Dear Listfriends, For those in the Los Angeles area who may be interested, I will be speaking at the Parkinson's Disease Patient/Family Workshop in Los Angeles on November 11, following Dr. Clarke Espy, a neurologist who works in the Movement Disorders program at Cedars-Sinai. As always, I would dearly love to meet any cyber-friends from the Listserv!! Also, I will present a seminar to health professionals on medical nutrition therapy for PD on November 10 in L.A. This is an area I have long been struggling to develop, in order to raise awareness of PD among health professionals and to improve health care for people with PD. I have presented this seminar several times now, and I think it has been well received. Keep your fingers and toes crossed!
