Eating
This seems like a crazy question but i needed to ask it
Does anyone when eating take a sort of big bite
I have been doing this and i am a little concerned
I never used to do that
Wondering if this is a Parkinson thing
I'm with the rest of the team. I cut all of my food, even burgers and sandwiches into small bites. I have chocked before and I live alone.
I also only drink through a straw to avoid chocking.
Sad but true 🤔
Eating is a chore now since I also have no smell or taste but I'm happy to still have my feet on the floor. I know a cure is on its way!

I, too, have swallowing problems with PD and have had speech therapists working with me. The same one for home therapy for over 6 years. The main thing is the size of the bites, the smaller the better; always cut meat into small bites and chew thoroughly before attempting to swallow. In drinking take small swallows and drink slowly.
I always cut my food into small pieces now otherwise it can stick going down and then it comes up again or you choke which I agree is frightening.
Thats what i was thinking also
I have been trying to watch this
A crazy thing but with Parkinson you never know

Dont have an answer for that. However choking is vary common so taking big bites would not be a good idea.

Recently I Started Biting My Tongue And/or Lip When Eating.
I Was Diagnosed With PD A Few Months Ago. I Woke This Morning With Every Muscle In Body Sore And Was Exhausted. Is This Part Of The Diseas?
