Many Northern and Central California Parkinson’s Disease (PD) support groups have a guest speaker or program planned for November 2017. Here’s what’s happening at a support group near you…
David Spiegel, MD, will discuss “Stress, Health and Hypnosis” at the Stroke Support Group on November 1, from 6:00-7:00pm at the Stanford Neuroscience Health Center, 213 Quarry Road, Wellness Room 1511, Palo Alto 94304. Those caring for someone with Parkinson’s are also encouraged to attend to learn more about dealing with stress, health issues and the use of hypnosis. This event is free, but advance registration is required. Call 650.721.8500 to learn more, and to register.
Brain-machine interfaces now treat neurological disease and change the way people with paralysis interact with the world. Improving those devices depends on getting better at translating the language of the brain.
Excerpt: “There are more of us than you’d think juggling the condition with careers, young families, travel aspirations.”
Our thoughts are with the Parkinson’s community in Santa Rosa, Napa, and surrounding areas. We already know of two homes lost but we hope there’s no loss of life or serious injury in our community. Keep us posted.
