Parkinson's Stories

A delightful collection of Parkinson’s stories from first diagnosis to brain surgery and creative cures. Contributions from South Africa, Canada, the Netherlands, America, and many parts of the UK inform, entertain, and enlighten readers about this universal ailment. In his Foreword, Professor Miratul Muqit speaks of the need for the medical profession to hear the responses and listen to the concerns of Parkinson’s sufferers.  This book is essential for all newly diagnosed cases. It explains how we adapt to our illness. ‘I have learned and continue to learn that each person is vital for determining treatment options to maximise response and quality of life. We also know a great deal more about the underlying biology that explains why brain cells in Parkinson’s may succumb with a promise of new treatments that could slow the disease that has to date remained elusive.’- Professor Miratul Muqit, Dundee University
