The poor woman was trying to surrender to someone, anyone, when she was correctly diagnosed with "Can't we all just get along" syndrome.

Mon Dieu - c'est impossible!

"It might sound funny to others, but suddenly thinking you are French is terrifying,"

The definitive quote.

"It might sound funny to others, but suddenly thinking you are French is terrifying," she said.

I can imagine.

[Rb ver. 2.0]

She started speaking French all the time, rang her friends to invite them to stay in the French capital - and asked to eat croissants, as well as started drinking over-priced wine and stopped shaving her legs/pits.

My God, what a horrible affliction. I'd prefer total amnesia to this dreadful fate.

[Slings and Arrows]

CESM bump!

[tx_eggman]

She was also plagued by migraines and hallucinations and ended up so confused that her worried family took her to hospital

Sounds like the typical behavior of a surrender monkey to me.

so many jokes, so little time

"It might sound funny to others, but suddenly thinking you are French is terrifying," she said

It's both funny AND terrifying, if you ask me.

I hope for her family's sake that she didn't adopt prevalent French hygiene practices.....

The woman who woke up thinking she was French

Her attempt to surrender to her alarm clock gave doctors their first clue in the case.

"Oh My God, she spoke French, somebody help her."

"It might sound funny to others, but suddenly thinking you are French is terrifying," she said."

[Slings and Arrows]

She was diagnosed when she farted in the doctor's general direction.

Louise Clarke is only one of 200 people in the world to develop Susac's Syndrome

At least she didn't develop Sousa's Syndrome, where you come to believe you're a French Horn.

WHAT is this? (Sly smirk atcha)

[the invisib1e hand]

"It might sound funny to others, but suddenly thinking you are French is terrifying," she said

Sounds like those dreams where you're running but get nowhere, like your feet are in molasses, or you scream and no one hears you, or you throw a punch and no matter how hard you hit it's in slow motion, or you walk to school in your underwear...

Impotency dreams, I guess you'd call 'em. Yeah, it's just like that!

Miss Clarke also thought she was in Vietnam

Sounds like I was wrong about Lauren Crossan...
