your opinions would be greatly appreciated
Hi all,
Long time no post. I have another question for you all - just trying to figure out if I am nuts.
Do you think that current meds treat the cardinal, i.e., motor, symptoms of the disease well enough that further research into motor symptomatic therapies is a lower priority than other research goals (i.e., the so-called non-motor symptoms, and neuroprotection (which is a *very* long term goal))?
OK and one more question:
Which of the following makes more sense from a patient perspective:
1) spending research money on finding treatments for the side effects of levodopa
2) spending research money on finding therapies that don't cause side effects like levodopa
Thank you - I probably haven't phrased these questions such that my own opinion isn't obvious, but I really need to know - just for my own sanity - what other people with PD's thoughts are.
thanks,
boann
