" I ruined ". NO you didn't ruin. Yeah a bunch of ugly stuff happened. I have to constantly remember the PD is universal in my life. My emotions. My thought processes. My spirit. My relationships. ALL have PD. I'm not saying that I don't have to be responsible for how I think feel and act. I am saying that there is a tyrant always striving to be in charge. Every thing that happens isn't because " I have PD " but that is a reality that I have to acknowledge. Not an excuse not a reason but yes a fact. I'm sorry about your trip and the pain between you and your wife. Both of you have something ugly living under your roof. Be generous with each other but remember " a reason isn't an excuse"

I think anything that can stress you out or cause too much excitement can impact Parkinson's. The long flight, lack of sleep, off your normal schedule, any or all of those things would have driven me over the edge. I feel bad for your wife. When I'm out of sorts , I always apologize to my husband and tell him I don't mean to be this way but sometimes the deamon takes over!

Have a wonderful trip. It's very beautiful.

I am going on a trip to the south of France in March. Hoping for the best.

I just got back from a trip with a 3 hour time difference. I got confused with the meds, when to take or did I take. I was also, trying a new medication. I hadn't seen my son in almost a year but I missed time with him because I would tell them to go without me while I fell apart in the hotel room. For me it was the time change and new meds.
