The long-awaited update to the definitive guide to successfully living
with Parkinson's disease
Known for its upbeat, informative, and inspirational guidance, Living
Well with Parkinson's includes a wealth of up-to-date medical
information for Parkinson's sufferers, who number over 1 million in the
U.S. alone. Combined with the author's poignant personal account of her
own struggles with the disease, this new edition features coverage of
pallidotomy (a new surgical technique), the dramatic implications of
recent genetic research, and new drugs and therapies. The book also
includes tips on dealing with social services and elder law, maintaining
a positive attitude, handling issues with spouses and children, and
finding support groups.
