speaks about...

most people ignore what they do not understand or cannot control.
my kids always are always bringing me news about new breakthroughs.
I think though it is a bit unreasonable to expect your family to help you research. Thats kinda "rubbing their nose in it", so-to-speak. My recommendation is to have an informal "update" once every week or two. "Plant the seed" and see what comes up!!
Ignoring your PD will help them short term.
your family will come to accept your disease in time.

just as you will.

you are the BEST, regardless of your PD. DOn't forget that ever!!
