Liz Jackson and Parkinson’s Disease

Date 2016-11-21

The journalist from Four Corners, Liz Jackson, is talking about her battle with Parkinson’s disease. In fact, revealing to the public her condition has helped her cope with it. In the beginning, she hid the disease from her family but now realizes that opening up is much better for everyone.

 

She finds that being straight up about the impact the disease is having is making a big difference in coming to terms with it. Jackson was very concerned in the very beginning about how people would think of her and if she would be able to deal with questions.

 

Jackson and her partner, Martin Butler, did an interview with Richard Glover to talk about the disease. Jackson went into the shock of being diagnosed to the many unexpected symptoms they deal with on a daily basis, even what's down the road.

 

The feminine name Liz is the short form of Elizabeth, which is from Elisabet the Greek version of the Hebrew name Elisheva that means “my God is an oath” or maybe “my God is abundance”. The name Elizabeth, Liz and its many other spellings have been popular in England since the 16th century and the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.

 

The name has since been given to many other European royals, even a Russian empress in the 18th century. There are many notable people with the name from the British queen Elizabeth the II to the actress Elizabeth Taylor, even Liz Balmaseda the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.
