I want to thank all for the positive energy and prayers. One of the best Nuerology Centers for Parkinsons Disease is here in Tampa.....today I went to this center and received a Positive Confirmation that I have Parkinsons Disease. I would be lying to tell you I handled it ok. Tomarrow is a new day, with love and support I will fight and act like the champion I am. I tell my children never to quit, now is my turn to lead by example.

Best wishes for him!  https://www.facebook.com/mark.antonek#!/mark.antonek

Look at Ali was diagnosed about 30 years ago, not good.  Michael J. Fox is somewhat managing, but as Limbaugh made fun of, off the meds is in bad shape.

Reversed? No, its a degenerative disorder. You can slow down the process, cannot reverse it.

One of my biggest fears is having a degenerative disorder :(
