Parkinson’s Disease meetings set

Parkinson’s Disease monthly meetings are the first Tuesday from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Mid-Cities Church, Highway 191 and County Road 1275.

The PD monthly meetings bring information about research, care, and courage to deal with PD. The support families receive from being together is invaluable.

More than 1,000 families in the Midland-Odessa area are fighting Parkinson’s Disease. A news release said the disease takes away your life and does not kill you. Many people will carry on the fight for 20 or more years.

When a person realizes they have lost their sense of taste and/or smell, they have become part of the group of individuals 93% of whom will eventually be diagnosed with Parkinson’s.
