We are delighted to have 3 very knowledgeable experts lined up to address our PD SELF group as guest lecturers for our next 3 sessions!
On
Wednesday, January 16th, Dolly Niles, Executive Director of Quest Research Institute will present "
Managing PD Medications", a snapshot of current medications approved to address PD symptoms; as well as "
Medical Research and You", a guide to the clinical trial process and the benefits to both PWP and care partners through participation in clinical trials.
On
Wednesday, February 20th, Dr. Neepa J Patel, MD a Movement Disorder Specialist with Henry Ford Health System will present "
The PD You Don't See: Non-Motor Symptoms". Often times the non-motor symptoms are "swept under the rug" because they are less obvious to the public, yet they can be the most troublesome symptoms for those affected with PD to deal with.
On
Wednesday, March 20th, Dr. Shana Krstevska, MD a Movement Disorder Specialist with Henry Ford Health System will present "
Complementary and Alternative Therapies for PD". She will discuss non-mainstream therapies such as acupuncture, diet, and neuroprotective foods, supplements, etc. used either to complement traditional therapies or as alternatives to traditional therapies.
We are especially fortunate to not only have these experts available locally but to have them speak to our group (with each speaker allowing time for informal Q/A sessions after their formal presentation). Thank you all for your gift of time and expertise.
