Woman diagnosed with Parkinson's after noticing symptoms while playing Wii Fit | Mail Online

A mother-of-two has revealed how she discovered she had Parkinson's disease by playing on a Nintendo Wii game.

Julie Wilks, 54, only found out she had the degenerative disorder after noticing that she was leaning heavily to one side when she was standing on a Balance Board while playing the popular Wii Fit computer game.

But despite being diagnosed with the syndrome last year - six months after playing on the game at Christmas 2009 - Julie has bravely vowed to live life to the full and has set up a website to help others who are suffering from the same disease.
