nothing close to being available though. but as cliche as it sounds, the research is advancing by leaps and bounds. am i hopeful in my 12th year for something better than duodopa or dbs before i'm too old?? yes. so one has to live their life and take care of themselves the best they can so they can get whatever that "cure" may be.
they've already proven with foetal implants that in the best outcomes, the patient will experience sig. improvement for years. the procedure had some terrible outcomes and because of that and the ethics of using aborted fetuses, research was stopped. but don't let anyone tell you advanced pd'ers can't be helped by cell implants, they have been. at least that's been my understanding.
