He was originally diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s disease; however, last April, his PSP condition was confirmed. The family appreciates all prayers at this time,\u201d Rainbow\/PUSH said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>According to Johns Hopkins, PSP is easily mistaken for Parkinson\u2019s disease, with the second being more common. Both conditions cause slowing of movements, tremors, falls, and stiffness, as well as shuffling of the feet. Also, Parkinson\u2019s and PSP can cause changes in memory.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, Jesse Jackson revealed he had Parkinson\u2019s. At the time, he said he had noticed first symptoms \u201cabout tree years ago\u201d with motor system disorder, which he attempted to work through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut as my daily physical struggles intensified, I could no longer ignore the symptoms, so I acquiesced,\u201d Jackson wrote in a statement in 2017. \u201cAfter a battery of tests, my physicians identified the issue as Parkinson\u2019s disease, a disease that bested my father. Recognition of the effects of this disease on me has been painful, and I have been slow to grasp the gravity of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cFor me, a Parkinson\u2019s diagnosis is not a stop sign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rev.
