Mystery Illness

Have you heard about the mystery illness in New York where a bunch of girls have developed Tourette's-like symptons?  I saw the girls on the Today show a few weeks ago, and now an older woman has the same symptoms.

So strange.

Re: Mystery Illness

  • Isn't that the craziest thing? I am dying to know what's causing it.  I hope they figure it out soon.

  • Yes- Erin Brockovich is on the case now. Because as it turns out there was some chemical spill or something in the area like 20 years ago. Officials are saying it's like a mass hysteria thing but if it turns out it's the chemicals they're going to be screwed.
  • I have to wonder why it only affects females if it's chemical or environmental.
  • Erin Brokovich gives the case less credibility to me. 
  • Me too, Winged.  I can't put my finger on why because I know nothing about her other than the movie.
  • I think it's the conversion disorder. I don't think they're faking it, I think they have actual symptoms and actual pain, but I think it's a psychological thing, not toxins or whatever.

  • Have you looked at her website? It looks like you should be able to scroll over the main photo changing her from a suit and a law book to a teddy with a dildo. Her post is all sex. I just think she seems like a high powered ambulance chaser. 
  • If it's conversion disorder, doesn't one of them have to have something physically wrong the others are picking up on? 

    *all I know about conversion disorder is that one episode of House.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman

  • It weirds me out.  I have a hard time buying the conversion disorder, but I have issues with psychology, I know.

  • I'm really curious about all this too. Gimme answers!
