My wife, Janet, takes between 1 and 5 injections of 0.4mL of Apokyn per day with no side affects and no dietary restrictions. She's been taking it for 3+ years. Diagnosed 10 years ago but symptoms for 4 years before that. Gary On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 10:43 PM, John <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > We are going to a new neurologist/MD Specialist.
