Marjama-Lyons is a neurologist and former director of the Parkinson Center at the University of Florida; Shomon has no medical degree, but is the author of Living Well with Hyperthyroidism and Living Well with Autoimmune Disease. Together, they begin with “Signs, Symptoms, and Diagnosis,” where they define the disease (called the shaking palsy in the early 19th century by James Parkinson), and run through what is known about its causes, mechanisms, risk factors and early indicators. The authors then carefully walk readers through diagnosis, treatments, care and “Future Directions” for combating the disease. There are first-person patient testimony and sidebar notes from “Dr. Jill” throughout, and appendices of references and state-by-state resources. The tone is calm, capable and reassuring.
“Best book for the average person
Despite my stack of books on parkinson’s,I find myself almost always refering to this book for most of my questions. And answers are usually there in a nondepressing style. What’s more the book goes into alternative methods of treatment as well as the conventional, Many things your doctor won’t take the time to tell you.”, Paul F. Grim
