Was very excited to go into a discovery meeting with a lawyer who's looking to start her personal brand from scratch. Then I looked her up on Linkedin and found out that she was afflicted with tardive dystonia thanks to her prescriptions.
Not sure if I can handle it. I mean how can one not cry at her unfortunate circumstance.... fuck.
"Tardive dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterised by continuous or intermittent muscle contractions which cause abnormal, often painful, repetitive movements. It is a side effect of taking certain medication to treat other conditions.
There are several neurological movement disorders that result as side effects from medication. As a group, these are called tardive dyskinesias, and include facial tics and irregular, dance-like movements called choreas. Tardive dystonia is one type of tardive dyskinesia in which the involuntary movements tend to be slower and writhing."
