It’s not “just you.” It’s the nervous system.
This week on Pearls for Parkinson’s: Tips for Everyday Living, we're talking about:
- Why Parkinson’s affects temperature control
- Layering strategies that work
- Hydration and medication timing considerations
- Simple ways to stay more comfortable at home and out in the community
Understanding what’s happening in your body reduces fear - and gives you back a sense of control.
