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.
