My father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease when he was in his 50s. I'm worried that I may possibly be diagnosed when I'm older. Are there ways to better prevent the disease or genetically is it a strong possiblity that I'll be affected by it?

  I had just seen some kind of show Michael J. Fox was on talking about Parkinsons disease...man he is messed up. Does Parkinsons kill you, or does it just mess up your voluntary movements? What exactly does it do to you?

  I just got back from my dad's exercise class, where they help people who have diseases that take away the ability to walk/move & I told my dad I didn't want to go back because I got very emotional watching everyone & how sick they were. Is that selfish?
