Maggie (and your "youngish-Parkie-friend") If your PD friend is able to do so, I suggest before you go looking for a specialized pharmacy for is PD meds, see if - when he takes his pills - just tipping his chin/head down a little from his usual drinking position (I.e., just hold his head straight, rather than tipping it BACKWARDS as he swallows) and see if THAT'LL help get the pills down. This simple change was suggested to ME several years ago (and I've had PD for 25 years) and it's worked like a charm each and every time! Good luck to your "youngish" friend (grinning) Youngish Barb Mallut <giggle> [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Maggie Salls <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wednesday, February 09, 2000 2:53 PM Subject: swallowing >A youngish relative of mine with PD is beginning to have difficulty swallowing pills. He has been good about taking vitamins and I'm afraid he will become discouraged about taking them now. I'm wondering if there is a pharmacy which specializes in high potency small size pills. Thanks for your help. > >Maggie Salls
