Hi Jackie,

That is a horrible problem, with PD. & you are not alone.
The only way that seems to help is using swallowing and other like exercises to get the throat muscles 'working again ’
Unfortunately as far as I know there is no medication at the moment that can help ameliorate that.
Sorry. :pensive:
