(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."

His best hope is that the diagnosis is as phony as he is.
No comment.
“I have nothing good to say and I dont wish him well”
That sucks...he could live a long time with that. Maybe it can be more of the Cassius Clay strain?
Cognitive function, walking ability/gait, tremors, loss if memory, and other neurological abilities that disappear. A family member of mine has Parkinson’s Plus. We noticed it first because his robot-like gait.
“”My family and I began to notice changes about three years ago,”
We noticed problems 45 years ago.
A shakeup in the shakedown machine? Makes me shake all over.
“STAY OUT DA BUSHES!” For once he was right. A blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.
How can they tell. Jackson has been shaky all of his life.
“The ravages of Parkinsonism, which mimics many of the symptoms of Parkinsons Disease, took down my father in a horrible way. I would not wish PD on anyone, even a corrupt, lying, race baiting, poverty pump such as Jesse Jackson.”
He’s not your father. He’s the enemy of you and your father.
He’s already 76, though his birthparents lived to be 91 and 89, respectively.
“Jackson added that “recognition of the effects of this disease on me has been painful.”
You have been painful for the country.
All those chips on his shoulders grew too heavy finally.....
Looked up Jesse Jackson sexual accusation. Many articles.
Hmm.
Let's get back to the "I like all of that right there!" remark he made, as he squeezed this journalist's thigh:
“No comment.”
I’ll make one. Al Sharpton....next.
This is know as the ‘Chickens coming home to roost’ disease.
“STAY OUT DA BUSHES! For once he was right. A blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.”
But look at the democrat alternatives. Bad breath is better than no breath.
I'll have to invite him to my Christmas cocktail party...my blender broke.
Maybe McCain will loan him the wheelchair
My father in law suffered Parkinsons. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
