Thank you guys, this was marvellous. Connie looking forward to the Caregiver Session in the Parkinson Conference in Auckland New Zealand. Once again thank you all for the knowledge shared. Christine

Thank you for elaborating on what makes a neurologist specialist in movement disorders & Parkinsons. This also helps me to know what I'm up against trying to find a way to get to one. ❤

Glad you found this valuable! It's also worth considering that it is possible for an experienced general neurologist to be as knowledgeable as a movement disorder specialist (MDS) about treating Parkinson's. For some people, a general neurologist may be as helpful or even more helpful than an MDS, especially if appointments with a general neurologist who is very familiar with Parkinson's are easier to access.

hello from Auckland New Zealand. Thank you. The discussion is 'Dignity Therapy' for me as a care partner.

[@mieliav]

You're welcome! We are grateful for Jori; our other Care Partner Meetup guests; and, of course, our panelists, too!

I was not the primary care partner for my mother when she had Parkinson's nor was I the primary care partner for my brother when he had Parkinson's but I am the primary care partner for my wife who was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. That being said I wish I had a resource like this years ago but am grateful I have it now. Thanks for all you do! Great program!
