Empowered With Parkinson's
from Answers For Elders Radio Network
What does it mean to be empowered with Parkinson's? Lianna Marie, CEO of AllAboutParkinsons.com, joins Suzanne to address what to do as people with Parkinson's get older — and caregivers take more control over decisions — and feel a loss of autonomy. Lianna realized with her mom that she was making mistakes and had to course-correct, providing choices to empower her. We own our lives. It's the ability in decision-making to be able to listen and consult with doctors, but be able to see what's working over time and doctors don't know her completely, only seeing them once or twice a year, and that doesn't mean they know about her own body. Her mom learned to trust her gut, and tell medical practitioners what they're experiencing when it conflicts with their expectations, what's working and what's not working to improve your quality of life. Lianna's book "The Parkinson's Path" will be coming out later this year. Currently, ''The Complete Guide for People With Parkinson’s Disease and Their Loved Ones'' is available at Amazon.
