Parkinson's Disease: A Complete Guide for Patients and Families (A Johns Hopkins Press Health Book)

Just what I needed! I had planned to read and pass along to my brothers. I learned so much from it, I'm going to get them their own copy.

It took two times for Amazon to get me the book I ordered in "LARGE PRINT". I'm not sure what the problem was. I ended up buying a used book. The book was in new condition. Just frustrating to receive wrong items.

I have Parkinson's, and this is the most comprehensive, up-to-date book on the subject I've seen. If you are buying one book on this topic, this is the book to get.

If you have PD or care for someone or know someone with it you will find this book helpful in any of those situations. I learned many things from this book. Including that some things my husband, who has early onset PD, was going through that turned out were symptoms and not just random events. I thank those that wrote this for helping me care for him and being informed. Also, they section on young onset PD really helped because i was beginning to feel he had intermediate PD when really it was signs and symptoms from his Y.O.P.D. It lifted a heavy weight knowing he wasn't that far into the disease (intermediate stage). I was able to rely many things to his nuerologist that he was experiencing based upon my reading so he can get better care. Thank you.

EXCELLENT resource book !!! I am back ordering a second copy for our family to share around.... gives excellent, detailed information on both the physical side of the disease and the side-effects of the medications... easy read... very comprehensive... I recommend HIGHLY !!
