Upcoming Events - Dystonia
Support Group - Southeast Branch
Check the blog for current information! Thanks to Rebecca for keeping the Blog updated! Contact: dothandystoniasupportgroup@gmail.com NEXT MEETING - CHECK THE BLOG LINK ABOVE Southeast Alabama Branch of the Dystonia Support Group Forms! Welcome to the Southeast Alabama Branch of the Dystonia Support Group of Alabama. We say Southeast Alabama, BUT we already have a member from the panhandle of Florida. We are located in the Tri-State area, including Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. We are here for anyone from anywhere! This area has been described as “a Dystonia desert” and we are hoping to change that image. We must thank the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF) and the Dystonia Support Group of Alabama (DSGA) for having faith and trust in our endeavor. First, DSGA changed their name to enable a branch. DMRF gave DSGA and the Southeast Alabama branch their blessings. Who knows, there may be another part of the state that will become interested. We are scheduled to meet the second Saturday of each month, but are subject to change. We meet at Covenant United Methodist Church, 3610 West Main Street, in Dothan, Alabama at 10:30 am, Central Time and are usually finished by 11:30 am, but can stay later. The meetings have averaged 10 in attendance. We hope attendance will increase, especially when we get word out. There are a variety of Dystonia symptoms in our group. The Support Group is there for any form of Dystonia and for anyone affected by Dystonia – i.e. patient, family member, friend, etc. We heard from a physician and a pharmaceutical representative willing to speak to us. One of the best advantages is to hear and learn from each other. There are plans to attend meetings in Birmingham periodically, participate in socials, and listen to scheduled speakers.
We, the Dystonia Support Group of Alabama – Southeast Alabama Branch,
are full of enthusiasm. We cannot wait to see where the future leads
us. We can take control of our treatments. Please feel free to contact
us and/or attend a meeting and become a part of the Southeast Alabama
Branch! If you have any questions and/or information, you may contact
us at
