Michael J. Fox's Personal Battle

Michael J. Fox and his wife, Tracy Pollan, reveal how Parkinson's has affected their marriage.
Since her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's 18 years ago, Tracy says their marriage has changed…in a good way. "When we were first married, he was so busy working all the time," she says. "So, in some ways, it's made him a lot more available."

Even when he's symptomatic, Michael says his wife sees past the shaking and physical challenges. "She sees who I am, and she likes me as much as she ever liked me," he says. "We have a sense of humor about life, and we enjoy life. We feel every day that we're so blessed."
