How Do Caregivers Deal With Their Own Anger & Frustration Issues?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Do You Find That Different States Create Different Symptoms With PD?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I live in MN and do have dizzy spells and headaches with PD. However, traveling to Mesa, AZ I am dizzy for at least 6 hours of the day and severe headaches. Do others find different states cause different reactions and symptoms with PD?
