it was time!
After 50 years of C/L and fluctuations finally some improvement!
Even a formulation of levodopa that is more persistent in the blood than normal levodopa would be desirable in the absence or waiting for the miracle , very expensive drug (-mab antibody ).

I follow your posts faithfully.
I'm looking to improve my condition, like all of us, you'd come up with the answer.
Probably costs a fortune
How is it taken
Thanks Farooqji

Bring it on..the pump and the med! It's inspiring..giddie up!
The situation in the US is very troubling. AbbVie completed extensive phase III trials two years ago and the FDA has refused to license the treatment here twice and for no apparent reason. It is now licensed in 38 countries but not the US. The latest published report in January of this year cites the FDA found an issue of non-compliance in a third party vendor that has no role in producing either the pump or the infusion. The FDA also refused to license a Japanese manufacturer offering a similar device, citing no reason at all. Is the FDA manipulating the market to delay introduction of a treatment that will compete with DBS? There are thousands of people with Parkinson's whose quality of life will be better with this device. Time to make a ruckus??
Yes! Time to make a ruckus! First step? I called the company a few months back and they could not give me a timeline regarding FDA approval. How do we go about making our voices heard?
Well, I am writing to my Senators today and to ask if their staff will inquire of the FDA why PWP in 38 other countries have this treatment and we do not. The last and very successful Phase Three trial was completed two years ago. My neuro has been telling me she can only offer DBS to deal with my erratic uptake of CL and, for two years, I have said I want to wait for this subcutaneous pump but I can't wait much longer. My DBS is scheduled for Sept 19. I have to have brain surgery because why? At least provide a reason,
I am contacting my Senators as well. And I have not scheduled anything but have been thinking about DBS as an option more than I ever have before.
The lack of approval for this product flies in the face of the recently signed into law:
National Plan to End Parkinson's Act
which I will bring up when I contact my Senators.
HHS has the responsibility to set up the planning process but I can't find the specific office that has been assigned to support it. I am asking the Senate staff for help to identify the right HHS office to contact.
Hi is it licensed to use in the UK thanks
Perhaps AbbVie was not granted FDA approval in the US in retaliation for this:

I am not usually a conspiracy theorist, but something stinks about this situation...
