For everyone, Parkinson's becomes part of everyday family life. In order to be able to deal with it in the best way possible, it is important to be informed and not just see the disease.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month. I decided to write about it because my sister, Danny, was diagnosed with the disease last year. Approximately 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with PD each year. More than 10 million people worldwide are living with PD.
