<p>Legendary NFL quarterback Brett Favre revealed during a congressional hearing this week that he has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson&#8217;s disease.</p>
<p>The Hall of Fame quarterback made the revelation during testimony in front of the House Ways and Means Committee while discussing Prevacus, a company making a concussion drug that improperly received millions of dollars of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds from the Mississippi Department of Human Services.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sadly, I also lost an investment in a company that I believed was developing a breakthrough concussion drug I thought would help others,&#8221; Favre said during opening remarks. &#8220;And I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll understand why it&#8217;s too late for me, because I&#8217;ve recently been diagnosed with Parkinson&#8217;s. This is also a cause dear to my heart.&#8221;</p>

<p>Parkinson&#8217;s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that gets worse over time and impacts a patient&#8217;s mind and body.</p>
<p>While the disease starts slowly and symptoms may be mild or barely visible to others, they progress over time and can include tremors, slowed movement, rigid muscles, difficulty with balance, loss of automatic movements, changes with speech, memory problems, changes in handwriting, depression, anxiety, sleep problems, digestive issues, fatigue, and more.</p>

<p>He played in &#8220;a record 299 consecutive games, posted totals of 6,300 completions, 10,169 attempts, 71,838 yards, and 508 touchdowns in his 302-game NFL career,&#8221; according to the <a href="https://www.profootballhof.com/players/brett-favre/">Pro Football Hall of Fame</a>.</p>
