My experience in working in nursing homes is that you are correct, it does affect different people in different ways. Some suffer very few physical symptoms but have severely impaired judgement. Since the symptoms seems so wide and varied, Parkinsons Disease is more like a neurological symptom group rather than a diagnosis in and of itself. I have known patients that never have 'shakes' or 'tremors'. In the end, 'old age' has many names.

My 75 year old uncle has it. It hit hard but now it's stabilized a bit. He describes it as "telling my leg to move and my leg waiting 5 seconds or so to obey". He still has his wits largely.
