Greetings Zoomers,

Discussion items for our next meeting:

1) All things Levodopa: When were you diagnosed, when did you start C/L, how much C/L do you take now, for which symptoms, how did you titrate up, do you have side effects, and have you ever reduced your dose?

2) We all wrestle with keeping a positive attitude. What do you do …?

3) What are the most common complaints with you doctor visits, how often does your doctor see you, and what can be done to maximize the value of your doctor visits?

Format: We will begin each meeting by going around an inviting everyone who wants to, to have a couple minutes to say what is on their mind, to suggest agenda items and to see if anyone has an urgent question or need, we will give that priority.

I will attempt to moderate, calling on people to ensure everyone who wants to speak has a chance and to keep the discussion on the agenda. I don’t think we should put time constraints on the agenda because some discussions will be more robust than others. Sometimes agenda items may be carried over to the following week. And, we can always have time at the end for idle chitchat -- which builds community.

Meetings will go one hour.

Saturdays, 7 PM to 8 PM, US Central Standard Time

Sundays, 11 AM to 12 PM, US central Standard Time

The agenda will be the same for both meetings.

Please keep your suggestions and feedback coming in.

I have just sent out an email to everyone I have on the list. If you did not get an email, but would like to be included, send me your email address via private message.

Marc

PS Thank you, thank you Frank Mundo for stepping in and hosting the meetings.

I was probably one of the causes of lack of focus. I apologize to everyone! I think I will like the new format and it will give everyone a chance to participate. thanks Marc
