Suggest Treatment For Fatigue In Atypical Parkinsonism Patients
I am writing for my husband. He has been diagnosed with atypical parkinsonism. His big problem is being so tired all the time. He needs to sleep at least 16 hours a day and would sleep more if I did not tell him to get up. Showering or just shaving tires him so much he has to lay in bed. His doctor says he cannot do anything about fatigue.

but a trial of amantadine is good since it may give some benifit
