I keep reading how important support groups are...can you tell me what's supposed to go on in a support group (in person groups and not like the LIST)...I've gone to one at the local hospital (recommended as a good one by the neuro) and stopped going about 3-4 months ago...they have a speaker come and talk with questions and answers...and that's pretty good...although very few in the audience talk as a group....sometimes the questions and answers are allowed during the speech and he doesn't get through with his talk....and everybody leaves and goes wherever they have to go...other times, they can't get a speaker and get a "fill in" which doesn't go over too big as he usually is not versed in PD and his answers are "again, check with your doctor." I even missed a couple of meetings as they gave up sending out flyers.....There's got to be more to an in-person support group than I've been exposed to. Plsl tell lme what is supposed to happen....thx. Joan
