anyone going to the World Parkinson Disease conference this year?

[quirkyme]

Is anyone attending the World PD conference this year? It's in Portland OR this year. (Montreal, Canada, last year). Where are you coming from?

[Lindylanka]

It's not this year, it is in 2016. Google World Parkinson Congress 2016 for more info.

thanks for the correction.

Yes, John and I will be going. We are travelling from the UK and making a holiday of it, so any good ideas for sightseeing and excursions will be gratefully received.

The Fourth WPC will be in Portland, OR Sept 20-23, 2016. Please note the year. It happens every fourth year, not annually.

not sure how to change my original post but have noted my error within the post. I regret the error, of course.

[Hikoi in reply to quirkyme]

No regrets, good prior publicity! Here is the website which is frequently updated and there is a facebook page too.

There is a scientific update by webcast coming soon. Looks really interesting.

thanks Hikoi.

Why don't you post this info as a separate update to mine?

[soup in reply to quirkyme]

A good idea. Get stuck in Hikoi. Drum up the customers.

2016 is the next world conference.

[quirkyme in reply to pingopenguin]

yes, I need to delete this and start again. It's misinformation at this point.

Had hysterectomy at age 43 after 2 children. Diagnosed PD at age 82, after breaking hip 4 years earlier (and good recovery. )

Had no recognizable symptoms of PD at all until waking from fall at age 82.

[quirkyme]

as people get older they can get PD type symptoms and

not actually have it (fully). Anyway, it probably doesn't make

much difference. I don't think I've heard of anyone

who woke up from a fall with PD symptoms.

Good luck.

By the way the World PD Conference is in 2016/
