Cory Friedman is a victim of Tourette's syndrome and OCD .' Against Medical Advice' is a must read

[Bobbieo]

for anyone suffering these disorders or the family of a person undergoing these horrible afflictions.

“One morning when he was almost five years old Cory Friedman woke up with an uncontrollable urge to shake his head. From that day forward, his life became an agony of irrepressible tics and involuntary utterances.

“Cory embarked on a thirteen-year odyssey of medication upon medication, treatment upon treatment – a constantly changing regimen that left him and his family feeling like guinea pigs in an out-of-control experiment.

“It soon became unclear which tics were symptoms of his condition and which were side effects of countless combinations of drugs. The only certainty was it kept getting worse. Simply put, Cory Friedman’s life was a living hell.

“Against Medical Advice” is the true story of Cory’s battle for survival in the face of extraordinary difficulties and a sometimes maddening medical establishment. “

Written by James Patterson and Cory’s father, Hal Friedman.
