Hi Nina, Great synopsis of the disease. Brig is suffering with dementia and that is the pits. After 22 years of handling this, I am finally getting tired and worn out. You and I both know, this is not a one -person disease, it involves everyone, family, friends etc. Like you, we have met the best group of people in the world, I always said, I never met a Parkinson's person, I didn't like. Hopefully all we have done, from advocacy to clinical trials will keep newly diagnosed from the suffering and emotional stress we have had.
