I have young-onset parkinson's. I am 40 years old and I was very apprehensive about taking the risk of DBS at this point in time. I was lucky to get into the double-blind clinical trial of optimal oral therapy vs LCIG. My hunch is I was randomized to LCIG. for the first time in about a year I have not had the complete, random, unpredictable off-periods that limited my ability to do just about anything productive. We will have to see if my hunch is correct in the open label phase of the study.

I would be interested in learning about alternative pump-carrying techniques.

Also, are there any other yopa people who have tried duodopa?
