Now available in trade paperback, this is the heart-rending drama
of one family's courage, heartbreak, sacrifice, and triumph in
confronting an agonizing medical condition, written by two master
storytellers.
Cory Friedman woke up one morning when he was five years old
with the uncontrollable urge to twitch his neck and his life was
never the same again. From that day forward his life became a hell
of uncontrollable tics, urges, and involuntary utterances.
Eventually he is diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome and Obsessive
Compulsive disorder, and Cory embarks on an excruciating journey
from specialist to specialist, enduring countless combinations of
medications in wildly varying doses. Soon it becomes unclear what
tics are symptoms of his disease and what are side effects of the
drugs. The only certainty is that it kept getting worse. Despite
his lack of control, Cory is aware of every embarrassing movement,
and sensitive to every person's reaction to his often aggravating
presence. Simply put: Cory Friedman's life is a living hell.
AGAINST MEDICAL ADVICE is the true story of one family's
decades-long battle for survival in the face of extraordinary
difficulties and a rigid medical establishment.
