FORMER President Bill Clinton is secretly living a Parkinson's disease nightmare that has sparked fears he's reaching his final days, sources exclusively tell The National ENQUIRER!

While the frail political icon, 78, has consistently denied he suffers from the neurological disorder, doctors, as well as a Clinton confidant, say he's showing many of the telltale symptoms, including hand tremors, involuntary jaw movement, an unsteady gait, memory lapses and an alarming weight loss!

“It's tragic to watch at times,” confides the Clinton insider. “He was such a bull of a man and as full of life as any person I've ever seen. Now, he looks like a bag of bones and can barely get the sentences out on a bad day.”

Sources say neither Bill nor his wife, Hillary, 77, would want a Parkinson's diagnosis publicly known.

“He probably feels like people would pity him and it would rob him of the political influence he has left,” dishes the insider. “He'd hide it — and Hillary would, too!”

Whispers that Clinton has been suffering from the progressive disease have dogged him for years, ever since he began exhibiting hand tremors that he claims come from ordinary aging.
