I am sure that I am not alone in in my 1970s crush on Alan Alda as Dr. Hawkeye Pierce on the hit TV show "M*A*S*H". Alda like the rest of us has aged, he is now 84 years old. He's been married for 63 years to his wife Arlene. Quite a record for a Hollywood actor.
In 2018 Alda told the world that he had Parkinson's Disease on "CBS This Morning, it was a brave announcement and a message of hope to people with Parkinson's. He has always maintained a positive attitude. He said to the Daily News “... in the very beginning, to be immobilized by fear and think the worst thing has happened to you, it hasn’t happened to you. You still have things you can do.” Parkinson's hasn't slowed him down - he still plays tennis and boxes. He has incorporated his own battle with Parkinson's into his recent movies such as "A Marriage Story". The American Parkinson Disease Association is a treasure trove of information and resources about Parkinsons.
Here is a delightful short video about "why we love Alan" created by AARP.

He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality.

He is now almost 51…
I have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease since 2010, by the VA. I found that none of the current medications worked (side effects for me). I currently take pramipexole dihydrochloride three times daily. It isn’t working well neither. I still have some tremors. Was on carbidopa levodopa but only lasted 90 minutes then wore off. Down side of carbidopa is after reaching max dosage it will no longer give relief, nothing was working for me and to make matters worse there has been little if any progress in finding a reliable medical treatment for Parkinson's disease without spending thousands of $, finally this year I was introduced to Health Herbs Clinic and their effective Parkinson’s herbal protocol. This protocol relieved…
I was around 58 when my thumb started giving me problems. As time passed i had other symptoms; hand tremors, restless sleep, muscle weakness, cognitive decline, voice spasm, stiff achy right arm and ankle. At 60 i was diagnose of PARKINSONS DISEASE, i was on Carbidopa and Pramipexole for two years, they helped alot but not for long.
