do you have quiet voice? mines comes and goes. what is the dietician saying?

I have noticed that my voice gets croaky quite often, is that common with Parkinson's? I don't know. it is like I get a frog in my throat, but it's happening more and more often.

I also seem to trip over my words at times, Very annoying.

Hey Hey,

I'm off to attend 20 PK D 'dysarthria' group sessions in Reading, starting in July, and have to be examined by an ENT specialist first.

My voice fades in the afternoons , but comes back again in the evenings.

Mike.

Nothing worse than choking - its sets of a panic reaction. Mushy food must be very dull - but at least there's ice cream???

Hi Mike

I see you are in Reading, not far from me in Bracknell!!!!. Do you go to the RBH ?

I see Dr Weir and have recently been referred to the PD specialist, Mr Bogdanovicz.

I was beginning to think Jane and I were the only ones to live near here.

There are also a few PWP dotted around Windsor.

Hi Caroline,

I live in Newbury so I see Dr Weir , or Dr Kahn at the hospital there, every six months or so, although I have seen the PD nurse also.

The next appt. is with Dr Bogdanovic.

As I understand it, there is quite a 'pocket' of PD sufferers in Newbury, although I have only met a few of them.

Regards,

Mike
