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.

Another neurologist from the same office says that I don't have it and thinks my neck, lower back and anxiety are what is causing problem's with my shaking and my walking. So he will be taking me off the Sinemet gradually to see if he can tell what my problem really is. I've also had other tests. My question is once I'm off the meds will I know whether I have the Parkinson's or not? If my symptoms stay the same and don't get… read more

This is what I found . The timing of protein intake during levodopa administration is crucial. While some individuals may not experience issues with protein intake affecting medication absorption, for… read more
Apologies up front, but I'm kind of freaking out. Seeing my neuro in a few weeks and thinking of starting medication. Tremors are getting worse but the side effects of meds make me nervous. Saw my GP dr last week and she asked why I was not on meds yet and she went into how this isn't going to get any better, it'll only get worse until my body shuts down and I'll be "locked in" within a few years. I'm 62 years old and on my own. I work full time and don't have an option of retirement. I was… read more
