2 Parkies in a Pod: a Parkinson's Podcast

Finding My Voice


Listen Later

Are you struggling to get yourself heard because your voice is quiet, mumbled or you just cant get the words out?

Are your meds getting stuck in your throat?

Do you dribble or have a dry mouth?

We may be able to help!

This week the boys catch up with Tim Grover, consultant speech therapist in the movement disorders department at University College London.

He tells us why people with Parkinson’s suffer speech problems, offer some tips on swallowing and explains the right time to seek specialist help.

More information can be found on the Parkinson's UK website:

Speech & Communication problems in Parkinson's

Eating, Swallowing & Saliva control in Parkinson's

We also reflect on the impact of our last episode about life expectancy with Parkinson’s.

And doing AMAZING things this week .. A Parkie swimming the channel, the Premier League referee going public about his diagnosis, and a Parkie taking part in the 2024 Olympics.

We hope you enjoy it…
