This is such good news. Since this has been available in Europe for some years now I would love to hear from anyone who has been using it. It is just what I need - well, what I really need is a cure. But you know what I mean.

How does this help Parkinson's patients?
"The efficacy of Xadago in treating Parkinson’s disease was shown in a clinical trial of 645 participants who were also taking levodopa and were experiencing “off” time. Those receiving Xadago experienced more beneficial “on” time, a time when Parkinson’s symptoms are reduced, without troublesome uncontrolled involuntary movement (dyskinesia), compared to those receiving a placebo. The increase in “on” time was accompanied by a reduction in “off” time and better scores on a measure of motor function assessed during “on” time than before treatment."
I have seen three articles on this so far but I didn't save the links. I'm sure if you Google you can get the information.
