>>VIC MICOLUCCI: FORMER JAGUARS COACH TOM KAAN FLYNN IS RAISING AWARENESS FOR AN INCURABLE
DISORDER. HE SAYS HIS WIFE JUDY
WAS DIAGNOSED LAST YEAR WITH
PROGRESSIVE SUPER A NUCLEAR
PALSY IT’S A BRAIN DISORDER
THAT AFFECTS A PERSON’S ABILITY
TO WALK SPEAK THINK AND CONTROL
THEIR
BODY MOVEMENTS. HE SAYS
SYMPTOMS BEGAN 4 YEARS AGO AND
HIS WIFE’S CONDITION HAS
SLOWLY DETERIORATED
TO DISCUSS THIS. LET’S BRING IN
BAPTIST HEALTH NEUROLOGIST
DOCTOR POOJA SHOE LEE’S.
THANK YOU FOR COMING ON THIS
CERTAINLY SAD NEWS FOR A LOT OF
PEOPLE WHO NOT ONLY KNOW TOM
COFFIN BUT HIS FAMILY HIS WIFE
HERE IN THE COMMUNITY AND
CERTAINLY WHEN THIS CAME OUT
THAT HIS WIFE JUDY WAS DEALING
WITH THIS A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE
HEARTBROKEN.
>> ABSOLUTELY YEAH THANK YOU
FOR
HAVING ME. SO DOC TELL US HOW
RARE IS THIS DISEASE.
>> AND SO IT’S ACTUALLY PRETTY
AS FAR AS THE DISEASE IS
GOING GENERAL. BUT WE DO SEE IT
PRETTY OFTEN AND THEN THE ROLLA
G PLAY I WOULD SAY ABOUT
OUT OF EVERY
100,000 PEOPLE. ONE PERSON
DEVELOPS THE
S P EVERY YEAR THE BEST BUY AND
PAUL R AROUND PRESENT.
AND SOCIETY IN GENERAL BY THE 100,000 PEOPLE SO PRETTY RARE BUT WE STILL SEE
IN FRONT.
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: AND WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT NEUROLOGICAL AND
THIS IS A COUPLE COME TO MIND
RIGHT PARKINSON’S ALZHEIMER’S,
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE HERE.
>> SO THAT’S THE VERY SIMILAR
IN SOME WAYS AND A VERY
DIFFERENT AND SOME
OTHER RACE. AND THE WAY THAT
THE DISEASE IS IS VERY SIMILAR
TO ALZHEIMER’S
DISEASE. THERE’S ONE CERTAIN
MILEAGE TO AND FRO TEAM ON THE
FIELD AND
THAT RAIN. STARTS TO DEVELOP
AND BUILD UP AND THAT TALKS A
CITY STARTS TO KILL THE BRAIN
CELLS. ONE BRAIN CELL AT A
TIME. UNTIL THE RACE STARTS
TO SHRINK. UNDEVELOPED
ABNORMALITIES AND THINKING
WE’RE MOVEMENT WAS WALKING.
SO THAT’S VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT
HAPPENS IN 1000 YEARS DISEASE.
BUT POLITICALLY AND LOOKS VERY
SIMILAR TO PARKINSON’S.
VERY SIMILAR THING WAS THAT
ARKANSAS TOO BUT ALZHEIMER’S IS
MORE MEMORY RELATED PROBLEMS
AND BUT PARKINSON’S IS
MORE PHYSICAL PROBLEMS THAT MOMENTUM CORONATION WALKING. SO A BIT
OF BOTH.
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: AND FINALLY A
LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE
WATCHING THIS WONDERING WHAT
ARE THE WARNING SIGNS I WANT TO
BE ABLE TO LOOK OUT FOR THIS IN
MY LOVED ONES.
>> TYPICALLY THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENS IN THE NATION WITH ESPN IS A PROBLEMS WITH IT
WALKING SO THEY HAVE
WELLS. AND MY MOTHER
AND FATHER VERY CLEVELAND THING
THAT HAPPENS TO A LOT OF US AS
WE AGE BUT SPECIFICALLY WITH
THE S P THIS IS NOT A CREDIBLE
POSTURE
THEY ACTUALLY BEND THEIR BACKS
BACKWARD AND THEY HAD A PORT SO
THEY END UP FALLING BACKWARDS
AND THAT HAPPENS
VERY FREQUENTLY AND
THEN OVER YEARS IS A
PROGRESSIVE DISEASE THAT’S THE
FIRST HEAT AND THE S P
PROGRESSES SO VERY SLOW.
IF YOU’RE RACING
OVER TIME. THEY START TO
DEVELOP PROBLEMS THAT
SPECIFICALLY THERE I WAS NOT SO
THEY WON’T BE ABLE TO LOOK UP.
WE’RE LOOKING DOWN JUST USING
THEIR EYES. AND IF YOU ALREADY
HAVE
PROBLEMS LEAD WALKING AND
YOU’RE UNABLE TO LOOK DOWN AT
THE GROUND TO SEE WHERE
YOU’RE WALKING THAT
UNFORTUNATELY DOES NOT MEAN
MORE FALLS AND FALLS CALL
INJURY. RIGHT AND IT’S
BREAKING LEGS. I KIND OF GOES
DOWN FROM THERE IN ADDITION
TO THAT. DAY THEY’RE NOT
SLOW MOVEMENTS AND I’M CERTAIN
PERSON AT THE END OF 8 YEARS
OLD THIS.
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: DOCTOR PSU
LEAST THANK YOU FOR COMING ON
REPRESENTING BAPTIST HEALTH
CERTAINLY THIS MORNING. OUR
