Last night I was visiting a college friend of mine who has had early onset Parkinson’s Disease for over 30 years. Over the past month or so I’ve been thinking how Biden’s symptoms seem very similar to what my friend was experiencing about 5 years ago. The blank stares, the “getting stuck,” the way he walks and holds his arms, the slurred speech, the jumbled thoughts, the soft voice, not being able to finish a sentence without getting lost. I had kept my thoughts to myself. But last night my friend’s wife mentioned the same thing. Dementia is clearly part of Parkinson’s, including hallucinations and hearing things. There are many forms and causes of dementia. I’m thinking Biden’s may be due to Parkinson’s.
Our grandpa has advanced Alzheimer. By now he is totally lost, but Biden reminds me of him about three-four years ago.
Similar blank states, closing his eyes, loosing thoughts, hallucinations, walk, holding his hands.
So Alzheimer has also similar symptoms.
