Michael J. Fox reflected on living with Parkinson's disease more than 30 years after his diagnosis
Michael J. Fox is reflecting on living with Parkinson's disease more than 30 years after his diagnosis.
'After 35 years or something since I've been diagnosed, this is just my life and I don't think about it much,' he told Entertainment Tonight. 'I don't even think about . Except that I'm thinking about what we're going to do as a community to figure this out and find a cure – and short of a cure, treatment centers that are really groundbreaking.'
Fox – whose wife of 35 years, Tracy Pollan, accompanied him to the night's event – also reflected on the outpouring of support he's received from fans and friends alike after sharing his diagnosis. The Family Ties alum was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease while filming Doc Hollywood in 1991 at age 29. The 'surprising and devastating' diagnosis came after he developed a tremor in his pinky finger and sought out a consultation with a neurologist, per the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
