Muscinex was recommended to me. Plus do not drink carbonated water or sodas.
Thank you Maryetta. Hugs
Does anyone have mouth sores and lots of salivia and lots of movement in the tounge and dry and burning in you mouth ?
Thank you
As a matter of fact, and now that you mention it, I have little sores on the tip of my tongue, and there’s no doubt my shirt is soggy for reasons other than missing the water fountain. I hate the fact… read more
Look into Botox shots for the drooling. It has been a godsend for my husband. Few neurologists give it but he has had it twice and the drool dries up. No more drool hanging from his mouth or spots on… read more
It comes and goes and with no regularity. The mouth may start with a metallic taste and then begin burning and causing phlegm to,the extent I feel I cannot breath. I have looked into,reflux and cut out dairy, spicy food, carbonated drinks etc but still happens. Do you think it’s a side effect of medication Sinemet and would a drip into my intestines called Duopa help to end this?
I also have GERD and take meds for it. I take 40mg omeprazole and sleep on a wedge. I avoid spicy foods AND tomato sauce and citrus juice . Hope that helps. Sometimes (if I don't get my meds on time… read more
Breaking News: Parkinson Disease
And how do you deal with them and what do you do during these off times? Bean
Balance, gate, gets my back stiff. I chew 1/2 tab of C/L and ly down or I get on my recumbent bike
Thanks for the advice and information. Brent.
My husband gets bouts of very thick phlegm - usually after drinking water/juice and swallowing too much. It might just be building up and the liquid brings it to the surface. It's not drooling but thick, globby gunk that comes out. It was suggested he try using the scopolamine patch (used for seasickness/motion sickness). Just curious if anyone has tried this and if it helps. Thanks
I take guaifenesin or musinex to thin my mucus. You can get a generic labeled chest congestion relief which is the same thing but much cheaper. I take two 400mg tablets when I need it.
My husband with Parkinson’s constantly complains that he feels like something is stuck in his throat and won’t go down. Prior to his PD diagnosis this year we had been to gastroenterologist for endoscopy, two different swallow tests. They could find no reason for this. I feel pretty sure this is due to PD. He also complains of mucus or phlegm in his throat and is always trying to cough it up. His neurologist suggested at last visit that he try Omeprazole for a month and see if that helps… read more
My husband often has pills get stuck in his throat. Usually eating a bite of bread is more effective at moving it along than drinking liquids. He is having his first meeting with a speech pathologist… read more
