Your description of throat/mouth/jaw pain really struck me. My wife, 76/10+, has had this symptom for about 4 years, and it is probably the mosy distressing of all of her problems. The literature is silent about such pain, and it is not supposed to be a part of PD, which is a motor, not a sensory disorder. BUT this pain does respond to Sinemet and is most likely to occur in the mid-evening. She takes liquid Tylenol, bur frankly, we don't know whether that really helps or is just something to do. She does seem to get some help from Klonopin, a muscle relaxant related to Valium. This also makes her slepy, so it is a good Rx to take at night. We'd like to hear more about your experience.
