Vascular Parkinsonism Support Group

As I needn't tell my other fellow sufferers, we are a minority within a minority. I have found very little knowledge of how to diagnose and treat our illness and issues in the medical community, with Medicare heading that list. It occurred that, like alcoholics do, we could form a support group - starting with an every so often Skype/Zoom kind of call. If we can first get people to understand how many of us there are, and what our issues are, maybe, then, we could get just the little bit of help most of us need, and all of us deserve. Any interest?

Thanks

  1. Hello , we appreciate your post! Great idea! I hope others will chime in. Have you tried searching your local community or thru your neurologist's office to see if there is a support group that already exists? Here at ParkinsonsDisease.net, we appreciate your enthusiasm. We are a supportive community where we rely on others like you! I hope you get some more responses. In the mean time, I wish you all the best and please keep in touch. All the best, Suzanne Troy, ParkinsonsDisease.net Patient Leader

      In the mean time, I’ll ask our site leaders to see if they have any suggestions on support groups. Suzanne
