Author: Sidney Dorros

In the first British edition of this classic book, Sidney Dorros tells the remarkable story of how he dealt with Parkinson's for more than 20 years and learned to achieve "accommodation without surrender."  It includes an introduction, written specially for this publication, by Les Essex, a British friend of Sidney Dorros, who also has Parkinson's.

Parkinson's: a Patient's View is a deeply moving account of one man's experiences in coming to terms with life with Parkinson's disease. With honesty and with courage, Sidney Dorros describes how his personal life was affected and how it felt to take part in clinical trials at one of the most eventful times in the history of Parkinson's research.

Despite the difficulties and setbacks of life with Parkinson's, Sidney Dorros's story of tenacity and optimism will inspire people with Parkinson's  - and their relatives, carers and friends.

"I was enthralled and stimulated to read how one man and his family faced up to the challenges set by Parkinson's disease."
Mary G Baker MBE, President of the European Federation of Neurological Associations

"When I first read this book, it was like meeting a friend with lots of similar ideas about coping with Parkinson's. Mine came from listening to hundred's of people with Parkinson's; Sidney's were distilled from his own unique experiences as a patient. I am delighted that many people will have the chance to learn from his experience."
