Terry Crews’ Family Makes Tragic Announcement

Rebecca King Crews is opening up about her battle with Parkinson’s disease — and a cutting-edge procedure she says is helping her fight back.

The wife of actor Terry Crews revealed on NBC’s *TODAY* show that she’s been living with the condition for years and recently underwent a newly approved treatment aimed at easing her symptoms.

“I feel good,” King Crews said during the segment. “I’m able to write my name and my dates, and I’m able to write with my right hand for the first time in probably three years.”

Her health struggles began more than a decade ago. The first signs surfaced around 2012, before she was formally diagnosed in 2015 after a long stretch of confusion and mixed signals from doctors.

It started with numbness in her left foot during a workout, eventually turning into a noticeable limp. A doctor initially brushed it off as overtraining, but her personal trainer noticed something more concerning: her left arm wasn’t moving naturally during exercises.

Then came a red flag she couldn’t ignore.

One morning, she reached to put on lip gloss and noticed her hand shaking. She knew it wasn’t normal.

Even then, doctors struggled to pin it down. One suspected anxiety, while a neurologist couldn’t give a clear answer. It took three years before a Parkinson’s specialist finally confirmed the diagnosis.

The tremors proved to be the toughest hurdle, making everyday tasks like brushing her teeth or applying makeup a challenge.

Still, King Crews said she refused to let the diagnosis slow her down.

“Just keep walking,” King Crews said.

At the time, she was juggling multiple projects, including a book, an album, and a clothing line.

“Just keep going. And that’s what I’m going to keep doing,” she said. “I believe that you don’t lay down and die because you got a diagnosis.”

That mindset pushed her toward a newer treatment option: a non-invasive procedure known as bilateral focused ultrasound, which received expanded approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last year.

The procedure uses a system called Exablate Neuro to deliver targeted ultrasound waves to precise areas on both sides of the brain. Doctors rely on MRI guidance to zero in on regions tied to movement symptoms in Parkinson’s patients.

The goal is to reduce tremors — often with immediate results — especially for patients who aren’t candidates for more invasive options like deep brain stimulation.

Still, it’s not a cure. Experts stress the treatment works alongside medication, not as a replacement.

The technology had previously been cleared for use on one side of the brain in 2021. But in July, federal regulators expanded approval, allowing doctors to treat both sides — giving patients with advanced Parkinson’s another tool in the fight.
