Parkinsons affect everyone differently. Some folks go for years with slight symptoms and the help of drugs.

Some dive right off the cliff and nothing helps and some are somewhere in between.

Parkinsons is really simply a generic label for a variety of neuro disorders that center around the lack of dopamine secretion is it not?

From what I've seen, the older...the quicker. It's been obvious to anyone that the Pope has had this for some time.

My experience in working in nursing homes is that you are correct, it does affect different people in different ways. Some suffer very few physical symptoms but have severely impaired judgement. Since the symptoms seems so wide and varied, Parkinsons Disease is more like a neurological symptom group rather than a diagnosis in and of itself. I have known patients that never have 'shakes' or 'tremors'. In the end, 'old age' has many names.

Ditto to your "...It's been obvious..for a long time"

And, that explains why the Vatican social-justice-leftist crowd has the Pope stating their "type" of "sock puppet" talking points.
