Patient Webinar Series

The Managing Your Life in Motion Patient Webinar Series Continues on May 20th, 2009 at 8:00 pm EDT!

Am I Really Ready to Cope with Cervical Dystonia?

You could no longer ignore your symptoms or believe that they were caused by another condition. So, you made an appointment with your doctor, who told you that you have cervical dystonia, also known as spasmodic torticollis.

Do you have all the information and tools necessary to cope with this diagnosis? Do you know which tools you need? Are you ready to use these tools today? Are you really ready to cope?

Join WE MOVE and a panel of experts for an hour-long, live web event. Watch the web presentation, and listen to the audio while the panel members talk about readiness to cope with cervical dystonia. Register now and submit your questions so that panel members can answer them during the webinar. Also, don't miss the "Readiness to Cope" survey that will be posted at wemove.org before the webinar.
