My Father, My Brother and Me tracks the mystery behind this gateway disease. Parkinson’s is actually more common that any other neurological condition save Alzheimer’s. In fact, more people have Parkinson’s than the combined numbers for Multiple Sclerosis, ALS and Muscular Dystrophy. But despite its prevalence, it doesn’t call much attention to itself. Its distinguishing characteristics are often no more pronounced that a shuffling step or shaking hand. And yet within this mundane progression, this halting story that doesn't rush to a dramatic close, there lies a tantalizing mystery of real scientific significance.
