Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Filled with tips, techniques, and shortcuts Shelley learned from personal experience and from the people around her, this book encompasses several guiding principles that underlie her labor-saving suggestions. Everyone with a chronic medical condition such as Parkinson's disease should know, for example, to alternate periods of activity with periods of rest, plan ahead, and to take advantage of labor-saving devices and new technology. Readers will learn the most basic lessons for conserving time and energy, enabling them to do more of the things they want to do. They can use these techniques to become more organized and to work smarter. And, most important, they will be more independent than they otherwise would have been.

About the Author
Shelley Peterman Schwarz's nationally syndicated "Making Life Easier" column is the result of years of problem solving, and appears in newspapers and magazines throughout the country. Now, from the acclaimed author of 300 Tips to Making Life with Multiple Sclerosis Easier, readers with Parkinson's disease can take advantage of an extensive collection of practical tips and techniques geared specifically to their needs and concerns.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tips for people with PD, January 15, 2003
By A Customer
This book is a great resource for people with PD. It has a chapter about the special challenges of eating/swallowing with PD, which was very detailed and informative. I'd recommend the book.
