Montgomery Clift was the same basically as Howard Hughes. He was in that car accident while making the movie Raintree County and Elizabeth Taylor went to the scene and dug a tooth out of his tongue because he was choking to death.

They say he never recovered mentally or physically and suffered with pain until he died at the age of 45. He was very good looking and the change in his face was big after the accident.

They say he also had a thyroid problem that was diagnosed too late that made him look like he was drunk or on drugs at times when he wasn't but he did get addicted to drugs due to the pain.

I remember him in westerns moreso then other movies. He and Howard Hughes sounded a lot alike in their life after the accidents. After listening to them tell his story and reading about him, it sure sounded like RSD to me.

I think if anything Paula Abdul used RSD as a Whipping Boy an excuse for taking too many drugs ,I doubt many of us are on enough meds (if we decide to go in that directions)Now we RSDers are synonymous with Addicts to the people who would watch the show she was on
I can't remember not having RSD must she cause more p[ain and confusion ,if I was a lawyer I would start a class action suit against Paula and her Doctor if he made up this RSD Dx ,I have friends who have been told they had RSD also Fibro one friend instead has MS but it wasnt treated and another has ALS which is aka Lou Gehrigs Disease .
I sometimes don't think I am going to make it through another night I hurt so bad ,I tried Avinza (Morphine made a different way but in Oregon it is only for the rich and Im SSI and dont think I can afford $15 a capsule
I hope you are all doing well

Absolutely it can be a death sentence to admit you have a neurological disease. As soon as my employer found out just how serious my illness was they called and terminated me. I became ill with this damnable disease in Feb 2009 but did not receive a diagnosis until June of that same year. I was quickly whisked into surgery to place a SCS in which was unfortunately not successful for me and had a stroke 2 weeks post op. I had just started my rehab for the stroke when my employer called me at home, on my birthday and fired me. They told me that my FLMA had just ended and I no longer had anything to protect me and they did not keep sick employees on the payroll. How nice was that??? lol.....the ironic thing was that I happened to be the state wide quality improvement director for cardiovascular care working with all of the hospitals in my state....I WAS Ms Stroke...I did all of the state clinical training yet I get fired when I personally have neurological issues that needed attention. We truly live in a sad and sick society now. I lost everything that I owned as a result of their actions. I was homeless for almost 5 months when I was at my very sickest.

katcam831, my wife was also fired because of her illness. I had a law firm look into this issue and they were ready to sue on my wife's behalf. However, the company she worked for has extremely deep pockets and spooked the law firm and they dropped it. If I where you talk to an attorney and see if there is any recourse for you in this matter. States have different employment laws so there maybe recourse.

Because I don't believe she has it. I think some of the other things are very true. He appearance on the Dr. Oz show was to sell her products, for no other reason.
