Hiding it is common; who wants to be the disabled one before they have to be? Others choose to tell. I hid it too.

Boann, there have been single sentence statements about the movements being caused by medication, but they have largely been in passing, no emphasis.

Michael is going to be on Katie Couric tonight - CBS news. Maybe he will explain. I hope people don't accuse him of once again unfairly using his HUGE ADVANTAGE of having Parkinson's Disease.

This is about people in denial underneath it all, and just not wanting to see the reality. One would rather not look at physical disabilities.
