Publisher's Synopsis
Simply Parkinson's will give you clear and concise information if you are affected by Parkinson's Disease (PD). The author and illustrator, John Duncan, suffers from PD himself and explains it with understanding, drawing on his own experience and knowledge. His helpful description of the various stages, symptoms and treatment of the disease doesn't shy away from the challenges of the illness, but also offers coping mechanisms and light touches of humour, including his witty and poignant illustrations. PD is a complex neurological condition which impacts on the lives of many but is understood by very few. This book helps to make a difficult and distressing illness easier to comprehend, and offers comfort and advice from someone who truly undetrstands what sufferers and their loved ones are experiencing. John is a former banker, public relations director, freelance journalist, broadcaster and commentator, and the author of Cricket Wonderful Cricket and How to Manage your Bank Manager.
