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?

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.

Driving With Parkinson's
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Just read a recent posting on Driving with Parkinson's. Has anyone experienced an issue in obtaining automobile insurance after informing your insurance company that you have been diagnosed. Can you even obtain insurance if you have PD? If you don't inform your insurance company of your PD and you get in an accident, can they refuse to pay your claim which could potentially expose you to a large liability lawsuit?
