Troubles for Towers Parry may have begun as recently as 2015 when she developed a “rapidly progressive neurologic” condition while working for Swedish Health Services

Ahh, this explains a lot.

Does multiple sclerosis affect your sanity like that?

Also, "has a 'rapidly progressive neurologic' condition for several years" and "can travel across the country to be part of a violent mob" would seem to be mutually exclusive, no?

Yeah, I try not to judge, but probably I don't try hard enough.

Thing is, I have known two people with multiple sclerosis, known them quite well, including my now-dead best friend. Neither of them went bonkers like this. My snap judgment says to blame Tamara Towers Parry for what Tamara Towers Parry did, not some medical condition.

I know a few people w MS also, and one of them went quite off the path. she imagined an entire person and flew internationally to meet them, but to this day we dont know if she flew to europe to do this or just believes she did. severely paranoid as well. all from the MS

Well, then I should probably have more sympathy for the late Dr Towers Parry. I'll work on it, seriously... but it won't be easy...
