Johnson Space Center Flight Medicine Clinic. The words from the flight surgeon were as expected: I was in great condition with nothing of note. Then I asked the doctor to look at my right shoulder because my racquetball game was suffering.</p> <p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph3">He asked if I had pain. I told him I wasn't in pain, but my right arm did not swing naturally when I walked. This comment must have set off some alarm, because he observed my walk down the hall and quickly said he would take me downtown to the Texas Medical Center the next day.</p> <p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph4">I remember saying, "I don't believe we can see an orthopedic surgeon that quickly."

The neurologist spent five minutes with me before saying that I had <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130511214749/http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/parkinsons-disease/DS00295" target="_blank">Parkinson's disease</a>. He added I would have to undergo several separate tests to prove that I didn't have some other neurological disorder. Parkinson's disease is diagnosed by the process of eliminating other possible diseases.</p> <p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph6">After several tests, the diagnosis was confirmed. This was December 1995.</p> <p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph7"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130511214749/http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/04/17/the-beat-goes-on-for-music-producer-diagnosed-with-multiple-sclerosis/">Beat goes on for music producer diagnosed with multiple sclerosis</a></p> <p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph8">To their credit, the flight surgeons asked me what I wanted to do about flying. I quickly said I wanted to continue with all activities, including standing in line for another space shuttle mission.</p> <p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph9">I kept my condition a secret to all, except my wife and my children. I assumed senior NASA management were told, but no one ever spoke to me about the disease. They protected my privacy.</p> <p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph10">I continued my normal duties and was subsequently offered my third shuttle mission -- STS-76, which included a planned space walk. The mission was highly successful. One year after that mission, I left NASA for a job in the private sector supporting human space flight.</p> <p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph11">With the exception of my closest friends and family, I kept my condition a secret for almost 15 years. My reason for secrecy was simple: People did not need to know.</p> <p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph12">Now I'm an advocate for Parkinson's disease awareness. Having Parkinson's disease is no reason to stop living life to its fullest extent. Yes, as the disease progresses I have had to change the way I do certain activities, but I continue to do them.</p> <p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph13">I have a keen awareness now of the stress my disease places on my loved ones who provide me encouragement and tender loving care. The caregivers to a person with Parkinson's are the people who give so much of their lives to care for a loved one. My wife is my caregiver and I am acutely aware of her sacrifices. Parkinson's disease affects more than just the patient. The patient needs to understand the caregiver is there to help.</p> <p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph14">So do not let Parkinson's disease control your life. You may do things slower, or you may not be able to do things you once did as easily. It is not the end of the world. Do not give up trying.</p> <p class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph15"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130511214749/http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/14/8-year-old-writes-book-on-hearing-loss/">8-year-old writes book on hearing loss</a></p> <script type="text/javascript">if(typeof CNN.expElements==='object'){CNN.expElements.init();}</script> <p class="cnn_strycbftrtxt"></p>   <div class="cnn_stryshrwdgtbtm"> <div id="cnn_sharebar2"> <div class="c_sharebar_cntr c_sharebar_loading"> <div class="cnn_stryswdgtbtm1"> <div class="cnn_stryswdgtbtm1a"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130511214749/http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/03/health/human-factor-clifford/index.html#disqus_thread">0</a></div> <div class="cnn_stryswdgtbtm1b"><a href="#cnn-disqus-area">Comments »</a></div> </div> <div class="cnn_stryswdgtbtm2"> <div class="c_sharebtmcol1"> <div class="c_sharetitle">SHARE THIS</div> <div class="c_sharebtns"> <ul> <li class="c_sharebtn c_sharebtnfb"><a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="cnnsocial.share.click('cnn_sharebar2', 'facebook');"></a></li> <li class="c_sharebtn c_sharebtntwtr"><a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="cnnsocial.share.click('cnn_sharebar2', 'twitter');"></a></li> <li class="c_sharebtn c_sharebtngplus"><a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="cnnsocial.share.click('cnn_sharebar2', 'googleplus');"></a></li> <li class="c_sharebtn c_sharebtnlnkn"><a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="cnnsocial.share.click('cnn_sharebar2', 'linkedin');"></a></li> </ul> <div class="cnn_clear"></div> </div> </div> <div class="c_sharebtmdiv"></div> <div class="c_sharebtmcol2"> <div class="fb-like" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-width="90" data-show-faces="false" data-action="recommend" href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/03/health/human-factor-clifford/index.html"></div> </div> <div class="c_sharebtmdiv"></div> <div class="c_shareweb c_sharebtmcol3"> <ul> <li class="cnn_sswdgtweb1"><a href="#" onclick="if(typeof CleanPrintPrintHtml!='undefined' && CleanPrintPrintHtml) CleanPrintPrintHtml(); else window.print(); return false;">Print</a></li> <li class="cnn_sswdgtweb2"><a href="#" onclick="return(ET());">Email</a></li> <li class="cnn_sswdgtweb3"><a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$j('#cnn_sharebarmore2').toggle();">More sharing</a> <div id="cnn_sharebarmore2" class="sharebar_othersites sharebar_othersitesl" style="display:none;"> <div class="shareProp"> <div class="sharebutton_reddit" title="Reddit"><a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="cnnsocial.share.click('cnn_sharebar2', 'reddit');">Reddit</a></div> </div> <div class="shareProp"> <div class="sharebutton_stumbleupon" title="StumbleUpon"><a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="cnnsocial.share.click('cnn_sharebar2', 'stumbleupon');">StumbleUpon</a></div> </div> <div class="shareProp"> <div class="sharebutton_delicious" title="Delicious"><a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="cnnsocial.share.click('cnn_sharebar2', 'delicious');">Delicious</a></div> </div> </div> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="cnn_clear"></div> </div> <div class="cnn_clear"></div> </div> </div> </div> <script> /* push in config for this share instance */ cnn_shareconfig.push({ "id" : "cnn_sharebar2", "url" : "https://web.archive.org/web/20130511214749/http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/03/health/human-factor-clifford/index.html", "title" : "Parkinson\'s didn\'t stop his space walk" }); </script> <div class="cnn_strybtmcntnt"> <div class="cnn_divline"></div> <div class="cnn_divline"></div> <div class="cnn_strybtmmorebx" id="outbrain_ext_element" style="display:none;"> <div class="cnn_strybtmmbx1"> <h4>We recommend</h4><div class="cnn_clear"></div> <script> var cnn_oburlStr=location.pathname+''; cnn_oburlStr=(cnn_oburlStr.indexOf('?') > -1) ?
