Hello, all. A few more questions from my mother, Sherma (age 54, newly diagnosed 1/95). It should be noted that she has decided against taking any PD meds at this time. She saw a neurologist in NY recently, but it seems like sometimes one gets better, more thoughtful responses from this group than from any one doctor :) ... She's noticed lately that her voice is getting hoarse. Are there any treatments for this? Any self-help remedies? She's feeling little "pings" on random parts of the body at random times. Is this typical? Has anyone else experienced it? Thanks to everyone on this list for all the help and support you have provided... Kathleen [log in to unmask]
