II has been suggested that Neuroaid iI reduces the symptoms of PD. It is generally used for stroke patients. I would be interested to to know whether this product has been tried by others. Has it been helpful? Are there any side effects?

This is a question I have no answer to because I’ve only recently started having problems. But Botox is a no for me. Hopefully there’s another answer.
Anyone else find that the corners of their mouths are ever so slightly allowing liquid to occasionally drip out? I've also been inadvertently biting the inside of my lower lip a lot. Just subtle little changes I'm noticing, can anyone else relate?

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?

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