The response to our last chat on the “off-time” management of Parkinson’s disease (PD) was overwhelming, so WE MOVE is offering another opportunity to chat with the expert. This event will be fully moderated, which means that only the questions from the audience and the answers from the expert will be visible in the chat window. If you were unable to participate in last month’s chat, please join us on October 27, 2004, at 7:00 PM EDT. Participants are invited to discuss their experiences with "off time" and ask questions of the expert, Mark Stacy, MD. Dr. Stacy is Medical Director of the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorder Center at Duke University Medical Center. Topics to be covered include: what "off-time" is exactly; how people living with PD identify "wearing off" and describe it to their doctors; and what treatment options are available for "off-time" management.
