>Rush Limbaugh tried to claim that Michael J Fox was faking the severity of his symptoms

As I recall Rush claimed Michael didn't take his medicine for a couple days. All for the "evil" cause of getting more funding for a degenerative disease that affects over a million people. God, Limbaugh was such a piece of garbage. Even if true, Michael was just showing the real impact of the disease. Rush was caught pushing so many lies in his career for attention I can't even start the list. Fox, meanwhile, remains respected by everyone who has come in contact with him.

Watch them again. He does not look 83. He looks like a 50 year old in bad old man makeup in part 1 for 10 minutes, then he looks 45 for the rest of the movie. In part 2 they have him literally peel off his bad old man makeup and just say “Well, I got a futuristic facelift” and he looks 50 for the rest of the trilogy.

I got to see that appearance last night. It was amazing.

It’s sad to see Michael struggle. But he emphasized that as tough as it is, he looks at his ailment as a sort of blessing. His foundation has allowed for a lot of support toward the disease. His ability to help others with his voice is one of his proudest achievements.

He also spent so much time talking about how great Lloyd is. It was so sweet.

Maybe not, I just hope he’s tried it, it’s not a conventional medicine still even though it can do amazing stuff. A guy at work I know tried every medicine for his daughters seizures and nothing worked until CBD

Edit: should’ve added he never even tried or considered CBD until I told him about it. So fuck off

Having listened to MJF’s books it really puts into perspective the Hell that poor man has been through. He had a tumor on his spinal cord, that only one surgeon that would even attempt to try to remove it. Also how Parkinson’s affects everything, the little things like how to walk, the automatic things of your feet moving and pivoting along with your knees ect that goes away, so to walk you have to mentally think of every movement every joint ect. MJF’s foundation has come up with many treatments and things to help others with Parkinson’s
