Michael J. Church

A complete guide to Parkinson’s from two people with the disease who cofounded a national support and advocacy organization.

In Living Well with Parkinson’s Disease, Gretchen Garie and Michael J. Church, a couple who both have Parkinson’s and live daily with the effects of the disease, thoroughly discuss diagnosis, treatment options, and the emotional consequences of this difficult illness. With a conversational, pragmatic, and personal tone, they offer advice on such topics as: • How Parkinson’s disease affects relationships
 • The role of diet, supplements, and rest and relaxation
 • Strategies for navigating professional life and the maze of the health-care system
 • Handling everyday challenges such as buttoning a shirt or rolling over in bed
 • And more!

Compassionate and inspiring, Living Well with Parkinson’s Disease offers knowledge and wisdom from those who understand the challenges of dealing with Parkinson’s every day.

“[Gretchen and Michael’s] firsthand knowledge as patients, coupled with their years of experience as experts and advocates, allow them to offer a unique perspective. Using the information provided by Gretchen and Michael in this book, you, too, can live well with Parkinson’s disease.” —John D. Campbell, MD, neurologist and medical director for PASFL, the Parkinson’s Association of Southwest Florida
