In the film Under Our Skin, a Colorado Rockies player was diagnosed with Parkinson's and began to recover when treated for Lyme disease

Coincidence or missing medical link? First it was Michael J. Fox...he contracted Lyme disease and a few years later was diagnosed with Parkinson's. In the film Under Our Skin, a Colorado Rockies player was diagnosed with Parkinson's and began to recover when treated for Lyme disease. Now, "Grammy-winning singer Linda Ronstadt has revealed to AARP that she has Parkinson's disease." But, guess what? She, too, appears to have had Lyme disease.

"I knew it was mechanical. I knew it had to do with the muscles, but I thought it might have also had something to do with the tick disease that I had," she said. Although the interview excerpt didn't specify the tick-borne illness Ronstadt has, the AARP linked to a page on Lyme disease."
