What Is The Best Way To Deal With Long Haul Flights (New Zealand) If You Have Parkinson's, For Example, Medication And Change Of Time Zones?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am worried about the different times interfering with my dosage. Do I take the medication at British times or the time zone I am in, before meals or at the right time according to Britain? I don't want to feel ill if I can prevent it of course.

PS: might want to ask nicely for a bottle of water from the crew, for your many RX.

Don't be shy about asking for assistance (wheelchair, etc) and drink lots of water (ask to be seated on the aisle if possible, close to a lavatory). No idea about the RX--might want to ask your MD. Happy travels!

I gradually adjust it to new time zone. Am very careful to avoid a fall.
