[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again-meant to also say, I don't really know what Dad could have done to prevent it? Like I said, he didn't smoke/drink/drug, he kept a healthy weight, and was relatively active, even playing league ice hockey until age 50. No one else in the family-not his siblings, cousins no one else, has it.

Parkinsons is awful, it was so hard and awful for him. He was so healthy otherwise that he live all the way to the end of stage 5-the very worst of it. [/quote]

I’m so sorry about your Dad’s illness and struggles with Parkinson’s. I was glad to hear he did have many good years after his diagnosis before the disease progressed.

My Mom had a similar trajectory and died after a 10 year struggle. Like your Dad, she never smoked, drank or did drugs and lived an active healthy lifestyle.  The doctors never gave us a definitive reason why she developed it, but she had worked in a lab while a college student and early in her career, maybe there was exposure there.
