For the past 14 years an extremely close friend of mine has had many unexplainable symptoms (lack of smell, muscle cramping, choking, extreme abdominal pain with nausea after eating fiber or fat-rich foods, etc.) This November 2015 I noticed a resting tremor in the arm on his left side. This was the first time I suspected his issues were related to one disease which might be Parkinson's Disease (PD). However, I still dismissed this possibility because tremors can be related to other medical issues (one of which is benign) and he has only had this tremor three times. Periodically over the past several months I noticed him walking slower, a frozen facial expression, and his right hand curled in front of him as if he had a stroke. On Dec 5, 2015 he really exhibited the slow walking, frozen face, and curled hand and he took forever to dress that morning. Later that evening I became certain (in my opinion) that he has PD due to his telling me about a change in his handwriting which I did not witness. Unfortunately, he refuses to go to the doctor or seek medical help from a neurologist even when I told him I believe he has PD. On extremely rare occasions he'll go to see a particular specialist for whatever ailment is almost killing him at the moment. As a result, since December 2015 I've completely immersed myself in learning about PD with some cursory investigation of illnesses that exhibit Parkinson-like symptoms because I wanted to be sure I was on the right track.Besides searching the Internet for information, I purchased seven (7) books on Parkinson's Disease (PD) of which this book is one. My review is written from the perspective of someone who does not have PD but wants to learn about what the signs of PD are, what a person's life will be like, what are their challenges, what they should do about it, what is their life expectancy, etc. This book is in the list below. I've listed the books in the order of value to me and not in the order that I read them. I also put the copyright date of each book in parenthesis as well as my star ranking based on its usefulness to me and a short few sentences of what the book was about. If I had PD myself, I would rank them in a different order. I posted the same review to each one of these seven (7) books. At the end, I wrote a summary of what I think about PD and listed seven (7) other books I may one day buy and read.Parkinson's Disease For Dummies (c 2007) (4.5 stars) - Although this book does not have the latest developments or information on PD or Lewy Body disease (dementia included), it was invaluable in helping me understand what PD is in the most simplest terms. It helped me understand what to look for in a person with PD and what challenges they face. Since we are in 2016, the information on treatment is somewhat outdated. This book is great for someone who suspects they have PD or just got diagnosed because it clarifies symptoms in easy-to-understand language. It's a great resource for the newly diagnosed PD patient and those preparing for their first appointment. It also has information on Young Onset Parkinson's Disease (YOPD) and a chapter (sections of which I skipped over) full of exercises for the PD patient.What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About(TM): Parkinson's Disease: A Holistic Program for Optimal Wellness (c Feb 2003) (4 stars) - This is like a textbook on Parkinson's disease with case studies from actual patients and information on alternative therapies such as acupuncture. This book appears to outline all the symptoms of Parkinson’s, including ones not in other books such as Seborrheic dermatitis and stuttering (which is also in Wilson's disease). This book discusses everything from A-Z, like complementary medicine (homeopathy, acupuncture, etc.), issues for caregivers, etc. Case studies are interspersed throughout the text to give the reader a general idea of a PD person's experiences. It even mentions Mucuna pruriens which is a bean sold in supplement form and has high levels of levodopa that could be of help to PD patients--of course, only take this with supervision of your doctor.A Caregiver's Guide to Lewy Body Dementia (c 2011) (5 stars) - this broadened my horizons about PD because it described the symptoms related to two very similar diseases and was co-written by someone whose spouse had dementia with Lewy bodies. PD is a Lewy Body disease where abnormal proteins show up on the part of the brain that controls movement. However, it is closely associated with Lewy Body Dementia that has abnormal proteins on the cognition part of the brain. Both diseases have many of the same symptoms and depending on which symptoms appear first that determines what the disease is called. It is either dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) or Parkinson's Disease with Dementia (PDD). The diagnosis is critical because medications for one disease can have adverse effects on those with the other disease or on those with Alzheimer's. Some DLB patients are misdiagnosed with Alzheimer's and those medicines are contraindicated in most cases for them. It was this book that helped me realize the symptoms I was seeing was the same with my friend and also easily explained what a caregiver needs to do.Living Well with Parkinson's (second edition) (c 1991, 2005) (5 stars) - This book was originally written by a woman who had Parkinson's Disease but who died on November 25, 1998 from a heart attack unrelated to PD. It was revised in 2005. This book is phenomenal in my opinion because it supplied me with an excellent narrative of what it was like to live with Parkinson's and how to make that life worth living. The chapter on "Medications and Therapies" provides a list of diseases that can resemble PD. The chapter on "Is There Life With Parkinson's" is a positive narrative on how the author lived very well with the disease.Parkinson's Humor - Funny Stories about My Life with Parkinson's Disease (c2012) (4 stars) - is a lighthearted book written by someone who has PD. The book, although not very funny to me, educated me on what day-to-day life is like to live with PD. For instance, Beverly mentioned how sometimes she felt starched when describing the rigidity PD patients experienced. Except for Living Well with Parkinson's, this book was the only other uplifting book. All the others books were way too serious and sobering. At a time when I am new in trying to understand PD and PDD, reading a text like this or the one above was critical especially since I was overdosing on the subject. This book provided the mental break I needed, was slightly educational, and an extremely easy read.Parkinson's Disease: The Complete Guide for Patients and Caregivers (c 1993) (3 stars) - this book is similar to What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About(TM): Parkinson's Disease: A Holistic Program for Optimal Wellness but it's 10 years earlier so the information is dated. For example in one chapter on how to cope with Parkinson’s there's a suggestion to use a Dictaphone if you can't write. It has a short first section on symptoms of the disease and then goes into history, treatment, etc. There are three sections, however, that I found worthwhile. The Chapter on "The A to Z Guide to Symptoms and Side Effects," "Planning Your Financial Future," and "Diseases That May Resemble Parkinson's Disease" which is in the Appendix II are invaluable. One thing I did not like about this book is that it was very negative describing more than once about the disabling effects of PD and how you have get your affairs in order, etc. Except for the three worthwhile chapters, I feel I did not need to purchase this book to get the information I was looking for.Brain Storms: The Race to Unlock the Mysteries of Parkinson's Disease (c 2015) (4 stars) - the author is actually a PD patient and this book covers the most recent research on PD. It was not as helpful to me because it talked more about the latest developments in the search for a cure as well a brief glimpse at tests and drugs for PD patients. If I were a person with PD, then this book would probably be second in value in my list. For me, I could have done without purchasing this book.In summary, what I discovered is that a PD patient does not die from their disease and they can have a normal life expectancy. PD is a slowly progressive disease, that is not usually hereditary, and which affects each patient differently. Not all PD patients have visible tremors. The disease definitely changes the patient's life and the lives of those closest to them but it sometimes does this for the better because the patients re-evaluate their lives and how they want to spend their time. For many, the disease will be an inconvenience that the patients and caregivers can learn to live with. There are no tests that can definitely determine someone has PD while the person is alive. A definitive diagnosis can only be made with post-mortem brain analysis. PD is determined via a process of elimination of testing for other similar diseases, observing arm muscle reactions during a test a doctor may try, and observing how the symptoms respond to Carbidopa / Levodopa drugs. It is critical that patients seek help immediately and partner with a doctor (or several doctors such as physical therapists, speech therapists, etc.) to seek a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan. At the early stages of PD, no drug therapy may be involved; it might me more of a wait and see approach. The positive attitude of the patient along with eating right, exercising, partnering with a healthcare team, and having a good support network provides the best outcome for the patient to have a fruitful life with only some limitations and modifications.Please understand that no one book provided all the information I needed or wanted. I discovered information has to come from several sources, including the Internet and PD support groups. For instance, one PD symptom not mentioned in any of these books is gastroparesis. I found that one by searching the Internet with the word Parkinson's and abdominal cramping with nausea and the likes. I did these searches years ago, but at that time I did not suspect PD so Parkinson’s was not part of the search criteria. I do hope my friend will seek the help of a neurologist, detail all his symptoms, and let me tell the neurologist what I have been seeing. Could I be wrong about believing that my friend has PD. Absolutely, I could be wrong; even doctors misdiagnose patients. However, after reviewing Internet sources for the other diseases mentioned in these books, the only other diseases that come close with his symptoms are a brain tumor or Wilson's disease. However, with Wilson's disease his eye doctor would have noticed the copper ring (known as Kayser-Fleischer Ring) around his cornea during his eye exam.Although I am on PD overload, below are seven (7) other books (not listed in any particular order) that I might purchase in the future to learn more. The first one is on a disease with very close PD symptoms and the other six are on PD or a person’s experience with PD.1. Wilson's Disease for the Patient and Family: A Patient's Guide to Wilson's Disease and Frequently Asked Questions about Copper2. The Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center 100 Questions & Answers About Parkinson Disease (100 Questions & Answers)3. A Life Shaken: My Encounter with Parkinson's Disease4. Lucky Man: A Memoir5. Parkinson's Disease: A Complete Guide for Patients and Families (A Johns Hopkins Press Health Book)6. Parkinson's Disease and the Family: A New Guide (The Harvard University Press Family Health Guides)7. Eat Well, Stay Well With Parkinson's disease
My grandfather was recently diagnosed with LBD. I have just begun reading this book, but it has already provided me with so much knowledge about the journey he is going through. I want to do everything I can to help ensure he has a good quality of life as his cognition and motor skills deteriorate from this awful disease - this book gives me confidence that I will have knowledge to be his best advocate. I hope more books on this topic become available as more research is done. Thank you to the authors for thinking of the caregivers and writing this book for us!
This book is informative and includes snippets of real experiences with those having this type of dementia. I liked reading the experiences. I especially liked the chapter on behavior management. Thank you for sharing your experiences and writing this type of book. I appreciate all the effort placed in researching and compiling this data. I read the book in a day and feel better prepared for how we will care for our family member and what to expect going forward.
I only wish I had this book prior to the last 3 months of my mom's life. This disease is so devastating, yet most people don't know about it. It helped me see what had been happening to my mom over the years. It would have saved me so many tears! I am grateful that I was told about this book. It helped me understand what was happening to mom, and helped me prepare. The experiences of these two wonderful authors were 'my' experiences. If your loved one has been diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia, please get this book! Unlike my sister, who would not read up on this disease or accept it, this book helped me with reality and I didn't have 'false' hopes. Understood there would be good days (possibly even a few good weeks), but to be prepared that "Lewy", as referred to in the book, would return. I was able to understand what happened to my wonderful, happy, strong mom. When the day finally came for me to tell her to please 'rest' and let go, she did. She peacefully fell asleep still knowing how very much I loved her.
My mother has had LBD for 3 years. I live several hundred miles away and my sisters bear the brunt of her care. Due to other circumstances, I spent 3 weeks taking care of her in May. I bought this book (Kindle edition) and nothing else I had read about LBD even came close to helping me as much as this book did.I recommended it to both of my sisters, who read it after I left. They have both told me since that they learned more from this book that they have from any other source, including the neurologist.I think that the writing style of taking short, real-life issues and then explaining the reasons for the behavior made this book more readable but also helps the reader remember and understand the explanations.I would recommend this book to anyone who has a family member with LBD, even if you aren't the primary care giver.
Here's the thing, my wife suffered with LBD for 9 years before passing away at age 60 so I bought this book long after she died to see if it would be something that I could recommend to others who might have to endure what my family endured. It's fine but it isn't as blunt or as direct as I wished that it would be. People need to be given a REALISTIC version of caring for someone who is slowly, progressively and irreversibly losing themselves. This book is a little too optimistic regarding how this disease affects the loved one and the primary caregivers.
My Dad has LBD. I highly recommend this book for any family member of an LBD patient. It is so helpful and explains conditions and terms in a very easy to understand format. We wish we would have had this book earlier in his diagnosis. We have asked the staff and caregivers at his assisted living to read it.
