God luck hiding your symptoms...I don't know what exactly to tell you. I know in my case I sure couldn't hide it. People were talking behind my back asking if I was an alcoholic due to the shaking and shuffling gait. I take things to the other extreme, telling people in the hopes of learning something new. It always amazes me how many people have PD. I don't feel like it's me against the world. Tell your family to get a grip. PD is not a death sentence.
