I'm in a position to report early, very positive results with "banding" (on purpose experimentation this time, as oposed to serendipitous find repored earlier on PDPower).
Yesterday, I used my jeans belt (wider than a regular dress pants'belt) to band around my shoulders in a manner that I could work the tightness of the banding by simply propping out my chest against the fixed lenght of the loop as I felt I needed. This way, I was able to go, without ever switching OFF, from the beginning of the experiment at about 4PM, till I went to bed, at 10:30PM, i.e., 6.5 hours, stretching my doses to the max, in between, which would have normally caused me extremelly excrutianting rigidity every two hours. My condition did still oscillate from best to worst with the level of medicationbut, but I repeat, my worst did not include "OFFs" as usual.
This morning, I'm off to what appears another good day. I plan to continue experimenting with banding to gather data on repeatability and consistency of results, and what to me would be of paramount interest, to diminish my total and extreme dependency on levodopa, signalling the possibility of disease reversal.
