Confused New Member
Hi to all. I am an over 70 male who has been diagnosed with Parkinsons since 2003. I have been treated mainly with Carbidopa-Levo and had minimal results. Since mid 2004 have been getting involuntary movements of mouth (lips, tongue, and jaw) which have impacted on my speech. In the last year this speech problem has gotten progressively worse to the point where I drool a lot and have ultra difficulty speaking. Has anyone out there had similar symptoms, and if so what was the treatment if any? Thanks.

Wink Hello Lou
Lou,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. You will find a great number of people here to help you with your questions. We are a great group of people here to show care and support to each other and new comers.

Someone should be coming in soon to help you with you. I am not that familiar with Parkinsons, but there are ones here that are. There is a Parkinsons forum here that will probablity help you out.

I just wanted to welcome you aboard. Hope to see more of you.

Darlene

Default Thank You
Ms Darlene, thanks for the kind words. I think I'll hit the sack now and will talk in the near future. Thanks again.
