During his testimony to congress regarding welfare reform, Brett Favre revealed his recent diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, linking it indirectly to his NFL career.
I lost an investment in a company that I believed was developing a breakthrough concussion drug I thought would help others, and I’m sure you’ll understand why it’s too late for me, because I've recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's.”
Parkinson’s disease is a brain disorder that affects muscle control and can lead to tremors and difficulties in core body functions such as speaking and swallowing.
While Favre did not specify whether concussions were connected to his Parkinson’s diagnosis, he has acknowledged suffering hundreds of concussions throughout his NFL career.
