In A Parkinson’s Primer, John Vine starts where his education about Parkinson’s began, with his diagnosis at the age of sixty of Parkinson’s disease. With candor A Parkinson’s Primer describes the symptoms the disease causes, presents suggestions for how to deal with them, and describes the available medications that aid in living an active life with the disease.
John M. Vine is an attorney in Washington, D.C. Since his diagnosis with Parkinson’s in 2004, John has spent much time learning about the disease, interviewing other patients and their partners, and developing the ideas presented in this book.
