Thank you so much! I volunteer at my local library; never thought to inquire there!

Here you can find others who have PD by : Asking at the local library , asking your doctor, looking in the newspaper for local events or meetings, asking friends and neighbors.
In North Louisiana, (Ouachita Parish —- Montoe and West MONROE) we have a support group.
Remember, your doctor can’t give you names of patients but you can ask him to please share your name and number with another PD patient.

You could also look for a PD support group locally. Google "Parkinsons support group" with your state name.
