Parkinson Meeting Room
Welcome To Your Site PDF Print E-mail
Written by Administrator   

This site is to help people living with Parkinson's with knowledge and support provided by other people who have PD. Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been dealing with this life altering disease for years, this is ‘the place to come’ to socially network with people who understand just how you may feel. It is a place to learn about Parkinson's disease and a place to come just hang out and give and to get support. It is a place to relax, make friends and speak your mind; post a blog on our streamline Lyften Bloggie - the topic is up to you and whatever you want to discuss. Or go to the Conference/Chat room to join in on live voice chat.

The Parkinson Meeting Room/Chat room has scheduled meetings on Mon through Friday @ 6pm - 11pm (Pacific) The gang all gets together and then we open up the floor to anyone needing support, advice or to just unload after a rough day during our open discussion. Later on if people would like we play music or chat. There are many knowledgeable people in our group who have had PD for 15+ years, who are ready and able to help you understand aspects of this rotten disease.

The Room is open 24/7 to use. Once you become a member and would like to join in Parkinson Meeting Room I will enter your information into the database. If you have already registered at Parkinson Profile.com you can use everything from there. Then just click on where it says "Chat Room" in the "Main Menu". I do not think you will be disappointed since this software is State of the art. Be sure to bring your headset, it is the easiest and best way to go.
