[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s been my experience as a person with dementia and Parkinsonism in the family that they don’t really have a good way to find out the specific diagnosis for the things that don’t have kind of obvious hallmarks, so a lot of times you don’t really get a proper diagnosis until far along if at all.

Like for Parkinsonism, people are familiar with the physical symptoms of regular Parkinson’s but a lot of people don’t know there’s a group of related diseases that look quite different. [/quote]

This.  My father died from Agent Orange-induced Parkinsonism that was poorly diagnosed for the 15 years prior to his death. So many disorders and diseases present in a similar way.  My dad was only in his 50s when it started to affect him and died in his early 70s.  Funny enough, we always teased him for looking much like Bruce Willis back in the 80s Moonlighting days.

I hope Bruce and his family can weather this storm in much the same way they've lived their private lives in a public manner: with grace and humor.  Wishing them all the best. [/quote]
