Carly Fleischmann setback?

Post Reply New Topic

No new tweets or Facebook entries since the spring. She is a great advocate. I am concerned with the public appearances college it got to be to much. Her our our own KingdomofRats who needs to be away after a incident with another member voices are greatly missed.

she doesn't tweet very often but I hope all is well.in theory were not supposed to make a post about a member here but just out of curiosity,what happened to kingdom of rats?

I don't know the exact story but I remember reading that somebody denied her diagnosis and a bad reaction followed.

That's really a shame about KingdomofRats....I always liked her posts, and I like Carly Fleischmann, too. Hope KoR comes back.

Have you tried reaching out to her dad, Arthur? Maybe he knows what's up?

Expressing Concern is not the same thing as prying for details. If they wanted the information public they would have made a statement. Some people even in todays social media era consider that type information very private. And that is their right.

carly has not tweeted since may but she has a website

carlysvoice.com this link works because I tried it.carly just wrote a book
that might be whats occupying her time as of late.as far as kingdom of rats I know nothing

That book was released in 2012

Carly Fleichmann tweeted yesterday and said she has felt scrambled and overwhelmed and has not been typing much

Apparently this is the result of ECT.

This is carly's dad. all is fine. carly had ECT in march. since then she's been unable to type or go on FB. tonight has been the first words we'e heard from her since April! we're all with her and her doctor is on the case! thank you all for your kind words, prayers and concerns. this is actually a joyful time!



This makes me very angry due to very negative assumptions. Since I am not close to the situation I might be wrong. What ever the reasons for the setback I hope her tweet is the beginning the end of this setback and Carly's Voice comes makes a full comeback.

yes ECT was the reason which I later read on FB.that was not included in the tweet.

I should have reposted once I read the facebook article but forgot.her dad also said she is doing good and not to worry

Hello!

Call me stupid. What is ECT please?
(The modern habit of abbreviating everything is nutszoid)
i too read "Carly's Voice" and am concerned as to what happened.

Thank you someone...

Stupid.

Electroconvulsive therapy.

Thanks!
ElectroConvulsiveTherapy and i'm Stupid.
Why the bleep would they give her that?
Now THAT to me seems Stupid.
But what do we know out here...

That is usually given for severe depression and it is controversial. There has been a history torturing autistics with it to try shock the Autism out of them. If I remember you are in your 50's. As many of you American baby-boomers and older may remember back in 1972, Democratic nominee for President George McGovern being forced to dump his running mate Thomas Eagleton after it was revealed he had underwent "shock treatment" for depression. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/frenzy/eagleton.htm.

Back to Fleischmann that Facebook post read like it was written by a Public relations department
