Thanks for this info on constipation. We are facing challenges in this area. My dad can only have water by spoon due to choking hazard and minced food. So there is no way to get 8 glasses of water in...he's not awake long enough in day. He can't take pills unless they are crushed.
He's getting every bit of fibre possible with pureed veggies, prunes, oatmeal etc. But it's not enough. Do you know if Senokot can be crushed or is it time release and needs to be intact?
He is currently getting Lansoyl but I don't know the long term issues. Thanks!

It might be useful to have a blood test. My neurologist told me that even minor infections can cause extreme fatigue in PD patients, which would come
and go without any effect in folks without PD.
