Apokyn Injectable -about To Start On It. Anyone Use This Drug?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

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 wish that kynmobi was still available so my husband is taking Apokyn.
If anyone has any extra, I would be happy to purchase it from them
I live in Atlanta
Please let us know. Thanks

Are There Specific Exercises PD Patients Should Do?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

Can Parkinson's Be Fatal?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

From my point of view, I recognize that many people with Parkinson's can live many years after their diagnosis. Albeit with… read more

Has Your Neurologist Ordered Sinemet To Help Diagnose Parkinson's?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Neurologist order Sinemet 1 tab, 3 x day. My husband took this for 3 weeks with no change. Doc now wants him to take 2 tabs then increase to 3 tabs to make sure it doesn't work. Has anyone experienced this, did it help diagnose PD, and what were the side effects?
Thank you
Patricia
