    Hello!!! Thank you so much for everything you do. My father was diagnosed with Parkinson in 2000 but unfortunately they misdiagnosed him and he passed away with a disease called Multiple system Atrophy (MSA). But for the first few years when he "had" Parkinson's i use to get so upset when I saw him shaking, but he was so positive and didn't show us any sign that he was scared or bothered about his disease. He use to say" it will be ok Michael J Fox has the same disease and he is doing fine and so am I". So since my dad was diagnosed (even though he was misdiagnosed) Michael J Fox became a big part in my family's life because of his foundation. So I have to say that MJF is one of my most favorite people, and thank you for all of your hard work and everyone within the foundation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    My wife just got her Parkinson's diagnosis a week ago. I've had that Godspeed album in my library since around the time we got married in 2009. I loved the album the moment I got it, but now it takes on a whole new meaning.

    Per the mention of patient-reported data, the MJFF might look into partnering with PatientsLikeMe (if it hasn't already).

    I'm in my 40s. I may have early onset of Parkinson's. I've noticed slight tremors in my hands, and chin. Not all the time, but enough to be worried about. I do lose my balance alot. But I thought that was because of my dyspraxia. I do have mild arthritis.

    How do I get in touch? I have MS with Parkinson type gabaminergic réactions. I have a background in nutrition (pre meds) and electronics engineering. I live in Canada, and we dont have most treatments here, especially for my disphagia. have to read neurology journals constantly. What I have found by testing on myself would help others, as I have been ahead of the studies... ie contra-indications, and ramifications of diet alone treatment.
