Ozzy has Parkinsons :(

[irocfan]

Heard last night that Ozzy has Parkinsons

[FWIW]

Sad.

I’m most amazed that his shakes and general dodderyness for the last couple of decades weren’t down to Parkinson’s!

What the heck has he put his body through to become such a reck?

(Yes I know, copious amounts of drink and drugs but still!)

Apparently this was known as he announced it in his bio years ago, according to what i've read on reddit.

As someone who's father suffers from parkinson's, it was evident Ozzy had it from the moment he appeared on his reality show back in the day. The slurred speech, shuffling, stiffness, all clear indicators. The tremors that most people associated with parkinson's are more a result of the meds than the disorder itself, and the mental (non motor) symptoms are a far greater impact to daily comfort and quality of life than the tremors.

It's a fking horrible disorder. Watching someone you love who was once so strong and powerful go downhill and become frail is absolutely soul destroying. I'm actually getting upset writing this. fk parkinsons.

He's had it for years, it was obvious in the way he moved and held himself.

If you read his book you'll be amazed he's made it this far! The amount of booze and drugs he shovelled in himself over the years!
