Pump It Up
About this episode
The episode discusses the use of pump technology in managing Parkinson's symptoms, featuring patient experiences and expert insights.
We take a look at the use of pump technology (Produodopa) in battling the symptoms of Parkinson’s.. A small pump delivers a continuous dose of medication under the skin through a small needle. How will it improve 'off' periods ? How difficult is it to manage the pump and change the infusion site? Can you lead a normal life with it? Parkinson’s patients Anna Jewell and Helga McFarlane together with 'Professor AI' tell us the pros and cons of pumping it up! Plus- Find out what happened when Kuhan turned off his DBS to play tennis… Dave starts his brain surgery journey… And Billy Connolly gets a new job as a museum tour guide… More information https://www.parkinsons.org.uk/information/drugs/produodopa
