Educational Dinners for Patients Living with Periodic Paralysis

You Are Not Alone: Join Us for an Evening of Community and Support

Living with periodic paralysis can be challenging, but you don’t have to face it alone. The Periodic Paralysis Association and Xeris Pharmaceuticals have teamed up to bring educational, patient-focused dinners to a city near you. We would love to have you join us, and you may bring one guest with you, preferably a caregiver or someone who has supported you on your journey.

There will be no sales pressure, there is nothing to buy. We will start with a patient story, follow that with a brief update on the PPA’s activities, and then we eat and talk! These dinners offer a wonderful opportunity for patients to connect with others who understand what they are going through. Our events are designed to bring the periodic paralysis community together, offering support, friendship, and valuable information about living with this condition.

Who should attend?

These events are for patients living with periodic paralysis who are seeking community and support. Each patient can bring one friend, family member, or caregiver to the dinner.

Why is it important?

Patients in the periodic paralysis community often feel isolated, especially during non-conference years. These dinners offer a chance to see others living with the same condition and share experiences and support.

Why should you attend?

Meet other patients from your area and enjoy a complimentary meal with new friends in a supportive environment. Discover resources and programs designed to support your journey with periodic paralysis.
