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

TOPIC:             "THE ART OF THE INJECTION"

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.
