Couric Interviews Fox

Moments ago, the Michael J. Fox interview with Katie Couric (whose father suffers from Parkinson's disease) aired on the CBS Evening News. Couric writes:
He trembled uncontrollably, and his legs shook, but he explained it was actually a side effect of not taking enough medication. He told me he reduced his dosage because he didn’t want to have dyskinesia, which is the side effect of too much medication, and which causes the swaying back and forth that was so evident in the controversial ad for Missouri Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill. Fox said that he can never tell from one day to the next how serious his symptoms will be. It’s a crapshoot. Our interview lasted about 30 minutes.
You can read Couric's full blog entry on the interview and eventually view the unedited interview at the link starting here.
