His Suffering
He has struggled to control his sickness over the years while managing his Parkinson’s symptoms and dealing with other personal losses and mental health issues.
In the interview, he remarked, “I have aides around me quite a bit in case I fall, and that lack of privacy is hard to deal with. “I lost independence, health, my dog, and members of my family. Since I’m not competent to diagnose myself, I hesitate to use the term “depression,” but all the symptoms were present.
What happened to Michael J. Fox?
The actor disclosed in an interview with Variety this week that Michael J. Fox has experienced many injuries due to his Parkinson’s disease.
The 61-year-old “Back to the Future” actor spoke candidly about his struggle with the condition and his injuries as a result of losing his balance.
His downfall during his illness
I have a fall-down issue. And having this is part of that,” Fox remarked. “However, I’m hoping and expecting not to break as many bones tomorrow. So, that is optimistic.
In a recent interview with CBS “Sunday Morning,” Fox also discussed his experiences and pondered how long Parkinson’s has been a part of his life.
He added that few of us have had this sickness for 30 years, adding that it has been more than 30 years. “Having Parkinson’s is awful.“
Funding Money for research over the disease
Since disclosing his diagnosis, he has made a significant effort to raise funds for Parkinson’s, a condition whose treatments and research development was underfunded.
According to its website, the charity Michael J. Fox Foundation, which was established in 2000, has raised more than $1.5 billion for Parkinson’s research.
Parkinson’s disease is still pounding my ass, no matter how often I sit here and tell you how I’ve philosophically accepted it and taken its weight.
I won’t succeed in this. I’m going to lose, Fox assured the magazine. However, there is much to be gained from the defeat.
