NeuroJewology: A Tale of Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's & Muscular Dystrophy in South Florida

Glass Half Full with Leslie Krongold, Ed.D.

Two friends from grade school share their stories of a diagnosis of a neurological condition. Marc has Multiple Sclerosis and Steve has Parkinson's disease. I have a form of muscular dystrophy called myotonic dystrophy. It's purely coincidental we all went to the same synagogue; there is no correlation between being Jewish and having a neurological condition.

Both Marc and Steve maintain positive attitudes. Marc has educated himself thoroughly about MS. Steve has tried different exercise programs customized for people with Parkinson's and now facilitates a support group.
