Product Description

Product Description

A complete guide to Parkinson's from two people with the disease who cofounded a national support and advocacy organization.

In Living Well with Parkinson's Disease, Gretchen Garie and Michael J. Church, a couple who both have Parkinson's and live daily with the effects of the disease, thoroughly discuss diagnosis, treatment options, and the emotional consequences of this difficult illness. With a conversational, pragmatic, and personal tone, they offer advice on such topics as:

  • how Parkinson's disease affects relationships
  • the role of diet, supplements, and rest and relaxation
  • strategies for navigating professional life and the maze of the health-care system
  • handling everyday challenges such as buttoning a shirt or rolling over in bed
  • and more!

Compassionate and inspiring, Living Well with Parkinson's Disease offers knowledge and wisdom from those who understand the challenges of dealing with Parkinson's every day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, Nov 16 2011
This review is from: Living Well With Parkinson's Disease: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You....That You Need to Know (Paperback)
This book is filled with up-lifting (if that's possible to say about this disease), positive and useful information. A really worthwhile book to have on hand.

If you have parkinson's, as I do, or if someone in your life does, than this is a must read. It is full of information for the sufferer, but its most important contribution is in helping both victims of the decease and those who suffer nearby understand what is happening. It is wonderful to have people close to you read this book. It aides in how to continue life on this wonderful planet. I recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Parkinson's Cliff Notes, Aug 15 2008
By Marianne Curran - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Living Well With Parkinson's Disease: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You....That You Need to Know (Paperback)
Even though we are not finished reading this book, my husband (who has Parkinson's) and I are finally getting answers to all our questions. The authors write in an easy-to-understand format and do not hold anything back (unlike some doctors). This is an excellent resource for anyone who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's!! It's also a big help to the caregiver!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Living Well With Parkinsons's Disease, Aug 20 2009
By Jocelyn Wolfe "Josh" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Living Well With Parkinson's Disease: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You....That You Need to Know (Paperback)
I bought this book for my group - The Lakeway Area Parkinsons Support Group. I have several in our group already reading the book and passing it around. Doctors dont tell you about the disease and sometimes learning from those who have it and have experienced it is more informative. Sometimes science leaves you in the dark.
