    Why would something like that bother you or make you feel uneasy? - its an illness and they have to suffer with it day in day out - why would YOU have to 'cope with seeing it' or be frightened by it?! Try to understand the illness and not judge the sufferer. They are people with feeling and emotions; they just happen to have a neurological disorder as well.

    My Mother has a cousin with Parkinsons.....scares the hell out of me every time I see her. Nonetheless, the human thing to do is disregard the symptoms and focus on the person. If it's a stranger walking down the street, either make eye contact and smile or proceed as if they were just a regular person.

    Manageable to cope with seeing. My ex's mom has Parkinson's. We first noticed it long before she told us. It didn't bother me, however, I did feel sad for her. Her shaking was uncontrollable.

    Michael J. Fox also has Parkinson's. He is our city's very own genuine Hollywood celebrity. However, all of us know that Michael will die of his disease soon - it is just a matter of when. He's still pretty young. It's very sad.

    My grandad has this awfull brain desease and I really do feel sorry for him as he can not really walk that far and he is pain all the time. Not having is myself I dont really know what this feels like, but I do feel sorry for them.

  • I would be a little scared but ask if he/she needed any help, just in case it was something more serious.

    I'd wonder what was wrong with them since I wouldn't realize they had parkinson's.

    Other than that, I'd be fine with it.

    I would feel okay. I don't really understand what you're looking for here.
