Excellent resources!! Either of the Lee Silverman programs (LSVT) - Big and Loud are both excellent. The therapists have to be certified in it to teach it so the standards are pretty high.

Hello @tamarab and @larryh123

I've noticed the same flux in appetite with Parkinson's. As I have some other health issues, I'm never sure what symptom goes with what disorder. It's been a while since my taste buds have been on top of flavors. I used to use yellow mustard but now use only brown, spicy mustard. I used to avoid garlic and now hummus is a favorite of mine.

My weight is lower now than it ever was and some days appetite seems to be a problem as well. This is a good discussion. I hope that others chime in with their reflections.
