Please Advise
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have problems with my speech. I tend to slur. I have been at a number of neurologists in South Africa. As I am also moving slower and Carbidopa seems to work, I take 5-6 tablets a day.

I also take Requip 4mg.

Lately I have developed problems with drooling. Carbidopa appears to assist with drooling.

What do you think?

I have 4 major concerns; slowness, speech, drooling and getting up from a chair. I do not have any other “typical” symptoms.

Should I get another medical opinion?

Swallowing
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

My issue mostly is swallowing anything like bread, crackers etc. the issue is hard for me and I’m having trouble with this because it’s all new and different.
My physician hasn’t discussed this with me. I’m felling lost. She said I’m in early stages. Will this get worse?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member

I have trouble swallowing and choke on water and food. I want to thank you for your input on this issue.
