The Parkinson's Piedmont Support Group consists of individuals who are bound together by a relationship
to the terrible disease of Parkinson's -- whether personally suffering or with a loved one who has been
diagnosed with the disease.


We meet together to share experiences and information and learn new things about
the disease and the many ways that exist to make life better for those affected.


We also have a sub-group that is dedicated to the Caregivers (aka Care-Partners) and
provides assistance to them as they take on the ever increasing burden of care for
their loved ones.


The links shown on the grey buttons above will take you to various parts of this site where there is considerably
more indepth information about the group.

If you or a loved one is suffering with Parkinson's and you feel the need to reach out
for help, we encourage you to come to one of our monthly meetings and learn about
ways you might be able to ease the burden on yourself and others.


There is no cost or obligation to joining our group. Come if and when you can.

We hope to see you soon.

 

Just a Little Bit of History
James Parkinson  (11 April 1755 – 21 December 1824) was an English surgeon, apothecary, geologist, palaeontologist and political activist. He is best known for his 1817 work An Essay on the Shaking Palsy, in which he was the first to describe "paralysis agitans", a condition that would later be renamed Parkinson's Disease by Jean-Martin Charcot who was also the first to suggest the use of the term “Parkinson's disease” rejecting the earlier designation of paralysis agitans or shaking palsy, because he recognized that Parkinson's disease patients are not markedly weak and do not necessarily have tremor. There are no known photographs of Dr. Parkinson as he died before photography was invented.
