Just curious, my mom has Parkinsons or parkinsonian symptoms, and problems
with feinting (that doesnt look right), when she stands. Is this a ShyDrager
'thing' or just something that pops up? And when it comes to eating, she
will chew solid food till the cows come home but wont swallow. they did
swallow tests with the results being that she has no problems swallowing.
Now she is on a pureed diet and is doing good feeding herself and swallowing
(she wasnt before, even with pureed unless I fed her and then gave her a sip
of water after every bite). Any ideas about that also? Thanks for the help.
Hope I havent asked to much at once. Linda
