The following is an invitation to EVERYONE from Ken Williams, Birmingham, AL Chapter:
DYSTONIA SUPPORT GROUP OF ALABAMA (BIRMINGHAM) MEETING
LOCATION: HealthSouth/Lakeshore Rehabilitation Hospital
3800 Ridgeway Drive
Birmingham, Alabama 35209
(this hospital is located off Lakeshore Drive, East of I65)
DATE: Saturday - February 19, 2011 - 10:00 AM

SPEAKER: Dr. Natividad Stover, MD
UAB MOVEMENT DISORDER CENTER
Dr. Natividad Stover obtained her medical degree from Alcala de Henares University in Madrid, Spain. She completed her medical residency at the Medical College of Virginia and Emory University. She also did a fellowship in Movement Disorders at Emory University in Atlanta.
She joined the UAB medical staff in 2003. Her medical interest in neurology is mainly focused on the physiology, physiopathology and treatment of movement disorders as well as development of new medical and surgical therapies. She's an important part of the UAB Movement Disorder Center and follows numerous patients with Dystonia, tremor and other neurologic disorders.
We invite all DSGA members, families & care givers to attend. Each of us have had various experiences with Botox injections that were unsuccessful and we've all learned that success with BOTOX is more ART THAN SCIENCE.
It isn't often that we, dystonia patients, get a chance to sit in the same room for a couple of hours with a "dystonia specialist" and ask any questions we have as well as critique and interact with such a doctor.
Dr. Stover is giving of her Saturday morning to HELP US BETTER UNDERSTAND our problems, fears, and the whys of when we aren't getting the relief we should be receiving.
DON'T MISS THIS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY. PLEASE RESPECT OUR INVITED GUEST SPEAKER BY GIVING HER A LARGE AUDIENCE AND AN OPPORTUNITY A PATIENT RARELY HAS.
WE CAN ONLY RECRUIT THIS CALIBRE OF SPEAKER BY RESPONDING WITH A SIZEABLE AUDIENCE OF PATIENTS, FAMILY MEMBERS & CARE GIVERS.
PLEASE ATTEND! Refreshments will be served and copies of a new book LIVING WITH DYSTONIA should be available for each of you to take home, assuming the publisher fills our order in time.
PLEASE RSVP to the following email address: Klwmgw216@aol.com

Dothan Dystonia Support Group meeting - February 12, 2011
Hello to all!!
I am sure all of you are fine. If you are anything like me, things are just now starting to slow down since Christmas and New Year’s has passed.
We will begin our 2011 Dystonia Support Group Meetings on Saturday, February 12, 2011. After speaking with Covenant United Methodist Church in Dothan, Alabama, we will continue having our meetings there. We will begin a ‘meet and greet’ at 9:30 am and will begin the meeting at 10:00 am. We need to conclude around 11:00 am. This will allow us time to get everything out of the building by about 11:30 am. We will be meeting in the same room – CLC room 116. There will be some activity at the Church, but we will not be affected by any of that. Just find a parking spot and come on in. We will also try to have signs out, too.
We have missed all of you during the Holidays. We have heard from a few during this time, but would LOVE to SEE ALL of you at this meeting. The meeting attendance has been a bit scarce over the last year, so hopefully, we will start 2011 with a HUGE INTEREST AND ATTENDANCE.
Also, there will be invoices mailed out in the next week or so from Dystonia Support Group of Alabama. The invoice is for 2011 membership dues. These are being mailed out of Birmingham, Alabama. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. I will direct them to the correct person for answers.
SEE YOU ON FEBRUARY 12, 2011!!!
