Hi Everybody. I was very interested to read about Neupro Patches. I have been using them for about a year, now on 6mg. I feel much better since starting to use them, except I cant keep still! Also as I have to stick them on myself I run out of places that I can reach !

just think of the savings on waxing! but on the other hand occasional stillness seems a necessary condition for a successful meds regime.

I have found neupro to be an absolute godsend .....I have reduced my Madopar intake by 1/2 and my mobility is great most of the day - I have just spent 17 days at the Olympics photographing at the football -10 matches in total at three different venues : in London ( Wembley x 3 ) , Manchester ( Old Trafford x 3 ) an Cardiff (Millennium Stadium x 1) I was also lucky enough to watch and take photos at Badminton, Basketball , Beach Volleyball and Taekwondo. It involved lots of walking with heavy bags and equipment and transport on trains and buses / tubes / taxis . Totally exhausted afterwards but still thankfull for the Neupro - they enabled me to fulfill my dream!biggrinbiggrinbiggrin
