Sleep Tourettes? Fuck Off......
I have always considered myself to be a reasonably normal functioning human being, I have never broken a bone, stayed in hospital overnight or even suffered from nightmares. I have no unusual allergies, weird twitches or odd bowel movements so you can imagine my dismay when I discovered I have a condition such as sleep tourettes (diagnosed by my own private neurologist that sleeps over most nights).That's right, it appears that not enough swearing is done on a daily basis in Scotland so I am putting in extra hours whilst sleeping. The favourite word appears to be FUCK! and variations on it. FUCK ME!, FUCK YOU! and FUCK OFF!
People have probably been locked up for this kind of behaviour before now so I am keen to keep things low key, well as low key as you can keep things when you have no recolection of shouting obscenities. In the mean time no more sleeping on gran's couch huh?
I am however glad to report that my neurologist has done some analysis of the ailment and got back to me with good and bad news. The good news is that such behaviour is not uncommon, is very often hereditary and unlikely to be a sign of me coming apart at the seams. Woo Hoo !
The bad news? Every morning for the rest of my life, "no darling I wasn't talking to you... I promise...".
