That is so interesting. Sorry for your illness, David. Parkinson's comes in many suits. I am not an expert, but my brother and stepfather and my stepfather's sister all had Parkinson's that presented somewhat differently. My brother was diagnosed in 2008 and died at 80. My personal theory is that he was able to manage it as well as he did because he was so physically fit (as is Joe Biden). My stepfather lived in the UK and I wasn't able to visit him in the later years of his life. His failing memory (and probably his stubbornness) allowed him to deny his disease to me when we spoke not long before he passed at 93.

I hope to avoid full P.D. The signs are mixed.
