Hello!
Thank you for reaching out to us.

We understand your worry about your grandpa who has been diagnosed with Stage 3 Parkinson’s Disease and has recently been admitted. Now he’s been experiencing pain, recurring low-grade fever, and having trouble while sleeping. We will try to help you out.

We are not able to provide you with an accurate answer to your question as we need to review your grandpa’s full medical history along with his current medications and physical examination. However, the symptoms you have described, which is the jerking movement while sleeping is related to Parkinson’s and could be the cause of it. You also mentioned that your grandpa has been crying, moaning, talking and shouting in sleep. This is consistent with the cognitive and behavioral changes that happens in Parkinson disease, but we cannot be sure as we need further information from you. The low-grade fever you mentioned might be due to some infection but we can only confirm this after running a few tests. We encourage you to speak to a neurologist regarding your grandpa’s condition for further assessment. You can contact our neurologist so that we can help you further regarding this.

We hope that this answer has been helpful.
Thank you.
