I have theorized for years that mere dopamine replacement is NOT the best therapy for Parkinson's, especially for young onset patients. We probably should be using anything but supplements or agonists for anyone dx prior to age 45-50.

We know that we are going to develop long-term side effects when dx at an early age, but some of the professionals treating the young onset patients must not have received the memo! I often sit in conference presentations or support groups where I have to bite my tongue to keep from blurting out "Where have you been for the last decade?" And that may be a good place to start I.e., make the public aware of such facts.

I must get back to my commitments now, posting here is s another compulsive behavior for which I have a problem!
