Vyalev injection pump. Anyone else on this?

Posted by haaskencal @haaskencal, Jun 10 8:04am

I have had PD for 10 years (I am 75). I took carbidopa / levodopa pill with good results for 9 years but the side affects gave me a lot of stomach pain. I have been using a new procedure called Vyalev for a year. It requires me to carry an injection pump all of the time (which is inconvenient) but I don't have the stomach problems. Has anyone else experience this?

@spatase

I hated Inbrija! It gave me a cough and i coughed up black gunk. And the black stuff came into my nose as well-- yuck. I'm just starting the vyalev pump. Yes, it's too large and unwieldy, but it makes an enormous difference in how I feel,
and I' e only bee. on it for three days!

@mauryamsterdam I was on Ibrija and had many lung issues as well. Vyalev far surpasses it. I can eat normally
