Hello, I am new to the list and am not sure if my suggestion has been given already. My name is Maxine Cain, my mother has been diagnosed with Parkinson's. I think softness of voice is a part of Parkinson's, however, I don't remember where I read that. I've heard about the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (_http://www.lsvt.org/_ (http://www.lsvt.org/) ) being helpful for the softness of voice, but have yet to take my mom to this therapy. I believe she had a cine esophagogram done at the hospital that showed she had difficulty with swallowing, too. Maxine Cain <<Hi to all, I've been reading this listserv a couple of months now, and thanks to all for sharing information. In addition to PD, I have developed a decent case of General Anxiety Disorder, which I am also being treated. I am taking Sinemet and Mirapex. One of my symptoms is a weak voice, stammering and stuttering which affects my teaching, etc. Now here's my question. My neurologist seems to think that this is due to the anxiety and not the PD. I've read in many places that PD causes this. Any insight. **************Need a new ride? Check out the largest site for U.S. used car listings at AOL Autos.
