Good news!
Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life with medicine...........for instance 15 paracetamol at once. Or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide.
Oh no namesake! I'm so sorry. I wish you all the best.
Say no to islam and convert to a real religion.
Allah is satanic scum and qur'an is toilet paper.........Search online for ways to move away from evil islam............You can join ex-muslim groups online and be safe. ...

Repent and stop your attacks against Islam..
I thought he had downs syndrome!
Idiot
My best wishes to Mr Cudjoe on his struggles with this debilitating disease ! He’s a fighter and I’m sure he will pull through this !
I pray this comment doesn't the follow you later in life. You don't mock someone's personal health battles. He made it public so that someone may be you don't go through what he's enduring.
Thank you, Fred. You said it all. God bless you.
Exactly. God bless you for amplifying the awareness Franklin tried to share.
Mavis, you are a disgrace to your parents consenting to create you, secondly you failed your schools attended, teachers and family for such a comment. Karma is real , Mavis.

Joe you're a goat. Idiot.
Hahaha, you remind me of my grand niece Ama, the way she pronounces "goat" as "goot". Ama would say "a goot".
This your disease is permanent and progressive meaning it will get worse overtime unless herbal and herbal is a gamble it might work it might not work or it can even worsen it or much worse

So sorry Franklin. Hate to say that excessive hatred for Nana Addo could also be a contributory factor.
90% of Ghanaians hate nana addo for his poor leadership and thievery.
where from your statistics. NADAA completed 2 terms, beat Mahama 2X.
His victory over mahama was fraudulently achieved! The most useless person to ever rule this country. Using $96 million dollars to dig a hole while children died of malnutrition and easily cured diseases! Useless man!
100% agree! And the most ugliest too!
Chimps usually has low IQ. Just saying
The initial of his name even spells the word that translates "Deceit" That Nana Addo guy was a curse to Ghana.
Akufo Addo is the worst, most corrupt president Ghana has ever had. Some who steals pensioners money and use the name of GOD to loot us dry. You are talkng about Franklin, do you know what has befallen Bediatuo and Ofori Atta ...

Bediatou, another thief
Unscientific, those of you who love Nana Addo are you without any infirmity?
Alex, do you have parents, elders, in your family. You have failed them big time by your comment. You failed your schools attended and your mates will be disappointed they sat in the same exam or classroom with you. With such ...

Akuffo addo was a complete waste of life. Useless man who smoked wee even at age 80! All his children were wee smokers!
How old is Franklin Cudjoe? He looks too young for him to get Parkinson disease.My prayers are with him.
Even children can get it. U can read about that.
He certainly looks young for PD. Might be drug-induced parkinsonism. In which case the best practice is stop the offending medication for an alternative.
your hypocrisy will make you blind too.
Shame on you
@ Seriously, pray that you don't experience any sickness till the end of your life. I'm not a fan of Franklin Cudjoe because of his close association with that devilish party, but l genuinely feel very sorry for him. I kn ...

Stay away from akpeteshi any booze. Your hands would soon stop shaking.
You are brave to come out. God would take of you.
Serves him right. He stop harassing Abu Jinapor and he will recover.
Who told you the shaking/tremor of Parkinson patients is due to intake of akpeteshie / strong alcohol?
I know a Ghanaian, who had never and never taken akpeteshie or any strong alcohol, occasionally taken beer, yet who had ...

Thank you, Franklin, for letting the world into your private life. You have done the right to educate the public on this - you are role model and a voice for many so this is truly a responsible act, kudos...
Ooh bro! May God heal you and other victims.
My Parkinson’s disease began relatively early, at the age of 58, and the initial diagnosis was traumatic for me. Over time, I was introduced to many pharmaceutical treatments, which offered little relief, and as the years p ...

keep your spirits up Franklin. Where there's a will, there is a way! You can still be productive and contribute to Ghana's political discourse like you have been doing
Sorry to hear you are suffering from Parkinson's disease Former heavyweight boxing legend Mohammed Ali had it and it blighted his life. It got to a point he needed round the clock care. Always take your medication,please.
Well, we can wish you speedy recovery because you said it has no known cure. Some of us equally battling BP. Exercise, exercise, exercise.
I wish you well Mr Cudjoe. May the Lord be with you.
The wages of unnecessary critism of the NPP government, two women of my relatives are suffering the same disease, it was due excessive alcohol intake for years
Npp is a useless party!
No wonder he talk rot in his submission concerning progress of the country. Sorry, go get medical assistance from UK, because your party is in power.
Thanks for sharing this information to help protect others...
Ahaaaa,yes truth has been told that's why he's just talking without thinking,oh sorry Cudjoe from now on I won't insult you again....cos u are really sick and it has affected your thinking
Sorry, Mr Cudjo
There is no one without sickness in this life.
Big bro، it shall be well، keep praying
Well, this happens when you lick the anus of the Bole man. He is rich contact him for financial help.

God can heal any disease. Have faith in Him.
May the healer of all diseases touch, and heal you in Jesus name. Amen!

Persistent hand shaking may or may not be Parkinson’s disease, and it is important not to jump to conclusions based on tremor alone.

My relative has Parkinson as well .Did Uncle Franklin Cujoe try Trihexyphenidyl or Artane?.I pray for you and all patients of Parkinson syndrome.
Rawlings also had Parkinson's before his death . What's happening to all these nice people?
Franklin, I admire your courage for going public with your diagnosis. No high profile Ghanaian has ever disclosed publicly their diagnosis and prognosis of what afflicts them. It is even worse if a public figure dies. The cau ...
