Lets just say for the sake of argumement that Hillary does have Parkinson’s... how long would someone with Parkinsons usually live after getting it?

Michael J Fox has done pretty well since diagnosis in 1991.

Fox manages the symptoms of his Parkinson's disease with the drug carbidopa/levodopa.

My daughter’s mother-in-law has had Parkinson’s going on 20 years. She’s pretty debilitated but does have her good days. Look at how long Michael J. Fox has been with us.

My dad was diagnosed in 1995. Of course, looking back now, he was having symptoms for at least 2-3 years prior to the diagnosis.

He lived until 2013. But he was in need of assistance with daily activities probably by 2003 or 04. And it was just a downward spiral the entire 18 years.

I'm just not sure I see the symptoms of Parkinson's with Hillary. Perhaps some kind of seizure disorder.

I hate Hillary with a passion but I wouldn't wish Parkinson's on my worst enemy.

For some, it’s just five years; others 25.

The older you are, when PD is diagnosed, the shorter the life span.

We have had several in laws and friends with diagnosed PD.

Those in their late 60’s/early 70’s died withing a few years of diagnosis. They could never get a good handle on drug treatment and other treatments.

Those in their late 50’s/60’s seemed get a good handle on their disease and are still going years later.

Illiarily is not a healthy woman to begin with. If she has PD, her life style of booze/? will probably mean a shorter and more miserable life span.

Michael J. Fox has had it for some time now; but, I think he was a pretty healthy person before he was diagnosed. HRC is elderly, and not in good shape. I think the more important question is: Did she suffer a stroke after/during her head injury? If so, was the stroke the cause of her fall? Has any portion of her brain been affected by these incidents?

I think her recent behavior and lack of public events, point to most of those questions being answered as Yes.
