Jeremy Paxman: Parkinson's Makes You Wish You 'Hadn't Been Born'
Former Newsnight Presenter Shares Heartbreaking Admission
Paxman Delivers Recommendations to Downing Street
Jeremy Paxman, the former Newsnight presenter, has revealed that Parkinson's disease makes you wish you "hadn't been born." Paxman, who was diagnosed with the condition in 2019, made the admission during a meeting with Downing Street to discuss the disease.
Paxman's comments come as part of a wider campaign to raise awareness of Parkinson's, which affects over 127,000 people in the UK. The condition, which is caused by a loss of nerve cells in the brain, can lead to a range of symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and slow movement.
In a heartbreaking admission, Paxman said that Parkinson's had made him "less exuberant" and that he had lost some of the "zip" that he used to have. However, he stressed that he was determined to continue working and raising awareness of the condition.
Paxman's diagnosis was made after a doctor noticed that he was less exuberant when presenting. The former Newsnight presenter said that he had initially thought the symptoms were due to old age, but that he had eventually been diagnosed with Parkinson's.
Despite the challenges he faces, Paxman said that he was determined to live a full and active life. He urged others with Parkinson's to do the same, saying that "there is life after diagnosis."Paxman's comments have sparked a wider conversation about the impact of Parkinson's. The condition can have a devastating impact on individuals and their families, and it is important to raise awareness of its effects.
