Thanks for the link Laura. Last time I heard Barbara was on Apomorph so interested she has changed to Duodopa. There are also the videos of Pers from Sweden which I am sure have been posted here before.

Lurkingforacure I no longer live in the UK, but i do not think this is a treatment for those who may be near needing nursing home care but more likely people like Barbara. The guidelines used (NICE guidelines) for assessment are on the web. Whether the funding is available in your area is a fraught topic.

This debate of 2007 considers whether duodopa should be offered before DBS.

I too look forward to other less invasive options but I'd like to have this option while we wait and wait.
