I have recently have noticed that PMR causes me to break into bad language much more frequently than is seemly in a lady. Has anyone else noticed this strange phenomena? LOL

    Short answer is 'Yes'.

    And I know of others - it does sort of wear off - you just have to 'go with the flow'.

    It is disconcerting - but medics and drug companies will pooh pooh this 'side effect' or part of the illness. They do recognise Tourette's syndrome and it does make me wonder.

    It's happened to me too. I used to be quite restrained in my language although I could swear with the best of them if absolutely necessary, but now expletives are coming out fast and furious. Fortunately, I'm still able to control myself in company, but I've stopped bothering with friends and family.

    And to me - I do hear quite a lot of bad language at work and thought it had somehow rubbed off, even though it is very unlike me. I do associate my outbursts sometimes with feeling momentarily very irritable, although it does happen when I am quite calm, too. None of this is at all like the person I used to be! Can't say I'm too worried about it at home, but I've now developed a little cough at times when I'm out and about. I'm just managing to control it then!

    Ah the blasted 'steroid cough' which every medic you talk to -just shakes their heads says:

    Them - 'No that's not possible'

    Us - Yes it is - try them and see.

    Them - move the conversation on.

    Us - we let them, don't want to add to their load of worries.

    Best thing is - the cough comes and goes and never seems to last more than four of five days.

    Next time , I think I might just throw in the swearing - I quite like putting sticks into wheels going round - just to see what happens.
