For this month’s meetup, we were pleased to welcome Dr. Mark Mapstone as a special guest. Dr. Mapstone is a professor of neurology at UC Irvine and the chief of neuropsychology. He is currently researching new ways to screen for neurodegenerative diseases before symptoms arise. He joined us to help us understand Parkinson’s better and to help us focus on our own emotional and spiritual health. 

As a reminder, Dr. Mark Mapstone will be back for round 2 in September. We look forward to more time with him.

If you haven’t already signed up to attend our sessions live, you can do so today.

Introduction and Excuse me!

Introduction and Excuse me!

Pardon me, while I get this social media enterprise working. It has taken me 12 months to get this far with this editorial labyrinth. My former pre Parkinson’s self would have had this whipped up in a week or two, reality changes ability, however I won’t let it kill...

They Call me Shuffles

They Call me Shuffles
