people's reactions are strange. I have not told many people, so I have not experienced the same reactions most of you have. but what I have noticed is MOST people do not have clue what Parkinson's is or how it affects a person. I am learning that most think it's just "some shaking" and they really do not know what to say. They still should NOT just go into their own "stuff", but I chalk it up to nervousness and/or ignorance about the disease. hang in there. Oh, and try not to respond to their "stuff" with wow that sounds bad but hey at least it's not Parkinson's
