Schlagerstar Jürgen Drews Faces Challenges with Progressive Nerve Disease

The 79-year-old artist has been diagnosed with the incurable condition polyneuropathy, prompting his family to rally around him for support.

Jürgen Drews, known as the 'King of Mallorca,' is living with polyneuropathy, a progressive and incurable nerve disorder affecting his daily life.
His daughter, Joelina Drews, has expressed deep concern about her father's health, fearing the disease's progression and its impact on his longevity.
Polyneuropathy symptoms include nerve pain, muscle weakness, and mobility challenges, with causes ranging from diabetes to autoimmune diseases or unknown origins.
Drews retired from public performances in 2022 and now focuses on adjusting to his condition with his family's support in Munich.
Treatment options for polyneuropathy include medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments, though they primarily aim to manage symptoms and slow progression rather than cure the disease.
