About Me
I am a 77year old retired career managment consultant who retired because my voice had softened and I had excess saliva (droling)....diagnosed as Parkinsons in June 2008. Since then have started the "Parkinson gait" and the drooling has increased. I have had balance and voice theropy which has helped. I try hard to maintain a positive attitude!!
