Voices, Choices, Resources and Treatment Barbara Blake-Kreb Linda Herman
Once considered a disease of the elderly, studies now show that an estimated 15% of all Parkinson's Disease (PD) sufferers are diagnosed under the age of 50. In this book the physical, emotional, and social struggles faced by young people with Parkinson's is discussed, as well as the roads to self-empowerment that can be found through the support and resources of the PD global community. Topics include:
· the complex array of Parkinson's symptoms and the side effects of medications
· current surgery options-described by patients who have undergone these procedures
· the benefits of patients developing a strong knowledge base about their disease |
