Nigeria’s First Lady, Patience Jonathan, is battling an onset of
Parkinson’s disease that has complicated her recovery from a surgical
procedure in Germany, several reliable sources have disclosed to
SaharaReporters.
SaharaReporters broke the news that Mrs. Jonathan was flown to a
hospital in Wiesbaden, Germany close to a month ago to undergo emergency
treatment after a botched procedure in Dubai.
In interviews with three sources familiar with Mrs.
Jonathan’s health status, SaharaReporters learnt that the Nigerian
president’s wife is beset by Parkinson’s disease, a degenerative
syndrome. The disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system. A
medical source described it as “a fairly common disorder that occasions
degeneration of the nervous system.” The source added that the disease
leads to “progressive impairment and disorder of movement.” An online
medical site notes that Parkinson’s “is characterized by progressive
loss of muscle control, which leads to trembling of the limbs and head
while at rest, stiffness, slowness, and impaired balance. As symptoms
worsen, it may become difficult to walk, talk, and complete simple
tasks.”
The bombshell revelation about the First Lady’s medical woes was first
made by a source familiar with Mrs. Jonathan’s previous secret
treatments in Spain and Italy. The source disclosed that Mrs. Jonathan
had battled Parkinson’s for some years now. In addition, doctors had
advised her to “do something urgent about her morbid body mass index
(BMI),” said the source. She added that Mrs. Jonathan had indeed
considered undergoing the kind of tummy tuck procedure that former
Governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha once had.
Two other sources close to the Jonathans confirmed that the First Lady
has been dogged by Parkinson’s. One said the disease was largely
responsible for her clumsiness, drawling speech and slow movement at
public events. He added that Mrs. Jonathan has been suffering serious
trembling in the left hand. “That’s why she always uses her right to
hold the microphone when speaking at public events,” the source
revealed. Mrs. Jonathan also reportedly is affected by stiffness of the
limbs and trunk which affects her movement.
A news staffer at the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) told
SaharaReporters that Mrs. Jonathan’s aides warned reporters covering her
never to film her beyond her waist. “Her senior personal assistant told
the crew covering her long ago: ‘Don’t ever film Madam’s waist. Show
her face only.’ That’s been the code at NTA.”
Two of our sources stated that Mrs. Jonathan had made efforts to slow
the disease that had started to ravage her. “She has been visiting a
health farm in Italy on a regular basis since 2010,” one source
revealed. “To alleviate her pain, she has been taking her medication
religiously.”
A friend of Mrs. Jonathan’s said that the First Lady’s health maladies
include anxiety, occasional memory loss and disorientation. In addition,
her blood pressure often rises to dangerous levels, forcing her to take
a cocktail of anti-hypertensive drugs.
Also, our sources said that some officials attached to the First Lady’s
office described her as constantly depressed, prone to snapping at
people at the slightest provocation. “The First Lady can just get angry
at the slightest provocation and rain abuses at anybody in sight,” he
said.

I was often asked did I hurt.I noticed nothing different about my walk. It was difficult getting up from a chair and getting out of a car.

I was diagnosed in November 2007 with Parkinson's Disease. I have left side tremors, balance and gait issues and some non-motor symptoms: quiet voice, some cognitive decline, small handwriting. I am currently on Sinemet for tremors and Cymbalta for neuropathy related to diabetes and previous chemotherapy. It was on my 25th anniversary of surviving breast cancer that I got the PD diagnosis. I am 69, retired, single woman sharing a house with my sister. I like to read, quilt, and crochet. I have been reading up on PD. Until I read too much and it scares me. Then I put it away until I calm down and can research it some more. I need advice and some direction. I searched further, visited Parkinson’s websites, blogs. I find info about someone having the same symptoms. I was really determined. Fortunately for me, I stumbled on a testimony of someone who had Parkinson’s for several years and was cured through Herbal medication. I read awesome stories of people whose condition were worse. I was not a fan of Herbal Medication, because I once believed that they have not researched it enough. But due to numerous testimonies I was more than willing to try it…. I contacted Dr. Fabien, and I purchased the medicine and used just the way doctor instructed. Its a thing of joy to come back and make my review.. It became a miracle for me within 7 months. The herbal medication worked without any trace of side effects on I’m…. totally free. I have been cured for Parkinson’s. I was a shocking experience with the medicine. I never knew I will be free for Parkinson’s disease. Email dr.fabiencontantin@gmail.com or www.kunimeherbs.com
