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.

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.
