I'm not where I want to be, but I'm not where I used to be.
A remarkable thing happened in January and I have heard little about it. Do you know that the FDA approved the use of a carbidopa/levodopa gel along with a medication pump which delivers the drug similar to a feeding tube into the digestive system past the stomach where the medication bypasses the stomach and is absorbed into your body. The big deal with this is NO MORE PILLS!!
I have been on the pump since October and have taken probably 10 pills whereas a used to take two pills every two hours of the day. Along with that I was dyskinetic, had off and on times that were very inconsistent.
