The New Parkinson
The New Parkinson's Disease
Handbook: The Essential Guide
For Sufferers And Carers
    Some people with
    Parkinson's Disease find
    they can't speak very
    well while others lose
    the ability to write or
    control a knife and fork.
    Some get treated like
    children while others are
    ignored. Many manage
    their disease for years
    and continue to live
    extremely fruitful and
    fulfilling lives. But
    it's always there, in
    the back of one's mind.
    How long will I keep this
    up? Over 120, 000 people
    in the UK have
    Parkinson's Disease, and
    this figure is rising. It
    can strike very early in
    life, as with the actor
    Michael J. Fox, or much
    later. It is a
    progressive,
    neurological disorder,
    treated mainly with drug
    therapy but also
    alleviated with physical
    therapy and diet.
    Although each person with
    Parkinson's is different,
    and the ability to
    perform movements may
    differ from one day to
    the next, Parkinson's
    has a dramatic effect on
    a person's quality of
    life and also affects
    those around the
    sufferers. This is a
    compassionate and helpful
    guide to the disease and
    its treatments. The good
    news is that Parkinson's
    can be controlled very
    effectively for many
    years with the right
    treatment and care. This
    definitive handbook
    allows you to ask all the
    right questions and to
    understand the disease so
    that the answer to the
    question above is, 'as
    long as possible'.

Learning To Speak Alzheimers: The new approach to living positively with Alzheimers Disease
Learning To Speak Alzheimers:
The New Approach To Living
Positively With Alzheimers
Disease
    Few conditions upon first
    diagnosis strike such
    terror into victims and
    relatives as Alzheimer's
    disease. The dementia
    that is its best-known
    symptom can provoke
    feelings of helplessness
    and despair, coupled
    with fear that the
    patient will inevitably
    suffer loss of dignity
    and self-respect. There
    is hope, however, and
    Joanne Koenig-Coste is
    well qualified to say so.
    For over thirty years she
    has advocated and
    practised a
    communication-based form
    of care. Now she has
    distilled her experience
    into this encouraging and
    supportive book showing
    how, by following a few
    straightforward and
    simple ideas, the
    quality of life of
    sufferers can be
    dramatically improved,
    and their dignity and
    self-respect renewed.
    Habilitation capitalizes
    on the remaining emotions
    and skills of the patient
    and offers chances to
    feel successful by
    reaching past the
    recognized losses,
    ignoring the failures,
    and rejoicing in whatever
    still defines the
    essential humanity of the
    sufferer. Perhaps as
    importantly, it also
    suggests ways that the
    carers can care for
    themselves too. Learning
    to Speak Alzheimer's is a
    practical guide to coping
    with a cruel disease. It
    offers a wealth of
    information,
    understanding and advice,
    but above all it offers
    a message of hope based
    on respect, common sense
    and quiet dignity.

Menstrual And Pre-Menstrual Tension
Menstrual And Pre-Menstrual
Tension
    Research carried out over
    the past decade indicates
    that women are suffering
    more than ever from

    erratic mood swings and
    depression. Advocating
    the holistic approach,

    low-stress diet and
    natural remedies with
    vitamin, mineral and

    overcome the ups and
    downs of the menstrual
    cycle.

Flying Crooked
Flying Crooked
    You never know how you'd
    react if it happened to
    you, and the last thing
    I want is to dictate to
    people. I don't wonder:
    why me? But: why not me?'
    - Elizabeth GabrielThere
    are many books about the
    processes people go
    through when they
    discover they have
    cancer. What makes Flying
    Crooked different is the
    way in which Elizabeth
    Gabriel accepts the
    disease and its
    consequences. She
    continues to enjoy life,
    refuses radiotherapy and
    rejects the idea of
    wearing a prosthesis
    after one of her breasts
    has been removed. The
    choices she makes are in
    sharp contrast to those
    made by her ex-lover
    Simon when he, shortly
    after her operation, is
    diagnosed with prostate
    cancer. Their different
    ways of coping form a
    well-balanced diptych: on
    her part, acceptance and
    the peace that this
    brings, as opposed to,
    on his part, fighting
    and anger at the cost of
    precious energy and
    enjoyment. Flying Crooked
    describes the process of
    a search for balance. The
    open, direct and
    unsentimental manner in
    which Gabriel describes
    her decisions as well as
    her experiences in
    hospital and out of it
    are deeply refreshing.
    And yet this
    autobiographical novel is
    more than an account of
    coping with disease; it
    is an inspirational story
    of love and friendship
    and faith.
