About this listen

A diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is as disorienting as it is devastating. The Complete Guide for People with Parkinson's Disease and Their Loved Ones helps make sense of what comes next and what can be done, not just for those suffering from the disease, but for their family and friends as well. A trained nurse and primary caregiver for her mother, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991, Lianna Marie draws upon more than 20 years of education, research, and direct experience. Written in straightforward and easily accessible language, this essential guide aims to help patients better understand their role in their treatment so that they may continue to lead happy and hopeful lives.

Topics covered include nutrition and exercise, alternative and complementary therapies, medication and treatment, and what caregivers can do to help. Written by an international expert on Parkinson's who has confronted the disease firsthand, The Complete Guide serves as the go-to book for comprehensive, easy-to-understand information for all Parkinson's patients and their loved ones.

This is an American take on the treatment of and living with Parkinson’s. Many life experiences are universal and relatable. The main divergence is that everything there goes through, is led by, the first port of call, etc is through rather expensive medical specialists. Unless you are insured (and even that has limitations) or wealthy then the various scans, tests, medications they are keen on will soon bankrupt you. If you can pay you'll move swiftly through their medical provision. Good narration.

Thank God for the NHS
