Well to all the followers of this journey, I must report today was a first for this PWP.
My P.A.D.R.E.C.C. Doctor has taken the time to order an audiology testing and an appointment with a speech pathologist. Both testing and consultations are completed. In the process they had scheduled me to see an ENT specialist..that was today's experience. I have been cleared to get state of the art hearing aids ( I have a symmetrical hearing loss) and then the nice Doctor proceeded to let me know the next procedure to view my vocal cords. A little numbing spray up the nose and down goes a lighted minicam through the nostrils to target.Thank goodness my cords are clear. Now I can look forward to a long course of therapy to overcome the effect of PD on my voice and speech.
I continue to be thankful for such a comprehensive approach to patients with Parkinson's.
THIS IS PARKINSON'S AWARENESS MONTH.
