Google is your friend. Lots of information there.

My dad had Parkinson's. He finally got to shaking so bad that he couldn't feed himself.

It's not a pretty disease,my FIL had it for about the last 15 of his 83 yr life. People just need to be patient and understanding towards them.

My dad who is 85 has dealt with parkinsons for many years.  He has been one of the lucky ones as daily doses of carbidopa have always kept things in check.  If he goes a couple days without the drug the shakes start and continually get worse.  As long as he stays with the meds no one would ever know.   Google will offer more info than anyone can absorb.
