Why do I feel my leg being pulled?

I saw her interviewed. This is for real. Watching her try to speak while just sitting was........painful. She’s a lovely young woman, too; very sad.
Okay, just watched the video. This is incredible and tragic, and her statement that running “is the only thing I have left” just tears your heart out.

It’s a real thing. I read about this with her a few weeks ago, but then she didn’t know about walking backwards or running forwards, apparently.
A most odd phenomena. If you look up the disorder, it is rare, but real. And it only gets worse over time.
Brains are funny things. For a long time, Scott Adams, the guy who pens "Dilbert", got Spasmodic Dysphonia and couldn't speak for over a year. Later could only talk verbally in rhymes, and this was part of his own therapy to restore normal speech.
So like anything, it could be a hoax, but keep an open mind (no pun intended).
For real.
This story has been out for over a week. She lives near DC in Vienna Va, and she was trying out to be a Redskins cheerleader or is one.
