He says people are sick of hearing from him, but I don't think we hear enough from him.

My husband was diagnosed with PD in June 2021.Thank you Michael for dedicating your life to find a cure.❤️ 🇨🇦

i was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The Michael J. Fox foundation is a great source of information and inspiration. Awareness is extremely important.

I started to have symptoms when I was in my late 40’s but didn’t know until last spring (2022)14 years later that it was Parkinson’s. I had Covid and was on a vent. The Parkinson’s symptoms were like in fast forward. I will never be sick of hearing and seeing him. He’s a lighthouse to many of us. Thank you 🙏

Love his self-humor, when he says I don't need an electric toothbrush, his hands shake on their own ❤️

I was diagnosed 3 years ago at age 73. muscle stiffness makes walking difficult. some days are better than others for no apparent reason. I celebrate the good days and try to avoid worrying about the future which can be scary.

don't know anyone with PD but I grew up watching MJF on tv. my respects to this guy. tough, down to earth and does not let this disease bring him down. what a person to look up to. never lose hope

I'm 60 years old and just recently got diagnosed with Parkinson's. I'm a mechanic for UPS and I'm retiring after 25 years with the company. I wanted to stay working until 62 but I just can't do it anymore. The medication I'm taking cost $1000 a month and is covered by my health insurance. Why is it so expensive. MJF is my cheerleader. Go Michael 👍

He is admirable! I was a toddler when I first became a fan of his. But watching him battle this disease and putting himself out there, being vulnerable in front of millions viewers, my respects. Battling any neurological disease- any for that matter- is a challenge. People stare at you because you cannot wear a shirt with a label on it. To be honest, we don’t hear enough of him. I wish he did more interviews. His optimism is contagious.

His foundation has raised nearly a billion dollars now! I just look at Michael j Fox as who he is today. That was a brilliant interview.

Michael J Fox has helped so many people = a true angel on earth :)

❤️ Michael. Bless him on his journey and for his efforts in finding a cure and helping others.

He is probably the best human being in this world. Bless him and family.

Thank you. My husband has Parkinsons 23 years. 2 DBS units installed.

Don't stop fighting to this terrible disease, Mr Fox.

What an admirable person, he has made the most of any chance he has (even if sometimes it seemed hopeless) to make a positive impact, make the public aware of PD and to use his stardom for the best:). I have major respect for this man.

Thank you Michael. My brother is one of the one million parkinson's patients in the US. Your foundation helps us to see the many different facets and versions. Its not always just balance or tremors. His version seems to include confusion and memory loss and exhaustion. Your dedication and foundation.... thank you for being an advocate fighting for funding and stem cell research

Michael, You are the original tough guy as David Letterman said on you 41st appearance on his show in 2015. I was diagnosed 3 years ago and I have hope because of you!!! let's keep fighting and find a cure.

We are NOT sick of seeing you, Michael. You always have something comforting to share and a smile to gentle us--usually you have something hilarious to point out, too. No, see, okay, we're NOT sick of seeing you. Jesus!

Ive had it for two years. Michael J Fox is my hero.

I need more of MJF's attitude, in all areas of my life👍. God bless you!

My father has Parkinson's. There's no cure and even if there was, he's 81 so he probably wouldn't benefit from it. Whilst I would never wish the condition on anyone, I am grateful that such a high-profile figure as Fox is doing so much to assist research in to it. I don't know if it's hereditary but it's something I may have to deal with myself one day.

Such a great actor and person,and still teaching people and thinking of others. Also good looking! My mother had this she last 9 years, my mom was going thru so many other things to that made her worry alot and she shook and moved constantly and couldnt sleep or stand up good. I really feel for Michael he is so brave, so proud of him! Praying for you Michael! I do know right before my mom died she fussed at us for waking her up, said she was with her mom in Heaven again and was told she would be with them again soon she was so happy and peaceful with a smile when she died.

Years ago my grandmother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and became part of the first Dopamine research. It helped her but it still was a part of her life that she learned to deal with. It was just a part of her happy 98 years.

You are very inspirational!! NEVER give up!! You have done more than anyone to help people than anyone!!

Thank you for being there!

Keep going michael. Keep fighting

Thank you for posting this. I do not have cable (& therefore, no CNN), but encouraged everyone I knew to watch this interview. Mr. Fox, you are an inspiration. Thank you for being a Champion to this cause.

“If you get caught up in the worst case scenario and it doesn’t happen you wasted your time. If you get caught up in the worst case scenario and it does happen, you lived it twice” -Michael J. Fox

I believe that one can have Parkinson's at an early age and don't even know it.

He brings me hope.

Michael J. Fox...what a PHENOMENAL MAN! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😊♥️ I LOVE his OPTIMISM!!! ♥️💕🌟💫✨

This interview impressed me greatly with Michaels cognizance of the condition and the way he expresses his viewpoint about it. I myself was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis over a decade ago. There are two different monsters but I must say I admire Michael's ability to roll with the punches. His optimism quite frankly blows my mind. If I were to choose a cure between Ms. and PD. I would choose PD. My symptoms are known as an invisible disease but there is nothing invisible about what PD does to a person. I sincerely hope did they find a cure or a very effective treatment for those who suffer from this particular monster.

Michael has come a long way and still has a long way to go.

Michael may have lost some control of his motor skills, but he certainly hasn't lost any of his intelligence and wisdom.

He has a wonderful attitude; he has managed it as well as it can be managed. He's an inspiration for all of us.

This is how you use your star status.

Thank you so much Michael ❤️

I was dx'd in Oct, 2002, but the onset date was set for 1994 due to conditions in my medical history and I have always admired that Michael has been the voice for PD. I've often read that he needs to do more, but everyone's struggle is there own. Each one of us develop PD with our own steps. Thank you.

Michael J. Fox was so great in the movie "Back to the future". I saw it as a young child and now I am 40 years old. Still one of my favorite movies rest of my life 🌼 🤗

This interview with Michael J Fox and Dr. Sanjay Gupta is honest, candid and hopeful, the best 40 minutes I've spent in a long time. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's a decade ago and have had a lot of time to study up on PD. Though the research thus far has created more questions than answers, the day will come when we understand the causes and effect s of parkinsonism and PD. That will begin a momentous era, not just for PD patients but for all who suffer from similar diseases. Keep Hope Alive!

Michael J Fox you are a true hero and inspiration! Thank you. Keep up with the work you've been doing. Best wishes, The SpeechAngel Team.

I got a bullseye rash from a tick bite in the early 1980’s between 1982 and 1984. In June 2013 I was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease. I was relieved to finally have an answer to what I was going through. Without the diagnosis I’d be dead now.

It may be 2018 as I’m watching this and I haven’t seen much of his movies or tv work. I don’t have to see the movies to know what a wonderful man he is. Now this is a man. I don’t know of anyone in my family with Parkinson’s disease so I could only imagine what all these people go through. Live everyday as though it were your last. We all only live once but if we do it right, once is enough. Dream as if you’ll live forever and live as if you’ll die today. I just wanted to spread kindness and inspiration. I’ll always remember the cute loveable American bulldog Chance voiced by Michael J. Fox. There are many people out there that are impossible to hate and then there are others to ruin all the fun for the innocent.

Michael you are truly amazing and as beautiful as ever, I was recently struck down by rheumatoid arthritis, I've held you in my mind through two years in which I was mostly bedbound, I hope I can follow your lead in gaining understanding for my disease, and I also feel that I'm very grateful for my life and will make the best of it, we can bounce back from this, it's not over yet, right? you have made a much bigger impact on so many people than we could have imagined as youths with your posters on our walls. much love to you and your family

@29:28 “My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance & in inverse proportion to my expectations.” - Michael J. Fox! ♥️ it!

We love you MJF you will always be an icon!

Michael is a compassionate soul to uplift hope for those with PD. I know people who have benefited from his research....just hope he gets benefit too. Absolutely LOVE ❤ his attitude! He's an Angel of Mercy 🫶.

He is so amazing and lovable ❤❤❤

Watching this on the 2 year mark this was uploaded. I hope his team finds a cure.

I am doing my best accepting Parkinson's has as a gift.

God bless him

Very sweet man and we all are proud of him for making us aware of Parkinsons disease ty🦉

I still admire him ❤❤

He's just wonderful.

GOOD MAN! “I don’t have morose conversations with anyone about anything!” ♥️♥️♥️ AWESOME!!! 😃 “Always looking up!” 😘😘

"5' 5" my (a__) foot. " Michael J. Fox is a giant. I thank God for him.

I was diagnosed at age 42. I don’t think the doctor wanted to use the word Parkinson so he said you have a cousin disease like Parkinson’s I had excellent fine motor skill until I started loosing control of my body. Like my body had a mind of it’s own. Then a patient refused to let me treat him because of my tremors. I was devastated. I was so proud of the fact that I was helping people. Then a UCONN doctor said so what my mother has tremors too. I was hurt badly. The tremors are on both sides of my body. Like you I have to wait for my meds to work to function. When I first noticed the tremors I tried really hard to will them away. I think maybe I did. I was stressed by this so called minor illness. Finally it got bad enough that objects went flying several feet across the room. People gave me these strange looks. I knew my meds we’re running low in my body. At church during time when we can light a candle of joy or concern I said let’s light an invisible candle because I’m afraid I might set the church on fire. That was just a couple of weeks ago I said publicly. I want help others and a difference in the lives of others too. I had to give up working on those teams where I used to make a difference ie trauma, emergency and code team and oncology. I guess I’m still grieving the of the joy of giving and sharing. I want to help. Please plug me into where I can help. Thanks. 😢

Michael Fox .....a bright, coureagous human being His honest, proactive efforts for PD is a blessing to all. Mr Fox's iconic courage straight up inspirational

Great video, we need to hear more from him !❤

when i was 42 ,i diagonosed parkinson disease .now i am 53 living with wife and 4 kids.i am fine with medicine

I hope one day we find cures for all. Watching someone suffering in front of you is truly heartbreaking

Michael, in your footsteps I follow. I am so grateful if I have to be on this same journey, that you are making sure I'm not alone and the world is gaining knowledge. Thank you

Babs, The reason Dr. Gupta asked that question is because there is no black and white positive test results on paper saying, Yes, Micheal, you have Parkinson's." My husband has 'Early Onset Parkinson's.' His first symptoms were in 1998 when he was 37 years old. He lost his sense of smell. By the time a person has a symptom, or symptoms, they have lost 80 to 90% of the dopamine in their brain. It's been difficult because his dad passed away from it, and he knows how he will pass away.

EXCELLENT INTERVIEW. MICHAEL J FOX HAS BEATEN HIS PARKINSONISM WITH HIS SHEER GRIT AND DETERMINATION. HE IS AN INSPIRATION FOR SO MANY ORDINARY PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON'S BY HIGHLIGHTING THE DISEASE ON T.V. THEREBY ENCOURAGING FOCUS OF RESEARCHERS AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS ON FINDING A CURE FOR THIS NON-TERMINAL YET DEBILITATING ILLNESS. KUDOS TO MICHAEL J FOX. GOD BLESS HIM.

Excellent report. Michael remember it is not what you use to be but what you have become now. And as we all can see you are a person that can branch and reach so many people than you use to. Look forward don't look back like the rear view mirror if you keep looking back seeing what you were before you will crash. Thanks Michael for all your help.

Dear, sweet Michael. You are an amazing man. We love you and your family. God bless you all.

Although not really relevant to this, I noticed that there aren't as many comments/followers as I would have expected there to be. Especially since this brilliant sincere person has without a doubt, had a huge impact on us for the last 30 years and to use his fame to further promote the struggle that people who have this very debilitating disease need our help

I love these videos my husband has PD he's 55 and has it for 10 yrs now.I'm praying for a cure!

Absolutely love Michael j fox love always back in the future big fan always remembered him and all the TV shows he did he's just one remarkable actor and I think he's doing a great job with this foundation and trying to find a cure for this thank you.

My friend has just been diagnosed. He is fortunate that he is late sixties. Yet he goes through the acceptance stage that I went through with incurable cancer, a horrible experience, he broke down telling me about it. MJF has done a brilliant job with his foundation. Such a great actor and a lovely person.

What a guy

An angel.

Michael gives a voice and a visual understanding of PD. He and his family give us an understanding of just how difficult the diagnosis is when the answers are not available or even affordable for the scientific world. The fact is if it's not seen as profitable, then no one is interested in finding those answers. It takes donated money. And let's face it, not many were seeing PD until Micheal showed us the face of the disease. He and his family are truly fighting for millions of lives, both now and long after we are all gone.

I'm not a Dr but I'm still here!!!

I've got a story for you. I woke up early one morning and I left for a location where I thought I would get the best shot of a beautiful sunrise. Due to my PD, I was stumbling and falling down while trying to navigate through the ditch. All of a sudden, cops and a sheriff pulled up and approached me and said they had calls coming in that there was a drunk guy in the ditch. I laughed and said that it was PD and I pulled out a card from my neurologist that proved it. No matter, they ignored me and made we walk the line and take a breathalyzer test, which of course came back negative. They apologized but I had the feeling they had a car trail me anyway. By the way, I have a 100 percent clean driving record, no DUI's and never had a ticket. Thanks for all you do Michael. It was a pleasure meeting you in the hayfield in North Dakota a few years ago Keep up the great work!! Hope you are doing well.

So strong ♥️

Legend

Michael JFOX is such a inspiration to others I have to love his optimism and great efforts to help.others in finding a cure. Love you Michael JFOX! God bless him.

I was just diagnosed 6 weeks ago when I noticed I could not keep a beat with my hand and my R arm wasn't swinging anymore when I walked. I had RLS all my life so they just upped my RLS meds. I just finished reading MJF's book and it helped me but most of all it's his courage in fighting the good fight for us afflicted with PD. I've been an athlete my whole life and I find it ironic that I have something that affects my motion. As MJ says, the science has overtaken the funding.

I wish there will be another book

Wonderful guy.

Thank you so much for or your service Gary.

So hard watching people suffer. I wish I could lay hands on him and pray for him in Jesus name.

I have Parkinson's. Please pray for a cure.

Thanks so much for your information.

You are a remarkable man Michael J Fox.

I think that him talking about this is so important and I love that he visits and speaks with others who are diagnosed my grandma had a mild form of it but it drove her crazy and she was diagnosed so late

I was diagnosed with PD around 12 years ago, and had DBS within two months (essential tremors had been the original Dx being treated, when opted for DBS, further tests to rule out PD finally found three of the four cardinal symptoms). in 2021 my MDS had me do a DAT screen to make sure I actually do have PD and results came up with PD still. Michael J Fox Foundation has been a great source of information.and I participate in the Fox Insight research as well as get a search feed for research articles on PD. Most importantly, I exercise with Power for Parkinson’s (based in Austin Texas), both in person and through their KZfaq channel. This might help explain why my progression has been slow - I had prodromal symptoms since teen years, but fortunately do not have one of the two or three genetic variations that cause early onset. Also, I’ve got a great care partner who says “ I love you” even when she complains about me. Without her support and help, I couldn’t do what I want to do as much as I would like.

I’ve always liked you! God bless!

Your a strong man with a gift.

We have tried them for practically any illnesses and it surely worked.

“Deal and move forward.” amen.

Dang , You Still got it going on , Michael! I think it’s so nice a wonderful love story you wife’s the rock that you have yet your her boulder that strengthens her to Be your rock ! God bless your life family and I pray for a cure ! Thank you for your continued support and faith for those who are going through this storm, definitely sad but amazing to be able to know and see how and what faith and strength looks like in the midst of a storm . We love ya ! Stay strong and safe I’m know you will . You give so many people hope may God bless you for that alone - good man ! Roll on !

Makes my heart hurt

Looks? Michael has looks to spare. Intelligence as well. I'm sure he realizes that so many who are dealing w/ Parkinson's also deal with poverty.

You lose and gain friends having Parkinson's.

Michael J Fox, is a remarkable person, for putting himself out there to advance awareness of PD. In addition he is a great actor. Stay Strong Michael!!

We lost my stepfather a few years ago. He committed suicide after battling Parkinson’s for years. Please watch over your loved ones this takes a massive emotional toll.

Heartbreaking
