Neurologist Ordered GoCovri. Med Not Covered By Insurance So Asked If Switching To Immediate Release Was Option. Anyone Else Ran Into This

I’m very satisfied with him. He also does research.
Congratulations on finding a MD neurologist. I hope your appointment is not too far out.

I will be seeing my new neurologist middle of November and maybe I will learn more about my stage and form of Parkinsonism then. God Bless and let’s keep in touch or maybe even meet for lunch sometime!
