Early onset events or meetups?

[Tan22]

Does anyone know a group or an event where people with early onset can meet other people with early onset? Sometimes I feel like it would be great To socialize with certain like-minded people.

Where are you located ? Karen

Pardon my ignorance. Does early onset mean early stages of PD, or does it mean PD at an early age?

[wifeofparky in reply to pvw2]

No problem -early age onset. Some people have been diagnosed in their 20's.

Diagnosed before age 50.

if you go to Parkinson.org you can see if there are any support groups near you. I am in Western NY and we have a Young Onset group that meets monthly

I would be going to my first such meeting next month, if I remember. I'm in Scotland.
