Did Cheerleader Fake a Muscle Disorder?:Retro mad:

This was aired on 20/20 on 7/23/10.

Perhaps people should make comments on this? I do not like how they ask 1 doctor if 1 dose of mercury (Thimerosal) in the Flu shot would be enough to cause this. He says no of course, I am sure this has not been documented, and why would they want to document this?:eek:

I do not think it was quite the right question to ask, she probably has lots of Mercury in her system already, and perhaps the Flu shot (and perhaps other unknown antagonist) lead to her disease/illness?!:confused:

I think she is getting slammed all over the internet and doctors have told her it is in her head, sound familar to some?:(
