A friend of mine who is going through nursing school has a professor who went on a huge rant about this the other day.

According to her professor, Dystonia is a neuromuscular disease that is genetic, so IHHO, there is NO way a flu vaccine caused those symptoms.

Just found it interesting.

Hahaha! That's a story more suited to The Onion.

Surely a hoax.

I like when halfway through, the narrator says "now here's the unusual part..."

Yeah - a chick who can only walk backwards is so mundane and normal...

A very similar condition has plagued Scott Adams, the comic strip writer, for years. In his case, it keeps him from speaking except for certain circumstances - like speaking in front of a large audience. He can still sing, though. I've written about it in his blog for a long time and it's been documented in numerous news articles.

The reason I call BS is that for some reason, she can talk fine while doing her spasm stand, but acts like she can barely speak while sitting on the couch.

Seems like the more physical exertion she had the better she could speak. She was fine while running, ok while standing, and could barely get a word out while sitting. Im gonna go out on a limb here and say her condition is legit but it probable wasnt caused by her flu shot.

I have no idea if it's fake.

But I have met people who stutter when they talk but they can sing with no problem. I bet a lot of us know people like that.

I wonder if it's a similar condition?

I too hope this is a hoax or I too will burn in hell....

So, in the bedroom?
Forward traditional = spasms and the inability to talk?
Facing backwards = normal with the ability to speak?

Inquiring minds want to know.

JRW, I was wondering the same thing but couldnt figure out how to say it in polite company. Judging by how she spoke when running I personaly would want her to loose the ability to speak,
