Does anyone remember the name of the lady in her 80's who posted about an experimental medicine she is taking and getting outstanding results ? Also what is the name of that medicine ? It starts with a T.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member , Hey I found the medicine. it is called Tasigna (Nilotinib). Michael Fox Foundation website has a lot about. I still do not remember the good lady's name. Also for people starting to have poor response to their levodopa there is another antiviral that is being used: Amantadine (Symmetrel). All the best.
