Michael Häupl breaks his silence: Parkinson's made public!

In a moving interview with ORF, the former Mayor of Vienna made his Parkinson's diagnosis public. In the "At Budgen" interview series, Häupl revealed that he received the devastating message about nine months ago. "I know the souls of some Viennese who say: Now he trembles because he has drunk too much. He found that the trembling of his right hand caused him to see a neurologist where the disease was diagnosed.

The news about his illness came with mixed feelings - his doctor also received positive aspects: "The bad thing is: you have Parkinson's. The two are good: they won't die from the disease and they won't be foolish." The ex-politician, who was a symbol for the SPÖ in Vienna, explained that he did not need any medication for the time being. His therapy mainly consists of movement and sport, and he uses a trembling ball to strengthen his muscles, a creative approach to coping with the challenge. The details of his diagnosis are a dramatic turning point in his life story, and its openness promotes awareness of the disease, as well as the reporting of wien.orf.at emphasized.

Although he has to deal with a chronic illness, Häupl remains optimistic. His attitude and determination to deal with the disease are examples of strength and courage that many can inspire. As he said himself: "I don't need a speaker", it is important to deal with the truth openly and to promote awareness, such as Exxpress.at and wien.orf.at note.
