I of course cover the research activities at Parkinsons Recovery for the past month which focused on dehydration and the function of our gut which has a profound influence on symptoms. Posts are found on the Parkinsons Recovery blog here: https://www.blog.parkinsonsrecovery.com
Today’s Support Group gathering focused on swallowing issues experienced by several members. We covered as a group several suggestions to address this particular challenge. I have also included below the link to my interview with Dr. Joel Herskowitz MD on Parkinsons Recovery Radio. He provides solutions to swallowing problems and has a book dedicated to the challenge.
Difficulty with swallowing is a typical symptom of Parkinson’s. How do you know for sure that you have a swallowing problem and if you do, what do you do about it? Dr. Joel Herskowitz, M.D. and Dr. Roya Sayadi, Ph.D., authors of the just released book, Swallow Safely: How Swallowing Problems Threaten the Elderly and Others. A Caregiver’s Guide to Recognition, Treatment, and Prevention answer these questions and explain the critical role of safe swallowing for persons with Parkinson’s symptoms.
