My Aunt is 78 yrs old and has pd. Lately she has been having haluciations only after dark and is very troubled by them. Explosions in her head is what she describes them as. She has asked me to find out if others have this problem since she does not have access to a computer nor would she use one if she did. She also has a morphine pump for back pain and is wondering if that would cause the halucinations. Thank you for your help.

Thank you Googy. I don't know how to tell her that. I was afraid it might be something like that. Thank you for the info.
