A trained nurse, Lianna Marie served as her mother?s caregiver and advocate for over twenty years through the many stages of Parkinson?s disease. She founded AllAboutParkinsons.com, an online community that has connected and helped thousands of people with the disease, their families, and their caregivers.
The Complete Guide for People With Parkinson?s Disease and Their Loved Ones is written for people recently diagnosed and their family members; Everything You Need to Know About Caregiving for Parkinson?s Disease is a go-to resource for all caregivers of those suffering from Parkinson?s. Both books share the goal of educating and helping everyday people with no specialized training, providing comprehensive information, practical tips, and guidance about how to deal with the emotional toll of the disease.
