It's possible that I actually had Parkinson's for five or even ten years before I noticed the twitching in my pinkie that morning in Florida. Scientists believe that by the time a patient notices even the tiniest tremor--the blinking red light, if you will--as much as eighty percent of the dopamine-producing cells in the substan-tinigra are already dead, totally lost without any possibility of recovery.
Wow, that's scary it could be in your body for so long before there's any indication.
ReplyDeleteThe blurb you've posted in frightening. I've been curious about this book, and I hope you'll post a review of it.
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely be reviewing it! :-)
DeleteOh man...that's scary to think that it's too late to do much by the time signs start to show.
ReplyDeleteSo sad and yet Michael J. Fox is so inspiring to us all. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what that must be like. I was really sad when I heard he had Parkinson because I always loved his acting! Hope you have a good weekend and thanks for hosting,

I've been wanting to read this one for a long time. It sounds very enlightening.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed watching Michael J. Fox on television over the years. So sad to see the disease progress.
ReplyDeleteThat is so frightening...and this book is one on my list. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThat is a book I really want to read. And I've always wondered about what he's saying there. I have an uncle with Parkinson's, so I've seen this happening up close.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to add this one to my stack. I have always liked Michael J. Fox and he is very inspiring in his struggle with this disease.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me about this book. I remember when it came out. I want to read it.
ReplyDeleteI love his work. So sad, and yet so uplifting and brave of him to share his struggle with Parkinson's in his book.
ReplyDeleteIt takes courage to share such a struggle. I miss Michael on the screen.
ReplyDeleteHe is on a new show, The Michael J. Fox show, and it is pretty funny. Considering it is based on his real life, it is a great representation of him and his disease. With humor thrown in, of course.
DeleteI've had this book on my shelf for quite a while now. I really should get it read soon.
