Caring for me Member since May 13, 2010I would like to clarify, I was not the caregiver for my Father, he was living at very nice asisted living facility only 1 mile from my home. My Sister & I took turns taking him to his Dr. appointments, after our Mother passed. My parents were married 60 years. My Mother had pronounced hand tremors but her Doctor was unable to confirm if she had Parkinson's disease. My Father was diagnosed with Parkinson's about 11 years ago. My Mother died of a stroke 3years ago. My Dad passed 1 i/2 years ago. I am very concerned over my chances of also developing Parkinson's since it seems to run in my family. What are the chances of escaping this disease?
