Brett Favre was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in January after he began having trouble using his right arm and was unable to hold a screwdriver
Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre appears before the House Committee on Ways and Means on Capitol Hill, Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2024, in Washington.
“I felt my arm, the strength was there, but I could not guide it,” he told TMZ Sports. “And it was the most frustrating thing.” Favre said one of his doctors told him people typically show more effects of the disease by the time they are diagnosed. Favre, who does not face criminal charges in the welfare case, has repaid just over $1 million in speaking fees funded by a welfare program in the state. He also said he had been an investor in a biotech company with ties to the case. The biotech firm has said it was developing concussion treatments.
