🌟 Fatigue in Parkinson’s Disease — More Than “Just Tired”

Melbourne NeuroCare | Comprehensive Neurology & Movement Disorders Care

Fatigue is one of the most disabling and least recognised symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Many people describe it as “the feeling of having no fuel left” — even when motor symptoms are well controlled.

At Melbourne NeuroCare, we understand how deeply fatigue can impact independence, mood, mobility, and overall quality of life. The good news? Fatigue is treatable, and early recognition makes a big difference.

🔍 Why does fatigue happen in Parkinson’s?

Fatigue can appear due to a combination of:
• Brain changes affecting motivation and
energy regulation
• Sleep disruption (REM sleep disorder, insomnia, nocturia)
• Medication wearing-off
• Mood changes (anxiety or depression)
• Autonomic issues (low blood pressure, slow gut)

It is a real neurological symptom—not a sign of weakness.

⚠️ When to seek help?

If fatigue is:
• Limiting your daily activity
• Worse in the morning
• Affecting movement, speech, or thinking
• Not improving with rest

…our team can help identify the cause and tailor treatment.

💡 How we help at Melbourne NeuroCare

Our specialised Parkinson’s program includes:
• Medication optimisation
• Sleep assessment and treatment
• Autonomic evaluation
• Exercise and energy-conservation strategies
• Dietitian and psychology support
• Advanced therapies (DBS, MRgFUS, infusions) when appropriate

Personalised care is key — because each person’s Parkinson’s journey is different.

🤝 You’re not alone

If you or a loved one is living with Parkinson’s and fatigue, reach out to our movement disorder specialists.

🌿 Rest. Restore. Rewire. 🧠✨
At Melbourne NeuroCare, we understand that healing the brain goes far beyond medication and treatment plans.

In the fast pace of life, rest is not a luxury — it’s a neuroscience necessity.

🛌 Adequate sleep and rest help your brain consolidate memory, reduce inflammation, and repair nerve pathways.
🌅 Quiet time, mindfulness, and stress reduction can help ease symptoms in neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease, migraines, epilepsy, and even improve mental health.
💆🏽‍♀️ Slowing down activates the parasympathetic nervous system — your body’s natural recovery mode — supporting neuroplasticity and emotional resilience.

Let your brain breathe.
Rest is not doing nothing — it’s allowing everything to heal. 🌸

If you or a loved one is navigating a neurological condition, we’re here to support your full recovery — mind, body, and spirit.

🧠 Did You Know Anxiety Can Worsen Neurological Conditions? 😟➡️⚡

Anxiety doesn’t just affect the mind—it deeply impacts the brain and body.

At Melbourne NeuroCare, we see first-hand how unmanaged anxiety can:

🔄 Trigger or intensify migraines
🌀 Worsen tremors and motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease
🧭 Disrupt sleep and concentration
⏳ Delay recovery and affect treatment outcomes

Many of our patients with neurological disorders experience anxiety, sometimes as a reaction to their condition, and sometimes as a contributing factor.

But here’s the good news: anxiety is treatable, and managing it well can significantly improve quality of life and neurological function. Our team takes an integrated approach, working with GPs, psychologists, and allied health professionals to provide holistic care.

📅 If you or your loved ones are navigating both anxiety and a neurological condition, don’t wait. Let’s work together to improve brain and emotional health.

🧠 “After my stroke, I couldn’t open my right hand… I thought this was my new normal.”

Meet George, a 68-year-old retired teacher who had a stroke 14 months ago. He recovered well initially, but months later, his right hand became stiff and curled into a fist. Walking became painful. Simple daily tasks were frustrating.

🔎 His GP referred him to Melbourne NeuroCare, where our team diagnosed post-stroke spasticity — a common but often overlooked condition that causes muscle tightness, spasms, and pain after a stroke.

💉 With targeted botulinum toxin treatment and ongoing physiotherapy, George can now open his hand, walk more comfortably, and even garden again.

🙌 “I had no idea this was treatable. I just wish I’d come sooner.” – George

If you or someone you love is living with stiffness, spasms, or movement issues after a stroke, we’re here to help.
