Thank you for asking, I have been diagnosed a few months ago and I try not to put every problem I have under the "Parkinson" label because I don't want to focus on the negative things in my life but I feel sure that my issue of swallowing has to do with my PD.
I also know that there is not much can be done about any of this but it feels comforting to talk to others so thanks so much for being there.

@annissha Hello Anita,

Yes, I agree with you that the swallowing issue is the most difficult for me. If you can get a referral to a speech therapist they can help with that. Speech therapists can give you exercises for swallowing problems.

I'm glad that you joined Mayo Connect. I hope that it continues to be comforting to talk with others. Are you taking meds for your PD?
