I wish to relate my family who have three PD sufferers.
Both of my brothers are self denial and angered when they are diagnosed as PD and going on without taking the medication and consultation with doctors.
They start bargaining with doctors by switching to other field of specialists not related with PD as they do not accept PD as muscles movement disorders. Thus it aggravates them with PD progression.
It is a sad story.

Dear Teo,
It is a sad story, indeed. Some denial initially is understandable, also seeking a second, or even third opinion from other doctors.
At some point, though, the most helpful and positive action is to begin self-education with regard to PD; to understand its nature, and how best to manage it and stay healthy and productive. I know of many people who continue to pursue their hobbies -- playing golf, running marathons, quilting, painting -- because they keep a positive attitude and are very proactive with regard to their health.
I hope you will always remain a good example for us all, and for your family as well.
Best regards,
Kathrynne Holden
