It does a great job of explaining management of PD at the most basic and understandable level and should be read by patients, GPs, hospital staff, etc. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3228622/ Cheaper, Simpler, and Better: Tips for Treating Seniors With Parkinson Disease __________________ Born in 1953, 1st symptoms and misdiagnosed as essential tremor in 1992.
