Dennis, This is interesting. My mother claims that her PD is worse on weekends (others she's spoken to have this experience, too) due to the fact that a routine is not in place and she's not as good a remembering to take her drugs. Don't know how she'd do on a vacation -- I know she deserves one. Debbie White [log in to unmask] > > My tremors are more pronounced after lifting weights or under stress at work > or at home.
