My neuro🙄... I was asking for sub-lingual apomorphine to fill in the gaps when stalevo wears off. Or the inhaler, inbrija. Nooo we don't dooo those, we're British. Have some dispersible madopar. Yeah, right. That's just madopar tablets. I'll have a go at your idea 💡though. Madopar shots.🎉🎊Let's party..

Good luck to us with the stem cell trials with the new prion killer vaccine, maybe soon.

Just for fun, read the CT results on SL APO.

"Of the 141 eligible patients enrolled in the open-label dose titration phase, 32 discontinued treatment including 12 due to adverse events."

This 23% drop out rate and 31% experiencing side effects is significant regardless of presumed benefits of a reduction of 7.6 points on the part III UPDRS scale (given the average dose of L-Dopa of 1,033 milligrams per day which implies participants had advanced PD).

Stalevo is seldom prescribed in the US for males for reasons of prostate cancer (see the relevant CT).

Best of luck with stem cell treatments.

Oh dear. That's a worry. I was just saying how glad I am not having cancer. Better see what neuro🙄 has to say. If I can ever get hold of her.

Roy, have you tried this and what were the results? I wonder if this could increase the dopamine level too fast.

I just did two hours ago. Effect inconclusive.
