Product Description |
Parkinson’s disease is a chronic and progressive disease which can cause life-changing symptoms, including tremors, balance problems, and rigidity of limbs. Derived from Ask the Doctor, a website column written by the authors for the National Parkinson Foundation, this book explores frequently asked questions about the disease. It offers detailed answers to the most common questions, including the role of heredity in Parkinson’s, its symptoms and diagnosis, the effectiveness of drugs and other treatments, whether the disease’s progression can be slowed, the future of stem cell treatment in the fight against Parkinson’s disease, and many others. Written in plain, easy-to-understand language, it arms readers whether already living with Parkinson’s disease, newly diagnosed, or caring for a loved one with the knowledge they need to better understand and manage the disease. |

tommy lampini asked:
My grandfather (father’s father) died of Parkinson’s Disease in his 70’s. My father died at 71 from cancer so I don’t know if he had PD. My question is, what are my chances of getting PD? Is there any known figures as to how frequently it is genetically passed on?

You'll cry & laugh--a Horse Whisperer tragedy, in her body.
|
| Review Date: August 24, 1998 |
| Reviewer: , |
| An amazing woman fights the little and big things that are no longer familiar. This disease, this invader, is slowing crashing her body. All she has left is spirit and persistence, but these are powerful. Joan's writing is tight and moving. It takes you along with her from the top of success in professional modeling. From anger. Through realization and fear. Through lovers and pain, and to rest of her life. The reader will come away a little smarter, a lot braver, and a little less a victim in their own life. |
An enjoyable informative human interest writing.

| Fighting the challanges of Parkinson's Disease, sometimes winning, sometimes losing; along with general living experiences made this book an informative and enjoyable read for me. However, it ended too soon. Did she have the surgery and what were the results? |
Flying Lessons-Parkinsons Disease

| Review Date: December 24, 1999 |
| Reviewer: Maureen M. Horansky, Pinehurst NC USA |
| I found this book to be inspiring for anyone suffering from Parkinsons. Joan Grady-Fitchett the author has done an excellent job of relating to the reader the gamut of emotions involved in the diagnosis of Parkinsons. Her strong mental attitude and determination should inspire others to do the same.The book also gives important information on doctors to contact and the success and failure of her medications and treatments. |

Product Description |
| Nearly one million Americans, including Michael J. Fox and Muhammad Ali, suffer from Parkinson's Disease. Now, a leader in the fight against Parkinson's, Dr. J. Eric Ahlskog of the Mayo Clinic, has written the definitive guide for patients and their families. Dr. Alhskog offers a crystal-clear, nuts-and-bolts approach to the treatment of PD, distilled from over twenty years of experience as a clinician and researcher. His goal is to educate the patient so that they can better team with their doctor to do battle with the disease, streamlining the decision-making process and enhancing their treatment. To do this, Dr. Ahlskog offers a gold mine of information: How do I know if I have PD? What kinds of tests can I take? What medications slow the progress of the disease? What if medications don't help my tremor? What kinds of movement problems may develop later? How can I cope with insomnia and daytime sleepiness, dizziness and depression, memory problems, paranoia, and delusions? Indeed, the book covers virtually every topic related to Parkinson's, from sexual impotence and skin rashes, to the role of nutrition, exercise, and physical therapy. In addition, Dr. Ahlskog discusses brain surgery (though he urges that patients only consider this as a last resort) and such experimental therapies as stem cell transplantation and gene therapy. There are also lists of support and advocacy groups and Internet sites that focus on Parkinson's. The ultimate guide to symptoms and treatment, this superb book is the first place patients should turn for reliable, easy-to-grasp information on Parkinson's disease. |

My Mom is taking this book to the doctor for discussion points
|
| Review Date: December 30, 2005 |
| Reviewer: Meg F, USA |
This book recommends using it to help discuss with your doctor the PD medications, which is exactly what my Mom is going to do today. When I saw this book recently it was what my Mom had been wishing for to help her figure out how to help my Dad, who is developing Parkinson's hallucinations and paranoia issues after many years of battling this disease. These are known problems from both the disease, as well as the medications to treat the illness. The book gave me renewed hope and optimism for helping my Dad be more himself again. Adjustments of the various prescribed medications can make a difference in life quality by balancing medication negative side effects with their benefits. My Mom is taking my Dad to the doctor today to discuss his medications and she taking this book with her. It's nice to know she has the Mayo clinic doctor, in essence, to take with her to discuss points with the local doctor.
