"Parkinson's disease is the 14th leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's annual analysis of mortality data. The CDC also released data this week showing there was a 4.6% increase in deaths attributable to Parkinson's disease in 2010 (the most recent year for which they have data)."

See CDC report pg.7 Causes of Death

From the day I was diagnosed the message has been that people do not die of PD, they die with PD. Anyone care to share some thoughts about this latest info? I'm thrilled homicides are down, but that doesn't address our issue and still leaves us in the dark.
