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.

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

My father was diagnosed with Parkinson's 2 years ago and I am trying to research as much as I can on ways of slowing the progression of the condition down and giving him the best quality of life as possible.

chest x rays are clear; gasping and wheezing. have an albuterol nebulizer that helps some--any body else have this or know what helps? Thanks feeling desperate

It is known that atypical parkinson does not respond well to Levodopa/carbidopa. .It would be interesting to know other alternative treatments. Please share your experience. Thank you.
