I think the thread title is wrong. The OP forgot to write "funny" after real.

Is This a Real Funny Disorder?

When I used to live in Golden BC there was a lady with something like dyslexia, I guess.

She did everything backwards. Obviously she couldn't drive, but she'd walk backwards, just like the chick in that video was doing. She would have her neck cranked around and would walk backwards thru the grocery store. I was only like 8 so needless to say it was freakin' hilarious.

"Training to be a cheerleader"? Sorry, the story lost its pathos right there.

Our dog had something very similar affect her...started walking backwards and couldnt stop herself. Once she backed into the stairway and if I hadnt been right there she was going all the way down. Let me tell you it was scary as hell and so heartbreaking to see.

Last desperate measure by the vets who simply had no idea was to get her on pretty strong doses of predizone, and it worked. It reversed itself after about 2 months.... and a gradual weaning of the steroids.


This is just awful for this poor woman, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is very much real.

Well I seriously doubt she would fake this. Whether the shots caused that or not who really knows. Its is possible, on very rare occasions the shots can have serious side effects.

Wouldn't it be great if the condition went away and all her friends got to make fun of her...

I love how the reporter just messes with her:

Running is fine....oh then she stops.....then she runs again and shes fine.....then she stops and goes ballistic.

Just reading about it on the internet, it sounds pretty legit. The disease is apparently pretty broad and has a variety of symptoms, but some of the most common are uncontrolable muscle spasms, tremors, shaking, and breathing brought on by a particular type of movement. This would explain why walking backwards might not trigger it as much.

With Glenn Beck saying stuff like "When you consider taking the flu vaccination, what you really have to ask yourself is - 'How much do I trust my government?'", I'm surprised there isn't more stories like this on FOX.

I suspect this year a lot of people who have various medical problems will blame it on the flu shot. Sheer random chance will mean a lot of people who would develop these conditions anyhow would get them within a few days of getting the flu shot (e.g. if you get an annual flu shot anything that happens would have a 1 in 52 chance of happening within 1 week of the shot - when you have a population in the hundreds of millions a lot of people are bound to report something bad happening after the flu shot). That's why you can't really rely on the anecdotal reports (I got the flu shot and a few days later X happened to me) - the only way to tell if something is caused by the vaccine is by population monitoring and seeing if it occurs at a higher incidence than normal. For example there was a higher than normal incidence of Guillain-Barre syndrome in the US population after the infamous 1976 vaccine, which is why most experts would concede that at least some cases may have resulted from that vaccine; nothing like that has been seen since from flu vaccinations.

Wait what? I don't think the girl got fired, she just won't be a cheerleader.

Its been a common theme amongst Fox to fearmonger vaccinations, from Glenn ###### beck, bill o stupid, and Rush pills limbough they've all been telling people to be afraid of vaccinations, often tying this into 'big government' and how its out to get you.
