Hello @gpo and welcome to the Parkinson's (PD) support group on Mayo Connect. I'm sure you must be frustrated at the inability of your medical team to come up with some answers to help with the symptoms you are experiencing.
You mention, difficulty swallowing." What type of difficulty are you experiencing? Do you choke when you swallow or does food get stuck? Often, speech therapists can offer suggestions and exercises to help with swallowing problems. Speech therapists are really unsung heroes for individuals with neurological issues. Have you been referred for speech therapy?
Have any meds or physical therapy been offered to you for the other movement disorder symptoms?
