Description

Informative, practical and uplifting, this is a book for anyone with Parkinson’s and for those who care for and support them. It contains answers to almost any question you might ask about Parkinson’s, from symptoms and diagnosis to the latest treatments and therapies, as well as the most recent medical research into stem cells and gene therapy.

Drawing on her own experience of Parkinson’s as well as that of others, Ann Andrews offers accessible advice on how to cope with the impact of Parkinson’s on everything from employment, finance and relationships, to exercise, diet and self-care. The resulting combination of the practical and the personal sets this book apart from others on the same topic. Thoroughly researched and perceptively written, this is an empowering resource for anyone needing to adjust their life to Parkinson’s.

Advance Praise

An interesting and informative book as the author... who has Parkinson's disease. She includes her own experiences of living with the long term condition and the experiences of other people with Parkinson's... Ann Andrews has done much research into the pathology of the disease and having experience of it herself, she manages to give quite an in-depth account... A great book with many strengths such as the informative lived accounts from contributors and the exercises Ann recommends to help people with Parkinson's keep fit. As this book is written by someone living with the disease, I think it is a really important book to read as to be patient-centred healthcare professionals, we need to listen to our patients.
