Rock On Billy!

I was very impressed with Billy Connoly's stance with his fight with parkinsons, saying "don't let parkinsons take control". He must be an inspiration to a lot of people!.
I saw the recent tv series 'Tracks across America' and he was coping remarkably well, even managing to play his beloved banjo!

If its not breaking any data protection laws, I would be interested to know what form of medication he is taking, apart from his own dogged determination.

I have no idea about Connolly, but deep-brain stimulation can be almost miraculous for Parkinson's

Yes he did very well considering, and have always admired him as a stand-up & as an actor.

I suppose this will probably be his last documentary, and would imagine that they took their time filming/making it, compared to his other ones.

Its amazing where/how the researchers find these unusual places, like the swap-shop radio station, all that Elvis stuff, the burger bar Sally something, and 3ft hot-dogs, really funny & interesting.

Says in this link that he doesn't need Parkinson's medication, it's to mild for that.
But this link is from August 2014.
