A Parkinson's Primer: An Indispensable Guide to Parkinson's Disease for Patients and Their Families
"John Vine says he wrote this book for people who have been newly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Well, I was diagnosed 24 years ago, and I still learned something new on every page."--Michael Kinsley, Vanity Fair columnist and author of Old Age: A Beginner's GuideHere is the book that John Vine and his wife, Joanne, wish they could have consulted when John was first diagnosed with Parkinson's disease--a nontechnical, personal guide written from the patient's perspective. Relying on his experiences over the past 12 years, John writes knowledgeably about all aspects of the disease. John also interviewed other Parkinson's patients and their partners, whose stories and advice he includes throughout the book."I wish we'd had John Vine's book when my brother-in-law was diagnosed. The book is highly informative, unflinchingly honest, and reassuringly optimistic. It's just what the doctor should have ordered."--Cokie Roberts, best-selling author and political commentator on ABC News and NPR"John Vine details, in a compelling and accessible way, his experience with Parkinson's disease. His book is an extraordinary guide to living successfully with Parkinson's, and a must read for all who want to better understand the condition. Although diagnosed with Parkinson's, my father lived an active and productive life until his death at age 94. As the book makes clear, while each patient's journey is unique, common approaches are indispensable in treating the symptoms of the disease."--Eric H. Holder, Jr. served as the 82nd Attorney General of the United States from 2009 to 2015"John Vine has written the best primer I've ever read for newly diagnosed Parkinson's patients and their families. It helps them cope with the shock of diagnosis, gives them (jargon-free) the scientific basics they need to know, describes the symptoms they may experience (making clear that every case is different) and catalogs the resources available to navigate living with Parkinson's. John humanizes the book by describing his own experience and that of 22 other patients and their partners. I'd urge every neurologist to have copies of Vine's primer on hand to help new PD on their journey forward."--Morton Kondracke, author of Saving Milly: Love, Politics and Parkinson's Disease and a member of the Founders' Council of the Michael J. Fox Foundation"My husband has PD, and I devoured this book. It's wise, wonderfully readable, and, above all, helpful. Since John Vine has PD, he speaks with gre
