Life isn’t only diseases, there are other things to focus on. And sometimes you are lucky to be able to combine health care and joy! Like this week, when travelling through France to buy Tanganil for my REM sleep behaviour disorder. I am not sure if this journey will be completely healthy, though, there are a little too many temptations like good wine, good food and late nights.
Starting our journey at the Spanish border in San Sebastián ,we met a nice couple from Cardiff with whom we discussed different ways to fight PD. Passing the border to Hendaye, the first pharmacy did not have any Tanganil to offer. The train then took us to Bordeaux and immediately at the central station there was a pharmacy providing us with 3 boxes. Yesterday we went for a wine tour to St. Emilion, a very famous wine producing village. There was one pharmacy as well as 48 wine shops so we came out of the shopping somewhat tipsy with one expensive Bordeaux bottle and 3 expensive boxes of Tanganil. Although alcohol is a trigger for my sleep disorder, I haven’t had any bad dreams on this journey so far. Now heading north to Nantes, will keep you posted about how we succeed with the Tanganil shopping!
