@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member I hope that you are having a great day! I read your bio and completely understand. Unfortunately it took me awhile to get it that my Mom was uncomfortable in public which would lead to a very emotional episode then her being embarrassed and us rushing out from wherever we were at the time. NOW if we go out in public I have found it best to plan for a long trip. Do one thing. Then take a break somewhere. Also if she is prepared at what we are doing, has her purse, her cap, or whatever she feels she needs then she does a lot better. It was the spontaneous trips I think were too much for her. Also making sure we aren't in a crowded place helps A LOT too. Don't give up on going out. Figure out what works for you. Don't let this disease steal human interaction and adventures away from you. Yes staying at home can be wonderful and comfortable but I encourage you to step out while you still can. God Bless and Take Care!

When did your mom's crying spells Start? Before or after a med change.? Before or after a mental shock etc
a sudden death of a family member or a close Friend? Am sure you have asked yourself these questions .
Hope you can find the reason for your mom's problem soon as it has to bother her as well as you.Take Care
God Bless Hugs πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ
