How does this compare with apomorphine
Hi Cardlady".
I haven’t seen any posts from. You for a while. I hope that’s a good sign and that you are too busy.
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 don't see much talk about this on websites. Why is that? Is there something not good about it?

Anyone out there taking Kynmobi for off times? My husband is going to start it this Friday would like to hear from anyone that is presently taking this drug, does it help?

My doc. Is putting me on that and I am still not sure if I trust that It will work for me . He gave me one dose.
I felt unstable while walking. Does the body learn to coop with that?
I have Parkinson's for about 12 years. I started losing weight after a few years and then it stopped for a while. Now i'm losing weight very fast, a few pounds a month. I'm much too thin and look underweight. I don't have any other symptoms to cause the weight loss. I eat normally and have a very appetite. I am a 63 year old woman.l How common is it to lose weight with PD?
I take Levadopa.
