Wow, what a detailed description of your experience and the disease itself. I can't even imagine how challenging that must have been for your whole family, especially for your dad and uncle. My boyfriend's dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's a while back, and his deterioration between Christmas and this past weekend when we went to visit was really noticeable. He seems quite resistant to treatment at the moment, so currently I'm doing my due diligence to research options in the hope that he will be open to it at some point. Growing older has its ravages on its own, but so much more so with an awful disease speeding up the process.
