My sister is about to start Apokyn which is a rescue drug that is injected( like diabetes’ injectable with small thin needle that doesn’t hurt). It supposed to kick in within 10-20 minutes and last about an hour while other carbidopa-levodopa kicks in ( takes about an hour for that). Anyone have experience with this drug?
I have never heard of these drugs. I will stick to THC it alot more natural.
My husband was diagnosed in December at age 69. He has been going to the gym -- mostly walking on the treadmill and using the rowing machine. I'm wondering if there are specific exercises he should be doing and if a trainer would help. Thank you and warm wishes for your journey.

Could someone find it in their hearts, to execute the courtesy and reply to my question, which is,
what is meaning of ,'stages' in respect to Parkinson's Condition.? I have not come across this term in this context.
Surely someone will know......
You sound like my husband. Ya'll could be good friends. One catch though. You have to watch Fox News and the Five on TV. LOL😁
I thought there were 5 stages. However I’ve seen newer members describe their PD diagnosis as mild, medium or severe.
My understanding is that there are 4 stages. The last stage is the most difficult for both the patient & the caregiver.
I was diagnosed with plantars fasciitis in April of last year. I've seen 2 podiatrists but nothing seems to help.
@JamieBlackShephard - I am doing neuro physio exercises called PD Warriors now and that is helping me overall a good deal. They are very good at dealing with physical problems caused or exaceberated… read more
My mum is in the end stage of Parkinsons. The doctors have now taken her off most of the medication she was on as they say that because she has had Parkinsons for almost 22 years the medications do not work as they should. I could do with talking to others that have had or know someone that has had Parkinsons for this length of time. I'm so worried at the moment as last week mum was put on another drug to help keep her calm its called Trazadone but it has made her even worse she has been like a… read more
Sandy, some injections are given in the calf and others in the feet
And how long does it take
When I was diagnosed with Epilepsy, I knew I could die from status epileptic seizure. So far so good 30 years in. When I was put in the hospital with my blood pressure super soaring, I survived. When… read more
I get tired of hearing people say that you don't die from Parkinson's. Instead you die from losing your balance and falling. You die from choking because you no longer can swallow. You die from sepsis or multiple system failure.
Following that logic can you say that someone didn't die from COVID? Instead they died from sepsis, pneumonia or many other related illnesses?
From my point of view, I recognize that many people with Parkinson's can live many years after their diagnosis. Albeit with… read more
you are a brave brave soul
