[QUOTE=pegleg;469130]Duodopa is a treatment that hsA been used in Europe for some time. Now it's finally here in the US! It sounds like one of the most promising treatments for those radical off/on times (including dyskinesia).

I cannot join this trial because I had experimental brain surgery, so help out if you fit the criteria (go to the link for inclusion/exclusion criteria):

This therapy has interested me for a long time. I have severe on/off fluctuations with dyskinesia. My greatest challenge is eating as I'm extremely sensitive to eating anything. I have a problem getting enough calories and nutrition unless I spend 2-3 hours off after every meal or snack. If I push my sinemet at all to try to get a little more on time I risk dyskinesia.

I read through the inclusion/exclusion criteria and I think I'm an ideal candidate for this trial. How to proceed? Is it best to pursue this through my neurologist?
