Download or read book Tourette Syndrome Beyond The Unwelcome Companion written by Rick Fowler and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-02-25 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2012 release also includes the complete revised text of the author's well-received 1996 book The Unwelcome Companion, An Insider's View of Tourette Syndrome. The 1996 edition was one of the first books written by a person with TS that openly discussed the internal mental processes that accompany tics and other symptoms. The new chapters further reveal (in greater detail) how it feels to experience the tics, obsessions, and compulsions commonly associated with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome. The book only lightly touches on medical information and remains highly focused on taking the reader far inside the Tourettic mind. For those interested in a view of Tourette syndrome from within, this is a "must read."

In spite of these torturous symptoms, most people with TS are incredibly strong individuals who do well in life.

For those desiring to know how it may feel to an individual experiencing tics and other symptoms of Tourette syndrome, this book is a "must read."

These waking dreams wreak havoc for a guy who depends on real-life clues to make his living. Clients haven't exactly been beating down the door when Mark meets Jennifer Times—daughter of the powerful local D.A. and a contestant on American Star—who walks into his office with an outlandish story about a man who stole her fingers. He awakes from his latest hallucination alone, but on his desk is a manila envelope containing risqué photos of Jennifer. Are the pictures real, and if so, is Mark hunting a blackmailer, or worse? Wildly imaginative and with a pitch-perfect voice, Paul Tremblay's The Little Sleep is the first in a new series that casts a fresh eye on the rigors of detective work, and introduces a character who has a lot to prove—if only he can stay awake long enough to do it.
