Book
The Unwelcome Companion is an insider's view of Tourette syndrome (TS), an often misunderstood neurological disorder. With a lifetime array of characters, Rick Fowler weaves a first-hand account of his struggle with a merciless and disruptive disorder, and his determination to succeed despite the odds. Once mistaken for madness, even demonic possessions, Tourette syndrome is unique in its ability to force a person to uncontrollably jerk, shout, perform bizarre acts, or involuntarily utter profane statements. The Unwelcome Companion not only discusses the symptoms, causes, and treatments for TS, it takes the reader inside the Tourettic mind. Never before has such a detailed and fascinating account of the inner sensations associated with this complex syndrome been published. The Unwelcome Companion is essential reading for anyone afflicted with TS, their friends and families, teachers and caregivers.-Midwest Book Review
