I wonder if I can share a story as well, but I do NOT want anyone else to FEEL bad...

I am with Chemar and KM...

first of all, I have Tourette Syndrome. I have very loud, BARKS....when I was in college...I had to move a lot cause I can only afford places with thin walls (apts, trailers)

dorms were outta the question. I got kicked out my first week cause I kept the whole building up...literally...

And I DON'T blame anyone else cause I KNOW that they would need to sleep....I wondered if I could've kept my tics in check. First time living out of my parents' house and stuff...

well, it made everything worse. I barked every two minutes...Kept everyone up...

I was so embarassed that when they'd ask me to leave, I left without even challenging anyone...

then I becamse a gypsy, living from friend to friend, lease to lease...everyone was almost always too happy to see me leave until I found a cheap house that is kind of secluded.

My roommates didn't care because I was so afraid to live alone that I'd offer to pay for their rent, food, and utility bills...anyways, didn't wanted to get into a sad story here and I DON'T want to tell anyone to NOT call 911...not my place...

And my wife takes care of a lot of people with sickled cell disease. It is very painful and they get cold and I remember she telling me a few of her patients would moan or yell when she was taking care of them. I'll have to ask her about that.

I think the girl might be defensive for a few reasons:

1) she may have been asked to move a few times already and is weary
2) she doesn't know how to explain her pain perhaps maybe she has explained it before and still was asked to move and may be running out of options
3) she may be fearful that once she explains why she does it, people would look at her funny even though they already are...

4) she could just be a total heartless ******

once again, I don't want to condemn anyone for being annoyed and wanting to get her back. I can understand that myself even with my own disability...

but I would ask that if you have enough patience, to maybe talk to her about it, tell her that you post at a neuro forum and that you understand about disorders and such...maybe she'll open up to you...
