1. Excessive farting from serious constipation problems. Every time I go into one of my bosses offices I cut millions like there is no tomorrow. Only him I do it!!!!! I always just say I excuse me - but it happens all the time. He gave me a Christmas card with an elephant farting. We have never laughed or said anything to each other but I thought the card was hilarious. I take all kind of over the counter stuff but only get some relief every now and then.
2. Excessive spitting on people when I start to speak. I never know when it is going to happen.
I hate to have to explain every time these things happen - I have PD that is why it is happening.
Help!!!!
