I major in the rigidity and stiffness.’The Green Bay Packers icon continued: ‘So, when I wake up in the morning before I take my medicine, I’m as close to a 2 by 4 as you could possibly get. And once I take my medicine, it’s like the muscles and the joints kind of ease their grip on me.’When I get fatigued, mainly toward the end of the day, I do shake a little bit. My cognitive memory – part of it, right now it’s OK.’As you well know, there’s no cure. I hear from time to time, “Well, they’re five years away from a cure.” I hope that that’s the case. But I’m not holding my breath.’
