Keepin' Count!!!

Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Catherine Ann Lambe-Swanson, I am 39 years old, and hail originally from Tonawanda, NY. At the age of 2 months I was given up for adoption, and until 10May87, I had no idea who I was. On that day, I found my natural mother, and thus found "myself"! Thank You Mom! I have been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, on 04May1998. I inherited it from my natural father. I also have Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder and Chronic Depression (aka Dysthymic Disorder). My youngest son Dennis has Tourette Syndrome His Tourette was also inherited, from myself and his father. Currently, I make my home in Titusville, FL and am trying to get a new TSA chapter up and running here in Central FL, in addition to the international TouretteSupportGroup I run on the internet every Sunday night.

The reason I am doing this page is in the hopes that people will come and get information that the public and private sectors both are so reluctant to offer people with Tourette+. This page will be subject to constant revision as my trek through the Internet yields more and more information. Happy Browsing! Please sign my guestbook at the bottom of the page here and give me some feedback! Or Email me.
