just as I thought, no one knows when it will actually be available. Vaccines for COVID took several months!!! It's disheartening to see this glacial progress touted as a panacea time and time again.

I'm curious about the chemistry behind it. Maybe they can reverse engineer it and know the cause?

GREAT GREAT POST! THANK YOU! This is 'exactly' what I'm looking for! I am not dx'd with PD and my stuuuuuupid neuro/MDS 'might' pay attention to this new test available!

And a lot simpler and less painfull than a spinal tap.

You're not wrong there Thai, hated that spinal tap /lumber puncture . Had the worst migraine for days after. Anything but that is a blessing

I don't understand. The article definitely does NOT say it's available any time soon.
