Conference Day 3

The last day we took the subway to the conference.  I went to a PD Movement session but then to the main session. Today’s topics were about Living with Parkinson’s  and managing related problems.   I also spent more time in the vendor fair talking with the folks from Parkinson Foundation in Miami.

In the afternoon, I went to an interesting session on New Therapies and Emerging Therapies and Ron attended Is There a Best Exercise for Parkinson’s.  Of course the bottom line there was any and all exercise is needed.  In the session I attended they discussed why the non-invasive MRI technique for targeting a spot similar to DBS is not working well and also several studies on repurposing other drugs have not been successful.   In the second afternoon session, Ron attended a session on stem cells and I attended one on diet with no significant new information.

We took a taxi back to the hotel and then went to a Chabad house for dinner.
