Living With Parkinson's

When anyone is diagnosed with a long term, chronic, and debilitating disease such as Parkinson’s disease, it can be devastating. The uncertainty of the future can be extremely difficult to deal with. This book is meant to share one family’s experience with Parkinson’s. This book is not a medical treatise but rather a book filled with suggestions that will help the reader cope with the disease over a long period of time. The most important lesson I learned from having the disease for 26 years is to keep a positive mental attitude. This book also discusses deep brain stimulation surgery and how the surgery helped me. The book covers the whole 26 years my family has lived with Parkinson’s disease.Proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit the Parkinson's Disease Foundation's research programs.
