Discovered Tips For Travelling With Parkinson's Disease

If you cross time zones adjust the time you take your medications accordingly unless your doctor tells you otherwise. You want to be symptom free when you need to interact with others in the current time zone. But if you have motor fluctuations you need to take your medications based on your pattern of fluctuations rather than the current time zone. Discuss the timing of your doses with your doctor before you travel.
There is usually not any problem with border officials who inspect your luggage and medications. A huge number of people carry their medications with them through security checkpoints every day. If you have a large number and variety of medications it may be useful to have a letter from your doctor indicating that you need to take these drugs in a timely manner in case any questions arise from border officials.
Try not to travel alone. If you need assistance a traveling companion can be a lifesaver. Plus it is more fun to travel with another person.
Leave detailed information with your family or with some trusted friends on where you will be staying and for how long. They can provide this information to authorities who can reach you in case of emergency.
Enjoy yourself
