Fluctuating Parkinson's

I have fluctuating Parkinson's, meaning my meds can wear off any given time and very quickly. Within 3-5 minutes. I can also develop dyskinesia very rapidly if in a stressful situation. So difficult to control and predict..my MD would like to place a pump called Duopa to keep me evened out. Anyone experience this

  1. Hi Mandi, Do you have rare form of PD? I'm not familiar with medications wearing off so rapidly or the idea of a pump to provide medication. Can you give us more details on your situation? Are you in the United States? We appreciate you sharing your experience with our community. Sometimes the latest medical technology reaches one of our community members before we know about it! We learn from each other. Blessings on your day, Suzanne Troy, ParkinsonsDisease.net team member
