A well-known UK TV presenter, Jeremy Paxman, had no idea he had Parkinson’s disease, but a doctor watching him at home on TV picked it in one.
According to Mr Paxman, the doctor had apparently noted his facial expressions were no longer as “exuberant” as they usually were and had taken on ‘Parkinson’s mask’.
