Robin.... While I don't happen to watch Michael J. Fox's TV program, I've seen in doing commercials for that program, plus he's appeared on a few other TV spots which I HAVE seen. Mr.. Fox is the consummate actor, and each movement he makes appears SO natural that to the untrained eye, he'd look visually completely "normal." HOWEVER, to someone who's lived with PD for 23 years, AND who knows every way on God's green earth to disguise and/or to hide a variety of Parkinson's symptoms (consciously and unconsciously), every time I see him on TV lately my mind screams out to me, "MOVEMENT DISORDER." He may not have PD, but it looks like he may have a neurological disorder. Either way, my heart goes out to him.
