Parkinson’s Symptom and Upcoming Travel

This week on Thymptom Thurthday, I’m talking about Dry Eye. But I’m not talking much about it, because it’s pretty straightforward.

I’ve seen Dry Eye referred to as a non-motor symptom of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). It’s caused by reduced blinking, which sounds more like a motor symptom to me. Either way, the solution for most folks is just to use lubricating eye drops. I experienced dry eye early on, and the eye drops worked for me. At some point, the problem went away. I can only guess that one of the PD drugs has returned my blinking to normal, but I really couldn’t tell ya which one. I still need the eye drops when I visit places with low humidity (e.g., Colorado), but while I’m here in Carolina, my eyes are wetter than my dog’s nose.


You may have noticed this blog has been a bit dead lately. Well, fear not! In another few weeks, this site will be flooded with Travel Reports, as I will be taking three trips in three months. These shall be:

August – Utah

September – New York City

October – Maryland

In the meantime, I still have more to say about the Vyalev pump, plus I plan to test and review TravelJohn!
