Almost Instantly [after My Announcement Of Parkinson's], I Saw The First Couple Of Days The Coverage Was About, You Know, "fox's Parkinson's, Blah, Blah, Blah."

And That Was One Of The First Eye-opening Things.

As Much As Parkinson's Is About Movement, The End Stage Is Being Frozen. So The More I Let That Happen, The More I'm Gonna Be Stuck Within That And Unable To Reverse It.
