NFL legend Brett Favre offered an update on his ongoing battle with Parkinson\u2019s disease<\/a> on Monday during the latest episode of his podcast.<\/p>\n

Favre revealed in September 2024 he was diagnosed with the illness<\/a> as he testified in front of Congress about welfare reform. Since then, he\u2019s kept his battle with the disease close to the vest.<\/p>\n

As he talked about Philip Rivers coming back to play in the NFL at 44, Favre believed he could have played at least one series until he was about 50. Favre said he was working out rigorously until he began dealing with his health battle.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m probably like most people \u2013 I thought there was just one Parkinson\u2019s and that was it. There\u2019s not. There\u2019s multiple, many forms of Parkinson\u2019s,” he said on “4th and Favre.”<\/a> “And I have what\u2019s called idiopathic, which is the most common. And I think the other thing most people think when they hear of Parkinson\u2019s is they think of shaking.<\/p>\n

“I get from time to time, \u2018Oh you must not be too bad because you don\u2019t shake.\u2019 I have very little shaking. I have some, but it\u2019s pretty rare. But as I\u2019ve learned, the Parkinson\u2019s that I have has three different characteristics. One of those three you\u2019ll have as the dominant side effect. It\u2019s cognitive and memory is one. Shaking and tremors is two. And rigidity and stiffness is three. I major in the rigidity and stiffness.”<\/p>\n

The former Green Bay Packers star said he wakes up stiff until he takes his medication.<\/p>\n

“So, when I wake up in the morning before I take my medicine, I\u2019m as close to a 2 by 4 as you could possibly get. And once I take my medicine, it\u2019s like the muscles and the joints kind of ease their grip on me. When I get fatigued, mainly toward the end of the day, I do shake a little bit. My cognitive memory \u2013 part of it, right now it\u2019s OK. As you well know, there\u2019s no cure. I hear from time to time, \u2018Well, they\u2019re five years away from a cure.\u2019 I hope that that\u2019s the case. But I\u2019m not holding my breath.”<\/p>\n

Favre, 56, played in the NFL<\/a> from 1991 to 2010. He was with the Packers, Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings in those 20 years.<\/p>\n

He passed for 71,838 yards and 508 touchdown passes. He won one Super Bowl title with the Packers.<\/p>\n
