Tourette Syndrome
tourette syndrome Information
What's the difference between epilepsy and tourette syndrome?
I'm seeing a doctor about tourette syndrome?
I'm going to see a doctor later this week to see if I have tourette syndrome or not. What should I tell the doctor and how am I diagnosed? Do I need to show him the tics or something? Will he take a blood sample? What should I do when I meet the doctor? I'd really appreciate if someone who has TS, knows someone who has TS, or just anyone who can give me an answer.Thanks
Do I have tourette syndrome please don't be mean:(?
Please don't say anything rude because I'm going to give my list of symptoms and it's really embarrassing. I can't help it. I don't do anything noticeable I don't think. The tics I have just make me uncomfortable and they occur everywhere basically. Legs, arms, stomach, sometimes multiple places at once. I jerk really really rarely. Usually when I'm waking up in the morning. I also think I might have a vocal tic that is constant swallowing. I also have some others that make me feel very bad about myself and that is finger sniffing. I don't ever do this in front of people. And I never will. But I can't tell if it's voluntary or involuntary. I have OCD and other habit issues dermatillomania etc . It just happened and I'm really having trouble stopping. I also have an urge in my head to throw things or grab onto things. I've never done it. So I question if this is my OCD as well. I used to have perfectionism and classic OCD when I was much younger but the symptoms have because much more mild compared to what they were. Can anyone help shed some light on where OCD ends and tourettes could possibly begin for me? Please no " you're f cking crazy" comments. I seriously have heard enough of that. I tried posting about this in a support group and I got no answers. So asking here. I AM GOING TO ASK A DOC. Just to let you guys know. But I don't go back for another couple of weeks so I just want some idea from anyone who thinks they might have some education on this. Thanks.I also wasn't sure if my tics could have been medication related. I was on trazadone a year ago and I think tics started shortly after, possibly during. And I thought maybe they never went away. I also was on risperdol for my OCD many years ago. And that caused severe tics and jerking so I had to be taken off of it. Didn't know if any of this could have caused permanent effects on my body. I'm aware of the 3 motor tics and a vocal tic rule. I've also had the symptoms for over a year. Also I do not have the things you described. Like I said, the tics are not noticeable to others. They are small twitches in different parts of my legs, knees, arms. No one sees them. I just feel them. if I do have tourettes I'm afraid that I can keep myself from grabbing and throwing things now... but that it might get worse and I will start to actually do it. I have read that swallowing is a vocal tic. that's the thing . I really can't make them stop. Because they are like skin twitches. So I push on them with my hands to make them stop and they just keep going. I don't know if when you have tourettes you get twitches like that. But they are over a small area of just skin no jerking or anything so I feel really incapable of making them stopStress definitely worsens it though. Especially the more I think about it and am afraid of it happening, it happens. So I may have more control over it than I even realize. no they're definitely twitches. It's like the kind of twitch you get in your eye sometimes, you know? But just different parts of my leg and arms will have a twitch like that. I press sometimes to try and make it stop D I feel like I'm not explaining this very well I do have tingling in my hands from the topamax I take for bipolar, though. I've had that since I was very small. Aw I didn't mean to make you start doing it hahaha.
Question for people with tourette syndrome?
do you have any recurring obsessions or thoughts that provoke the severity of your tics? what are they?
Do I have tourette syndrome, tics, ADHD, anxiety, and/or OCD?
This is like the 3rd question I have asked today or something so excuse me for that, I'm just a girl with a lot of questions who finally decided to use Yahoo answers...lol mkay, so for a long time I would say about close to a year from now but I think I had this a while back when I was 10 for a short time I have been doing a lot of things out of my control that really annoy me. I have this tendency to roll my eyes up a lot or say...stretch my eyes , crack & stretch my mouth, crack my neck, crack & stretch my hands, crack & stretch my feet, and sometimes stretch my shoulders when I start thinking about it or if I just look at my hands it makes me start stretching my hands which lead me to rolling my eyes and stretch my mouth I tend to have problems with my eyes, mouth, and hands the most and I have no control of it whatsoever. None of the stuff I mentions come all of the sudden, if I let the thought in for one second, the next second I'm doing it. Another problem is that I tend to have this urge to talk or saying something sometimes but I do have a way of suppressing it by yawning. It tends to affect my work a little when I try to write something because my hand has the urge to stretch or my eye's have the urge to move to much and I can't see what I am doing.I do have this thing where without me acknowledging it or having any control over it I just randomly jerk my head to the left just the left . I have a tendency to do this at least once or more a dayI have noticed I have been distracted with a few things lately, especially today. When my father was talking to me a few times today, I lost my some of my attention to him and almost didn't comprehend what he was trying to tell. I was kinda distracted even though I wasn't think of anything. I have this thing when I stand up that I can't stand still unless I'm doing something while I stand still but I normally just walk around in circles or back in forth a lot personal fitness before the couch comes out . When I sit down, its like every 5 minutes I change my position and sometimes if I really can't sit down, I tend to change my position every 10 seconds.I am a girl of many questions. When I am alone or I'm doing nothing and I'm laying in bed, I start to think of one question that leads to another question that leads to whole bunch of other questions. Then I start to get really into and I start to get scared. I worry about everything in a sense. I fear death because I don't know when the people I love will die and when I will die and then I wonder, what happened will happen to me once I die? will I go to heaven if there even is one , will I be reborn into another human being, will I just die and not go anywhere, it scares me because I don't know. I fear space, it's so big and dark and it feels so lonely and on going like nobody there yet we are here but we are like particles, we can't be seen because we are so small and it scares me to feel that small and helpless. I fear the dark, it feels like there's something or someone there watching you but you don't know it, I don't like that feeling. I fear my other things but these are my main ones. When I think about it, I just get really freaked out and I start to have difficulty breathing and I have very shaky breathing.I have this thing where I have to put things my way not to sound bratty , do something in particular way, or just do something in particular. Here are some examples to what I am trying to say these are things I do that I would feel awkward and uneasy not doing it 1.When I am putting some type of object somewhere, I just don't throw it to some random place, I put it somewhere where I feel comfortable with and I will straighten it out to put it in order.2.When I am typing on the computer, I have this urge to type one letter or letters in particular that could be from a particular side or I just want to random type words from one particular side to the other I actually have that urge right now and I have been doing the same thing almost 6 times like jdvhyewgshjnhgfvdhsg and when I do that, I tend to touch my nails and flick them a lot3.Another urge of mine that I have is that I like to pull or push on the buttons a lot I actually have 3 buttons gone now which are the left, down, and pg up buttons. I almost broke my enter button I don't know why, I just do4.When I'm almost done drinking a juice or a bottle of water, I always tend to pat the bottom of the bottle and try to get as much of it out. I feel weird when there is a tiny bit left. To check if it's empty and there is almost nothing else to drink, I will shake the bottle to see if there is any impact from the liquid and if there isn't, I'm finished with it.
I have tourette syndrome and should I worry about this?
I have tourette syndrome and I have had it since I was diagnosed as a kid. It's not bad. I'm 22 now and through my life I have went through hand ticks which I still have, I houses to stutter badly. I still stutter but barely. The tick I have had my entire life is a facial tick lick blinking a lot when nervous and snapping my head to the left. It's not as bad is it used to be. Iv played with straws my entire life and I don't think that will ever stop but ky main concern is....Will it get worse and or can you get new ticks as life goes on? Like will I ever get a verbal tick that causes me to yell out? Any info on weather or not it can get worse will help? Iv been really worried Note I don't consider it to be bad and I don't even think my grandparents know I have it just ky GF and parents brother. I just don't know if I'd be able to handle making others feel uncomfortable if it gets worse. It SUCKS because society doesn't care or know what it's like and I'd hate to be judged by them because I can't take I well.

I am bipolar and have tourette syndrome but......?
I am bipolar and have tourette syndrome. I am on 500mg of Depokate and something for the tourette's too. Once in a while I will just be doing something and from no where become very angry, when this happens to deal with it I will cut myself or hurt myself in some way to deal with the anger and adrenaline rush. Does anyone know what kind of problem this is or what it is called ?
Can mold be the cause of my niece acquiring the symptoms of tourette syndrome?
She has multiple tics and the allergist stated that her high levels of mold in her blood had nothing to do with her symptoms. Something in me says that the two are related. Any thoughts?
What are the environmental influences on tourette syndrome?

I have ADHD OCD and tourette syndrome. All mild and I'm not on meds for lack of need. Can I join the military?
Not of age yet but when I am I'd like to know it's an option. It is been known to be a common combination of the 3 and most likely won't go to college because of the fact that faculty treat me different even thow I'm just as functional as the rest. Is there any options please help. I may not have any other options and am tired of jokes about these dissorders.
Do I have tourette syndrome?
I can't really remember when it started but I'm pretty sure I have the minor kind, my granddad might have it which has nearly made me certain I have it. He shrugs his shoulders constantly, he twitches a lot and clears his throat a lot to. I've researched that if your under stress that's when the tics start, so when I'm in a room with people that I don't know that well I start to twitch even though I like to talk to people even if I don't know them. My right eye blinks quite often as well involuntary, my head twitches quite often and I clear my throat often to. It does hinder my confidence, should I go to the doctors and what should I say, I'm 18 btw.
Do you have a tourette syndrome or OCD?
i sometimes feel like a freak. i never told any of my friends that i suffer from that ...and probably never will because i'm too scared to lose them, i try to act normal when i'm around them..i have panic attacks too but that i can control when i'm in public. but tourette's is hard to control even when in public. i mostly cough clear my throat or do a really weird sound like a humm with my throat . and ocd which i can control in public, if there is a sink beside me i will wash my hands for a long long time, and i do it's involuntary i sometimes even not pay attention to it but just keep washing and rewashing my hands until they feel clean for me. sometimes i wash then close the tap and then feel that i need to do it again and then start all over. i dunno, well i'm crazy about that i know. but i feel so alone, i don't know any one who has that too. if you do have that counld you tell me when are you repetitions? i feel sooo alone and if i get stressed i start to have a feeling that i'm choking .. is that normal?i'm diagnosed for these two things
