My PD affects tongue, Jaw & throat. Slight choking risk. And cramp!

Will this spread or stay in the same area?

From the case study (n=1)...citedd by Asper...

This person was not healthy to begin with...He had a medical history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia."

The protocol that resolved some of his problems is as follows:

"Based on his history and examination, with the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, the patient was started on pramipexole (3 × 0.125 mg) and the dose was increased gradually (every 5 days) up to 3 mg/day. At this dose, he noticed some improvement in his tongue tremor. However, since it was still disturbing after 2 months, levodopa 150 mg/day was added to the therapy. With this combination, he reported an approximately 80% improvement in his complaints. On his follow-up, his neurologic examination was significantly improved and UPDRS score regressed from 13 to 5."

Always check with a qualified neurologist who specializes in PD or the nearest PD Center of Excellence.

You might want to check out Dr. Farias' online program for dystonia - he has a lot of mouth exercises. I've seen him in person four times and he knows his stuff - it takes time but I had a lot of positive changes in my tongue mobility, though no swallowing issues. dystoniarecoveryprogram.com He just released the online program $35/month.

Not sure if it would help tremor of throat too? You would need to research and check with GP.
