A neurologist's opinion of Coping with Parkinson's Disease, Dec 3 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Defending Against the Enemy: Coping with Parkinson's Disease (Paperback)
I am a neurologist who cares for people with Parkinson's disease. Eric Morgan has written a thought-provoking book that educated me and that I would recommend to many of my patients. His observation that coping with the disease requires both optimal medical treatment and optimal self-care is particularly valuable. He realizes that with both of these he can not completely control his illness but can greatly improve the quality of his daily life. My only hesitation in recommending this book to those with Parkinson's disease is that his illness has been a particularly trying one, and many patients with Parkinson's do not experience the complications and tribulations that he describes. I would not want patients with mild Parkinson's to be discouraged by his experiences.

Powerful Chronicle on Coping with Parkinson's Disease, Dec 28 2010
By Marilyn A - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Defending Against the Enemy: Coping with Parkinson's Disease (Paperback)
As a caregiver to someone who has PD, I appreciated Eric Morgan's book; it's well written, personal, frank (surprisingly matter of fact about the myriad trials that he and his wife suffered through--both were diagnosed with PD--and how they managed), nicely organized, and full of helpful advice and explanations about meds and the workings of the brain. Eric Morgan's ambition and high energy are evident even in the face of his difficulties, and his story is full of allusions to work, hospitals, travel, friends, moves, adaptations, disappointments, and breakthroughs. As a scientist, he was very pro-active in learning all he could about the disease (knowledge = power), and I admired his fearless manner and strength in living as well as in telling his story Defending Against the Enemy: Coping With Parkinson's Disease. I don't know if Eric Morgan is still alive, as the book was written in 1997, and his wife passed on before the book was published, but, if he is, I'd be interested to hear how he is doing (must be in his late 80s now). This is a riveting read with parts you'll find yourself returning to.
