"Please see my #19."

I did see it as I scrolled down.

When my husband suffered the bleed (considered a stroke) I saw him dragging his leg as he held onto the counter in the kitchen and his words slurred. He never went down though. With the Parkisonism that he has now, when he gets really tired his legs do stiffen up and he has gone down a few time.

It is possible that she was suffering a stroke, but since people have noticed how she was being carried up stairs etc, before now and how she has difficulty getting in the Van, I am more inclined to think Parkinsonism from the concussion she had.

Mohammad Alli had Parkinsonism from all the blows he got to his head. People just tend to call it Parkinson's, which is what Michael J. Fox has. Michael J. Fox's can be controlled by medication at least for awhile. It can never be cured. Those with Parkinsonism can't be controlled with medication. At least my husband's never was and they had put him on the highest dosses of Carbodopa/Levadopa. That is when the nuerologist confirmed it was NOT Parkinson's, but Parkinsonism.
