We had 3 choices, we thought:
- sinemet, levodopa - the same treatment as 60 years ago; - duodopa - announced constantly since 2008 or earlier, but still in hiding - Deep Brain Stimulation The last 2 of the 3 have gone missing somewhere. This thread is about the Duodopa Spring of 2013. The thread about re-wiring your brain for profit and pleasure is located at: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread187928.html This is W-SPAZ news, signing off for the night. Parkinson's: don't leave home without it. |

Bob,
As I see it, we have another choice: organizing ourselves to get the best out of existing drugs to meet our own unique needs. How many of us are optimally medicated? If a pill comes in discrete blobs, 50, 75, 100mg etc. then it's likely that we fall between strengths. If our medication schedule is every 3 hours or 4 hours, or whatever, how likely is that to be perfectly correct? There's many things we can do. For instance, I'm looking at "liquid" levodopa, sipped every few minutes. John
