Drooling and swallowing
Two things that I have noticed with my Parkinson's is drooling and difficulty with swallowing. These are related. Apparently people wallow their saliva automatically. But with Parkinson's it is not reflexive but one has to think about it. It feels like my food just sits there for a second and freezes. Then I can usually swallow. When I eat, I need to have a drink nearby. If I freeze, I take a sip of water and it flushes down.
Theory. Trying to gargle twice daily when I brush my teeth. I'm thinking this might strengthen the throat muscles. Just using plain water. I may try singing as well. I can still swallow pills which is good since I take a lot of vitamins.
My symptoms started at the age of 47. My fingers on my left hand were stiff and difficult to move. People noticed that my walk was not normal. I was often asked if I was hurt. I noticed nothing different about my walk. It was difficult getting up from a chair and getting out of a car. I was diagnosed a year later, it was the onset of tremors starting in my right hand that caused my other symptoms to be recognized as Parkinson's. I am now 58. With the new herbal medicine I purchased from Dr Fredrick was my only way to get fast relief from this PD, his herbal supplement effectively reversed my Parkinson's disease condition and alleviated all my symptoms. for more help contact him via email: drfredrick95@gmail.com
