A Friend from Micronesia

About roughly four days ago, Marlon and I went to St. Lukes Medical Center to visit a family from Micronesia where the 6 year old kid was first diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome. They came to the Philippines in order to get more help with their kid's diagnosis. Marlon referred them to SLMC for a series of procedures. The Philippine Tourette Syndrome Association was introduced to them as a support system. The family was indeed very grateful primarily for Marlon's assistance and the piece of information that we have given them during their stay here in the Philippines.

PTSA Update!

There are some people who are actually contacting me for some relevant infos about TS. And these people have just been diagnosed to have the disorder or been looking for some Filipino site about TS. I want to thank my friends who keep on referring people who are involved with TS. We’re still on the process of expanding the Filipino TS network. And we need all the help we can get to jumpstart activities if not for the year, by next year.

This will also serve as a plea for my readers to keep writing and sending in comments. It would be very nice for you to come back as often as possible. The founders of the Philippine Tourette Syndrome Association are doing everything they can to keep the organization alive and relevant to all of you.

For teens or even children who are willing to exchange personal emails, you can contact me or Mr. Marlon Barnuevo at barnuevo@yahoo.com for some chit-chats about Tourette syndrome. Personal meetings are also welcome. We are here to help you out with anything else regarding Tourette syndrome. It would be very nice to introduce yourself to us.

For the meantime, again send in your stories for inspiration and keep visiting.
