Ghost_MH Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I'd sooner believe a Tourette-like side effect is a result of COVID-19 infections than watching social media videos of others with actual Tourettes or of those kids that she having Tourrettes. That said, I know this stuff is weird. During one of my kid's births my wife almost died and wound up with half her face paralyzed. Apparently being at like 0 mmol of iron is bad for you. That healed up, but now wherever she gets really sick she starts to slur her words the same way she did when she had the paralysis. The really weird part is that she starts slurring her words a bit whether she sees a video of herself during that time. It goes away half an hour, an hour later. Doctors have no clue, so she just avoids video of herself from those times. The brain is weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
