My PD life is confusing - this is not easy. How do I accept it?

Hello @21amy
I had not heard of this being used as a PD treatment before. According to the website, https://www.inbrija.com/, this is an inhaled treatment that helps during off times. It appears that it does not replace Sinemet (carbidopa/levodopa) but is used in addition to it when symptoms are a problem between does of Sinemet.
Is this your understanding as well? Did your neurologist prescribe this? Once you begin this medication I (and many of our members) would be interested in knowing if it is helpful.
Will you post again with any other information about the Inbrija inhaler?

It was prescribed by my neurologist at Mayo Rochester. He is known worldwide for his treatment of Parkinson’s. I should be getting it soon. I will get it through a specialty pharmacy out of Minneapolis. It is for freezing and breakthrough symptoms. I am taking Rytary for my main Parkinson’s med and will use the inhaled medication only as needed. I will update after I have used.
