I have a different question for you Soccertese ..the L-DOPA that you referred to if it is inhaled that should eliminate the nausea I always get but the question I have is when the Levodopa goes directly to the Brain how long could it last compared to slowly being assimilated through the stomach. Wouldn't you have to constantly inhale it? Have you heard a tentative date for it's approval?
good question, my understanding is it is intended to be a rescue drug like apomorphine, to get you "on" in an emergency, not as a primary drug. might be approved in late 2017?

Feedback from fellow folks with Rytary -- some love it; some hate it! Meet up with friends, she has had PD for 20 years, and with Rotary was doing great! Huge difference in mobility and able to enjoy a meal.

One thing I was going to mention is have your PCP (Primary Care Physician) do a full blood workup. I kept thinking cognitive issues were getting bad, but turned out I have almost no Vitamin D. So 4000 IU of Vitamin D is part of my supplements, and made a difference. Now if I could just remember where I put my glasses.
