Msnightingale, thanks for your post. My husband has had symptoms for about 5 yrs now, we just purchased a walker for him this week as his balance is scarry! He took a big fall earlier in the week and thankfully did not hurt himself so it was time to move on to the walker (he used a cane for 14 months). This progression seems a bit quick to me. Anyway, he still does not sleep but we just ordered a natural sleep product (herbal suplement) that should come this week. We also just got rid of our inner spring mattress and bought a sleep number bed in order to provide him most comfot but so far he is surviving on many cat naps and doesn't even sleep for 90 minutes straight.
