MedHelp Member's Question

Media To Shed Some Light on Parkinson's and Dystonia

by ILADVOCATE, Mar 27, 2009 07:01PM

Tags: Parkinson's Disease, dystonia

I thought this might be of use to people.
"The Oprah Show will focus on dystonia and Parkinson's Disease
during her Tuesday, March 31st show!
Please plan on joining Oprah and Dr. Oz as they talk with actor, Michael J. Fox and a dystonia patient about life with these movement disorders.
Spread the word that Oprah is doing a show on dystonia."
I have dystonia (diagnosed after the fact) and some people here have Parkinson's so I thought it might be of help. I cut and pasted this from a dystonia group. I know Michael J. Fox has been a great spokesperson for new research in Parkinson's.
