Hello Phil,

I'm pleased to learn a little more about your wife's health difficulties. As she was just diagnosed 2 years ago, she will have a lot to learn about dealing with this disorder. Is there a PD support group that she might attend virtually? Often hospitals will provide such a support group. If she could meet with others who have PD she would undoubtedly find she is not alone and would adjust to this complicated health issue.

Regarding the constipation issue, fiber supplements and Miralax products need to be used on a daily basis in order to keep the problem from becoming chronic. I'm glad that she has been addressing the pelvic floor disorder. That can be very helpful as well.

I hope that your wife is also active and that she has some exercises that she enjoys. This is important in order to delay the progression of PD as well as to deal with constipation. There are many seated exercise videos on Youtube that can be accessed free of charge and used when she has the time and energy. Exercise is just wonderful for all aspects of PD.

The Davis Phinney Foundation offers some very good information about PD. If you sign up on their website you will get emails with very helpful information. Here is that website, https://davisphinneyfoundation.org/.

I enjoy hearing from those members who have PD. We are really better together. I hope you will keep me informed as to how she is doing. Will you post updates as you are able?
