As far as writers, www.lymeblog.com has a nice section of information.

Posted by Geneal (Member # 10375) on :

So does Michael J. Fox have/had Parkinson's disease or Lyme disease

Or possibly both?

If both, what came first?

I didn't realize that about MJF.

Just interested as my brother-n-law was dx with Parkinson's at age 29.

Former avid deer hunter.

Has refused all info re: Lyme disease from me and uses Michael J. Fox

As a reference to young people getting Parkinson's.

Hugs,

Geneal,
Look in the link I gave above. I think there's info on MJF.

The Lyme came first of course, since most Parkinson's IS Lyme....my opinion. That's what happened to my father.

Several who were filming a movie with MJF are also ill with Parkinson's. Sounds suspicious, huh!?
