Rebecca King Crews Opens Up About Secretly Battling Parkinson's Disease and New Hopeful Treatment Rebecca King Crews, wife of actor Terry Crews, has been living with Parkinson's disease for over 16 years. She first noticed symptoms in 2012, including numbness in her left foot and a noticeable tremor. After seeking multiple referrals, she was diagnosed in 2015. For years, she kept her diagnosis private to avoid pity. However, after struggling with worsening symptoms, she underwent a groundbreaking treatment known as focused ultrasound, a non-invasive procedure approved by the FDA. This new therapy has brought her significant relief, allowing her to regain motor functions she had lost, such as writing with her right hand after several years. Despite the challenges, Rebecca remains hopeful for the future and believes this treatment represents the start of finding a cure. Terry Crews has supported his wife throughout the ordeal, describing their battle with Parkinson’s as a shared journey. He remains optimistic about the possibilities this new treatment brings for the millions of people affected by Parkinson's disease.

Morning light catches the delicate pink petals of a group of Tulips planted in a pot in a garden. The background of green planting in borders, wood fence and trees is blurred in portrait mode. Camera: Canon EOS400D digital.

The Tulips I planted in November to coincide with Parkinson’s Awareness Week that begins next Sunday are looking good. I just hope these pink Van Eyck beauties last until then.

"One surprising result was that the earliest signs of damage didnt appear in neurons but in glial cells. ...cells began swelling, detaching from nearby neurons, and showing signs of distress. We tied this to accum of a fat molecule called glucosylceramide (GlcCer) in glial lysosomes.”
