Can people die from Parkinson's?

Question

i am a massive fan of Michael J Fox and really worried that he will die soon :(

Answer 1

Sadly it kills everyone in the end but it takes a long time to do it

Answer 2

Its a very slow process. You just get worse and worse as the years go by and it eventually turns off all the systems in your body and you just shut down!!

Suddenly you cant walk, then you can move your arms, then even talk....etc. Those are just exampled but thats basically what it is!

Answer 3

they do eventually but its after many many years, its the medication that is killing them slowly not the illness, its a terrible degenerative deceasei know i seen him on oprah and its such a shame that someone so talented has to suffer like that yet murderers get away and rot in prisons,theres no justice in the world

Answer 4

Answer 7

This would probablly be better answered under diseases.

People who hang out in the celebrites section aren't nearly as well versed in disease as those who hang on that forum.

But in answer to the question, I don't know look it  up on web.md and read about it, thats the best way to get info, not asking random people on a board.

Everyone dies...I'm sure people with certain diseases die easier/earlier than do others, is it FROM that per-say...maybe not

Answer 8

Great actor.!!

Answer 9

My dad has Parkinson's and eventually it only kills you cause your body gives up but no its not Life threatening it kills you over many many years its an awful disease.

Michael J Fox has had it since he was 30 and is still active so I think he will be around for a long time yet!
