God, this situation stinks when we wait years for a different delivery mechanism for a 40 year old drug to be tested.

Why not provide Duodopa to all, today, whats the worst that can happen.

I will attempt to provide an update on UK status following my neuro meeting 11/09.

I have been in the study since March 2009. I live in Ohio and just wanted to jump in and say that this system really works! I noticed that there seems to be some concern about infection at the port site. I have had little problem with this. A port is a port. Simply keeping the site clean and not snagging your port on something and jerking it are the two most important items. I am now in the second year of treatment. I was not in a blind study. I got the drug from the first. I only have to see my neurologist every six months and life is great.
