A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question đź’­

My Dr is looking at putting me on Apokyn pending my getting financial assistance with the cost. Can any of you give me any feedback about your experiences concerns side effects advice? Thanks. I just heard about it this morning and it's nice to have a place where I can turn to so quickly! Aloha
