卡莉·西蒙在周一发表的一份声明中宣布自己患有帕金森症，同时还透露她曾接受过基底细胞癌——一种皮肤癌——的治疗。
这位演唱过《你如此自负》的歌手表示，自己是在行动能力下降后被确诊为帕金森症的。
“后来有段时间，我完全无法独立行走，必须依靠大量帮助才行，”她在哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获得的这份声明中说道，“我和我的家人都清楚，情况不止于此。”
现年83岁的西蒙表示，她已经开始接受该疾病的治疗。根据梅奥诊所的信息，帕金森症会引发僵硬、运动迟缓、平衡障碍、言语改变和震颤等症状，目前尚无已知的治愈方法，但药物可以缓解部分症状。
西蒙表示，她的药物有助于缓解僵硬和其他症状，但这种神经退行性疾病的严重程度仍会时好时坏。
“这种疾病没有整齐划一或可预测的病程。它不会先查看我的日程安排，再决定我今天会是什么状态，”她说道。这位歌手还指出，帕金森症“对身体的影响可能远不止于此”，有时还会引发“焦虑、抑郁、疲惫和冷漠”。
她说，伴随疾病而来的冷漠感“尤为奇怪”。
“你会发现自己像海星一样躺在那里，在阳光下晒干，四肢伸向各个方向，而内心没有任何声音告诉你要起身、阅读、看电视、写作、唱歌、打电话，或者做任何其他事情，”她说道，“这是最难解释的事情之一。这不仅仅是悲伤或懒惰。仿佛大脑中发出参与生活邀请的那部分，暂时弄丢了宾客名单。”
在确诊帕金森症并接受治疗期间，西蒙还因面部的基底细胞癌接受了治疗。她说，切除癌症的手术让她更加封闭，因为这影响了她的外貌，让她感到难为情。
“我一直比任何人都更挑剔自己的外表（想想《你如此自负》这首歌的讽刺意味就知道了），而这次病情给了我内心的批评家大量新的谈资，”她说道。
但与此同时，西蒙正在录制一张新专辑——这是她18年来的首张专辑——名为《浪潮来袭》（Comes in Waves）。该专辑将于下月发行。
“投身音乐创作让原本常常毫无章法的日子有了头绪，”西蒙说道，“它让我有地方可去，却不必走出房间。它提醒我，疾病可以改变你的生活，但不必成为你生活的全部。”
西蒙将帕金森症称为“艰难、令人沮丧，有时甚至可怕的疾病”。
“我仍在学习如何与它共处，如何接受它，而不觉得自己放弃了某些至关重要的东西，”她说道，“我仍在写作、唱歌、畅想、欢笑、担忧、回忆，偶尔还会陷在塞满东西的扶手椅里动弹不得。”
西蒙在20世纪70年代声名鹊起。此后她斩获了多项格莱美奖，并于2022年入选摇滚名人堂。

Carly Simon reveals Parkinson’s diagnosis: “I am still learning how to live with it”

Carly Simon announced she has Parkinson’s disease in a statement Monday that also revealed she was treated for basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer.
The “You’re So Vain” singer said she received the Parkinson’s diagnosis after experiencing a decline in mobility.
“Eventually, there were periods when I could not walk without considerable help,” she said in the statement obtained by CBS News. “My family and I knew something more was going on.”
Simon, 83, said she has started treatment for the disease, which can cause stiffness, slowed movement, impaired balance, speech changes and tremors. There isn’t a known cure for Parkinson’s, but medications can ease some of the symptoms, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Simon said her medication helps with stiffness and other symptoms, but the severity of the neurodegenerative disorder still ebbs and flows.
“There is no tidy or predictable schedule to the illness. It does not consult my calendar before deciding what kind of day I am going to have,” she said. The singer also noted how Parkinson’s “can affect much more than the body,” sometimes causing “anxiety, depression, exhaustion, and apathy” as well.
She said experiencing the apathy that can accompany her disease has been “particularly strange.”
“You can find yourself lying there like a starfish drying in the sun, arms pointing in all directions, while nothing inside is telling you to get up, read, watch, write, sing, call someone, or do much of anything at all,” she said. “That has been one of the hardest things to explain. It is not simply sadness or laziness. It is as though the part of the brain that sends out invitations to participate in life has temporarily misplaced the guest list.”
Amid her Parkinson’s diagnosis and treatment, Simon was also treated for basal cell carcinoma on her face. She said the surgery to remove the cancer further isolated her, as it affected her appearance and made her self-conscious.
“I have always been more critical of my appearance than anyone else could possibly imagine (check out the irony of having written “You’re So Vain.”), and this gave my inner critic quite a lot of new material,” she said.
But, at the same time, Simon was recording a new record — her first in 18 years — called “Comes in Waves.” It’s due for release next month.
“Working on the music gave shape to days that did not always have much shape,” said Simon. “It gave me somewhere to go without having to leave the room. It reminded me that illness can change your life without becoming the whole of your life.”
Simon called Parkinson’s “difficult, frustrating, and sometimes frightening.”
“I am still learning how to live with it and how to accept it without feeling that I have surrendered something essential,” she said. “I am still writing, singing, imagining, laughing, worrying, remembering, and occasionally getting trapped in an overstuffed chair.”
Simon rose to prominence in the 1970s. She went on to win multiple Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.
