(CNN) — Civil rights activist the Rev. Jesse Jackson said Friday that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. A neurological disorder with no cure, Parkinson's can cause tremors, stiffness and difficulty balancing, walking and coordinating movement.
"My family and I began to notice changes about three years ago," Jackson wrote in a statement. "After a battery of tests, my physicians identified the issue as Parkinson's disease, a disease that bested my father."
Jackson added that "recognition of the effects of this disease on me has been painful."
He also said he sees his diagnosis as "a signal that I must make lifestyle changes and dedicate myself to physical therapy in hopes of slowing the disease's progression."

Well that, and "stay outta the Bushes"
That said, I witnessed some of this with my grandfather. As others have stated, I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Well, maybe Soros, because he is truly evil and perhaps the most dangerous person still breathing.
My thoughts exactly. Way past time for the Rev to prepare to meet the Lord!
>>He’s not your father. He’s the enemy of you and your father.<<
My father is deceased. Jackson is a thoroughly rotten person, a crook, and an enemy of what is good and right in this country. He also is a human being; would rather see him die in prison than to be taken down by PD. Probably will happen the other way, but that’s what is.
Karma doesn’t exist.

Horrible disease, horrible individual.
