About this ebook
I wrote a collection of poems which was made into a book entitled "Parkinson's, shaken, not stirred". The response I received from writing so openly about living with Parkinson's was overwhelming, and I decided to write a daily blog, talking candidly and honestly I hope I have helped in some small way, so that sufferers and caregivers realise they are not alone. Keeping positive, and with a sense of humour, I hope and pray that a cure is not too far away. My intention has been to reach those who for whatever reason are not able, or do not have access to join a support group. Knowing you are not alone in your daily struggles with a debilitating disease is important. The feedback I have received has been tremendous, touching on every topic imaginable relating to living with Parkinson's. I started writing my blog on 6th September 2011, and to mark an entire year of blogging, I decided to put all the entries together as a book which everyone can download for FREE. Sharing and spreading the word hopefully will bring greater awareness.
Elaine Benton
Elaine born in 1963, England. Diagnosed at the age of five with Gaucher disease; a rare chronic inherited disorder, for which there is no cure. At the age of 44, she was dealt a second blow being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. As her life rapidly changed, she began to write poems expressing what so many sufferers were going through but unable to put into words. With the desire to help others in the same situation, she wrote a book of poems and her latest book which is an inspiring story of her life, offering support to fellow sufferers and caregivers. Feeling she had something unique to offer, she also started writing a daily blog touching on varied topics all relating to living with chronic disease. Through writing and public speaking Elaine is turning her hardships into something of value and purpose, contributing to society by talking at various organisations and groups, now an international public speaker; her aim is to educate and inform. Elaine writes with stark honesty as she battles each day with determination, great spirit and humour.
