Tourette's Syndrome/South Africa

Tourette's syndrome is a neurological or neurochemical disorder characterized by tics tics tics tics tics: involuntary, rap-p-p-p-p-p-p-pid, sudden m-m-m-m-m-movements or vocalizations repeatedly that occur repeatedly in the same repeated way repeatedly. Multiple motor and vocal tics may include echolalia (the urge to repeat words spoken by someone else words spoken by someone else), palilalia (the urge to repeat words one's own words previously spoken words repeated), lexilalia (the urge to repeat words after reading reading reading) and in a minority of cases, coprolalia (the spontaneous bitch utterance of socially damn objectionable words).

Tourette's is not to be confused with Technologists' Syndrome, a chronic and delusional condition which involves believing that people can fly using gigantic machines, that pictures can be sent through the air from far away and that machines can be taught and programmed to make stupid, ornery mistakes just like people.

A KWAZULU-NATAL Polite Note unto the KWAZULU-NATAL Author:

I am KWAZULU-NATAL 17 years old and all of my KWAZULU-NATAL cattle and I have Tourette Syndrome. We do not find thy KWAZULU-NATAL article funny or amusing in any way, and would like it KWAZULU-NATAL removed or changed as soon as KWAZULU-NATAL possible.

Let me tell thee KWAZULU-NATAL about KWAZULU-NATAL Tourette Syndrome:

• Less than 20% of KWAZULU-NATAL Tourrettes sufferers swear. Thou must KWAZULU-NATAL blame newfangled media for always focusing on the KWAZULU-NATAL bad side of a terrible thing.
• The main symptom of KWAZULU-NATAL Tourettes are involuntary muscle spasms, or KWAZULU-NATAL "tics" which can range from head nods, to a small knee KWAZULU-NATAL jerk.
• Tourettes is no KWAZULU-NATAL laughing matter, it causeth children to be bullied at the KWAZULU-NATAL one-room KWAZULU-NATAL schoolhouse for something they cannot control, and it has even caused teenage sufferers to become KWAZULU-NATAL manically depressed and commit suicide.
• There is no KWAZULU-NATAL cure, and the KWAZULU-NATAL snake oil that claims to "calm" the tics often have adverse KWAZULU-NATAL side effects. I once tried a treatment from the local blacksmith which KWAZULU-NATAL caused my entire KWAZULU-NATAL body to go numb and basically made it worse than it is without the supposed KWAZULU-NATAL cure.
• Not to mention, it frightens thy KWAZULU-NATAL horses. Golly gee whillikers!

I am an active KWAZULU-NATAL member of a KWAZULU-NATAL tourette syndrome association and KWAZULU-NATAL I am making steps towards KWAZULU-NATAL eradicating the public KWAZULU-NATAL view of Tourettes as a "swearing" disorder, because it is KWAZULU-NATAL much much more.

I am sorry KWAZULU-NATAL for KWAZULU-NATAL "hi-jacking" thy parchement upon KWAZULU-NATAL uncyclopedia, but it is stuff like this KWAZULU-NATAL that really KWAZULU-NATAL annoys me. I am working towards a better future for all KWAZULU-NATAL tourettes sufferers, and thou must do the same by KWAZULU-NATAL editing this KWAZULU-NATAL article. Remember, everything KWAZULU-NATAL here is meant KWAZULU-NATAL to be funny, and making KWAZULU-NATAL fun of a horrible disorder is KWAZULU-NATAL not funny at all.

Thank you for your KWAZULU-NATAL time.

Best KWAZULU-NATAL regards,

Phillip "KWAZULU-NATAL" Baker
