I really identified with Glenn's concern with his father's condition especially the drooling. I just returned from a weekend of traveling with my dad, age 78 (8yrs)PD. His drooling and swallowing problem started a month ago. When he is off he cannot eat. I watched him struggle to get down a meal several times this weekend to no avail. It took him 3 hours to eat a hamburger in the car yesterday. And what a mess it was. He will see his nero. at the end of the month. In the meantime he is loosing weight and I am afraid, his spirit. The interesting thing is that when the swallowing problem sarted his freezing spells almost quit. He moves around pretty freely, although his balance is terrible. Why would one problem disapper when another one starts? Anyone out there with some answers This is a wonderful support group. Thanks for your input. Marcia [log in to unmask]
