Dear Listmembers, I feel disgusted and very angry that , in this day of the internet, and global marketing, that the patient's access to time-tested, proven medications is limited by crazy , self-serving, profit-making, political and geographic turf wars. Why are our valued medications, at this point in human history, not available GLOBALLY? They should be!!! Noting Brian Collins moving and MARVELLOUS 21st year of success in living a productive and full life on medications only, and noting that dispersible Madopar takes only 20 mins. to take effect, I am frustrated that it is not available in the USA/ So I ask, impatiently, but with hope, what can we as a world community do, to obtain dispersible Madopar, globally?? OR, to put the question in another way, how can we learn to apply PRESSURE effectively, upon the manufacturers? Can we push Dupont to make SInemet, and Athena to make Atamet, and Teva to make generic carbidopa-levodopa, all ABSORBABLE within 15-20 minutes? Or to we be forced to think of working in dangerous, unapproved networks, linking us to the United Kingdom, to get Madopar?? Even at my best, my "off-periods" can often last 40 minutes, no matter what I am able to do to prepare for them .or to avoid them. Should any PWP have to wait unnecessary hours, every day, in order to function?
