Our neurologist just recommended the Onapgo device or the Vyalev Pump for PD. Has anyone else started using either of those and have they been beneficial?

@spatase I've beeen on the pump since Februay 2024. If you go through all the things I've posted here (jatonlouise) you'll see how much I love this pump and what a monstrous difference in my llife it made for me. I now have a life worth living. It's an experilence that lots of folks with iPD have had:. Because there is not yet a definitive test for PD, it has to be inferred from the tests taken (which might show some readings that are consistent with PD, but they are also consistent with other diseases and if they pick the wrong diasnosis for you , they'll give you the wrong treatment, so they need to be very careful to avoid doing that. I'm lazy so I'll just refer you to what I've posted in res ponse to others' qyestions. If there's somsething I missed after you look through the rest lt me know and I'm sure I can cobble ome words together and I'm sure to have an opinion of some sort. 😉
