What a bunch of crap! Ibuprofen, BS, and anger
Has anyone paid attention to the media splash from about four years ago about ibuprofen and PD? Yeah, me neither.
I'm sure that a couple of dozen of hi-powered research teams got right on it. Turned out 50 papers or so by now. Special interest on how it affects symptoms once you have it I was sure. Give a bunch of PWP a bunch of ibuprofen and see if anything improves. Simple.
Dream on, my child. Go to Medline and see for yourself. A dozen or so academics kicking around old data and harrumphing about no proof of prevention. Not one single work asking "Does it help you function?"
Not one.
Do any of you newbies grasp what that says about where you rate in this mess? And why we old timers get so mad?
