Paul Sinha and his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease

Many of his fans and fellow co-stars were not aware that Paul Sinha, the Asian-British comedian of Bengali descent was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease last month.

Hence Paul shared this new but sad news with his social media friends and followers. Paul might have taken some time to come to terms with his new disease.

He wrote a long blog post:

“On the evening of Thursday May 30th, an experienced consultant neurologist calmly informed me that I had Parkinson’s disease.
“It was a devastating denouement to a medical odyssey that began in September 2017 with a sudden-onset, frozen right shoulder, and took in an unexpected diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a lifestyle transformation that enabled me to lose two stone, and a shoulder operation in January this year.”

He had to cancel his professional commitments due to his medical appointments. Paul was in New Zealand and wondered why his right-sided limp was getting worse. He added:

“Behind the facade of the cheerful, late-night comedy festival drunk was a man deeply scared about facing the truth when back in the UK.”

More updates on the disease from Paul Sinha

Talking about his disease and the effect of the diagnosis on him, Paul mentioned that it had been the most difficult 2 weeks of his life. But still, he considers himself lucky since he has a milder form of the disease now. Others, he said, had it worse.

Paul, 49 tweeted:

“Whatever the next stage of my life holds for me, many others have it far worse,”

However, he gave positive vibes when he added:

“I will fight this with every breath I have,”

His doctors have made a new treatment plan for him and he is now prepared to accept and face the challenges that come ahead of him.

Paul Sinha and the talk on his further life

Paul stated:

“I intend to keep Chasing, keep writing and performing comedy [and] keep quizzing”

Paul appears on The Chase, is a comedian, and is also a quizzer. But Paul has realized that he would not be able to do work of precisions and hence joked:

“To appear on Dancing on Ice is probably out of the question.”

Paul does not want people to have pity on him or to express sympathy for him. He made it clear:

“A lot of people have asked ‘What can I do to help? The answer is to treat me exactly the same as before.”
