When Your Neurons Dance: A Story of a Doctor with Parkinson’s Disease
Autor Jonny Achesonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 aug 2025
In 2016, when he was 41, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, a progressive neurological condition for which there is no cure.
He found it increasingly difficult to multitask in his fast-paced world. The environment that he thrived in made his symptoms worse. Parkinson’s challenged his professional identity as an emergency doctor, and he didn’t know what to do.
When Your Neurons Dance is about how he is adapting over time with support around him - how he looked to the past to help him in the present, embracing change as new doors opened both inside and outside medicine.
Ultimately as a doctor practising with Parkinson’s, he found a way to give back, despite a condition that always takes away.

Recenzii
'When Your Neurons Dance offers far more than a clinician’s account of living with Parkinson’s—it is an insightful, honest, and deeply human narrative that blends personal experience with professional reflection. Accessible and affordable, it is a book that deserves a place in every hospital and medical academic library.'
- Tracey Smith, Co-Clinical Lead Nursing, Parkinson's UK Excellence Network
'While focusing on Jonny’s experience with Parkinsons, this book is relevant for clinicians, patients and family members who face any lifelong condition to help move from managing the pathology to managing the lived experience through the lens of taking some control.'
- Ruth Evans, Founder of Picker Experience Network, Patient Experience Book Club
