Hi Patty. I am just checking into the site and see that no one responded to your question. I did a Google search and came up with the following on www.seniornavigator.org site. Not sure if it is still an active group, but worth checking into. Hope you can find a local support group. It is important to be a part of a group and know you are not alone! God bless.

A Parkinson's Support Group will be on the 2nd Saturday at 1:30pm of each month in Chesapeake. At the Monthly Support Group you can come to make friends with other people with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and share your successes and frustrations in coping with PD. Contact Kendra Lapointe at (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators) or (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators) for questions.
