Inhaled Levadopa Improves Motor Skills in Parkinsons . Although I am not on levadopa I found this article interesting and thought it may interest those of you suffering off times.

I think this will be a boon for those with advanced PD but they have to get it past the FDA first. The FDA has been reluctant to approve inhaled meds in the past, but it has been done.

Yes there's that.....It is not really a new med, just a new delivery system. Hopefully passes muster with the FDA.

Had a friend on a trial of this. He found it really effective. That was about 4 yrs ago. Still waiting.....

I can often shorten off times with multiple types of small muscle actions( ie swingin arms rolling eyes opening and shutting fists, mouth and tongue,rotating head efc.)
