i get shivers down my spine and sometimes when I shiver, I have to shake my head or move my hands when I do it as well. Im wondering if I have Tourette's. Shoudl I go to the doctor about It? I need some advice
@Lyss27PIVI Have you figured out if it is a tic yet? I do the same thing. I get them like all the time, unless i'm watching out for them, and my head ALWAYS turns to the right. My shoulders shrug and my neck muscles are almost stiff and my head slowly urges over as I shiver. I have Aspergers Syndrome, which is sometimes associated with other things such as Tourette's. So I was curious if shivering was a tic, but i cant find anything about it. Sorry I'm not any help to you! :)
@fredthesmerff no i haven't. That's what I was wondering too, if shivering is even a tic, but I think I will get it checked out soon. I'll look up what Asperger's Syndrome is too, so in a way you helped! :)
@fredthesmerff I know someone who has aspergers and tourettes sydnrome.
they are both in the same spectrum.
I think that if anyone wants to learn more about Tourettes, The worse thing you can do is read or watch or listen to the people that are only speaking about the Tics. Tourettes syndrome is not all about the tics. If you have several tics you may have a tic disorder, different than having TS. Peace
When im trying to sleep on my back i can't and I have to keep rolling over sometimes, even though i tell myself stay still, it just builds up and i feel i have to roll over, my legs feel all heavy if i dont.
@fleece96 It can be pronounced later in life sometimes. My tics were at their peak when I was around 24 or 25. And now that I'm on meds it is controlled a little. I still have really bad tics sometimes that pulls and strains muscles, and I'm 31. Through time my tics have gotten worse, but with proper diagnosis, you can get great help these days.
Very nice film. As a child I hated my tics. Now I see how talented most people with Tourette's are. You get a talent, combined with a tic, I guess. I have got some control. Some people like my tics, some hate them, some think they are attractive. I have Autism as well and I feel really happy with all my 'gifts'. I won't call Tourette's a disease cause I don't feel sick and I don't want to be cured.
Feeling symptoms coming is not absolute. I have do tics constantly I do not feel coming at all. I have felt slaming my head on things coming before. Once I knocked my head on a bar over and over until I had a concussion. I felt so many tics in general, but none specifically that night, but I slammed my head when the tis paused for a long time first and I did not feel that tic soming at all.
it's a disorder, and as far as my research has been able to dig my experience tells me the causality of unvoluntary motion is revealed within or somehow related to the Betz Cells.
TS is weird, but that doesn't mean it's not me. It's a movement disorder, beginning middle finish. And.. it's a weird one, but that's it. The brain has an extra set of synapse firing for those of us tic-heads. Strangely enough one of the biggest precipitating factors is weather pressure. Many of us are walking (jumping, barking etc.) barometers. You can tell if a storm is on the way if you have a friend with TS. As for meds, no thanx. I don't mind being a bit weird. Better than being flat.
I am a believer in Christ and I firmly believe that God does have a hand in our daily lives. I also have Tourette's, and anyone who says it's a demon is just ignorant. I mean seriously... not everything has to be some supernatural force. Tourette's is just a neurological disorder, I can't imagine why that's so hard to grasp.
i have urges to blink hard,make this 'uh' sound while my is closed, and this is kinda hard to explain but,say if my knee is itchy. ill scratch it,thenn scrath my other knee twice then scratch the other knee. or if i punch something ill punch with my other fist twice the the other fist
I have tourettes, epilepsy and refractive chronic major depression. I don't think this excerpt from the movie really showed much. It didn't speak about the tics as such and what they feel like. It showed it from a different perspective and what it isnt.
For anyone who has TS here, I think it's demon possession. Not like, always on, but in those feeting seconds of time, they take you over and make you do stuff that you don't wanna do. Now, I don't wanna get into a serious debate, but for anyone who has TS, do they hear a voice that tells them to do whatever until you finally do it, or is it just like random?
How am I an idiot? Cuz I think it's a demon, unlike what most people believe? No, saying I'm an idiot doesn't bring a reasonable debate. Look up tourette's girl. It's a demon.
how are you an idiot?? let me count the ways. tourettes syndrome is a neurological disorder caused by abnormalities in certain brain regions including the frontal lobes, basal ganglia, and cortex, the many complex circuits that interconnect these regions, and the neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine responsible for communication among nerve cells. this, my friend, is scientific FACT.
what you're proposing is no different from the prevailing mentality responsible for the unjust and utterly idiotic persecution of innocent human beings during the Salem Witch Hunts. it is people like you who perpetuate the stigma plaguing many of todays common disorders, purely out of IGNORANCE.
Then tell me this - what causes this? Sin, which tainted the world. Explain why the tourette girl acts so much like someone who was demon possessed (or in any case, IS demon possessed). Violent behavior, dirty mouth, no respect for anyone. It's a demon, but scientists give people a long explanation of what is so simple...it's a demon, but since the majority of scientists don't believe in them, they try to compensate and give a reasonable explanation.
that's real mature. You just can't accept the fact that you were wrong. Compare for me what demon possessed people and that tourette girl have in common? Perhaps you need to watch both and then tell me what they have in common. Go ahead, I'll wait.
you were brought up in a real religious house weren't you. listen sweety, stop watching the sci-fi movies yeah? this isn't Constantine or the Exorcist here. it's a medical condition. or if you're right, i guess we'll have to start calling the priests in and ask them to stop cancer, i think it's pretty much of a demon in it's self. and that flu bug?? exterminate the sob already!!!!
Okay, I don't watch sci-fi movies. Demons are real, and that's a fact. Tourettes is a simple scientific excuse from making people believe that demons are real and that they don't want people going to Christianity (most scientists are againt Christiantity...because most are atheists). If demons weren't real, I doubt the exorcist wouldn've been made, because people most likely wouldn've thought of them.
so the ufo's are real, the lochness monster, vampires, witches/werewolves..cos there are remedies and explenations to all those aswell. and just so you know in the olden days they used to lock away poeple with birth defficiencies cos they thought they were a punishment from god. and they used to let blood to cure the common cold.
do you still think that? and also that the common cold could be cured by draining 'the dirty blood' through series of little cuts. is that what you do? i mean you must cos you can't just believe in one thing like demons and not the rest of the stuff that doctor's have 'covered up cos they coudln't explain'.
That's probably true, but there's better ways now. That was when they didn't have the technology and medicinal discoveries we have today. We don't need to cut ourselves to cure a cold. We can just buy some medicine and take it.
exactly, just how you can take medicine now to control tourettes, even though to only a certain extent. there is no more proof to demons as there is to anything else, it depends on what you want to believe. have you ever seen god? no, it doesn't mean he doesnt exist, but neither does it mean he does. same thing with demons. they can exist, but not in medical ilnesses.
I know all that. But those are fake. They're old folk tales, never were real with no real proof. Demons do have proof. You can just look a person with tourette's and that's proof enough. Now, the person is perfectly fine, but it's the demon inside them that's the problem.
Tourettes is not demons, hon. It's a increase of functioning synapses in the brain. Put simply, it means that your brain is thinking it has to do more than it should. Thus, the "tics" of Tourettes. Hope this helps :)
It is gratifying to see these kind of videos posted on youtube. Thank you so much.. Hopefully people will learn tu understand TS and respect it. In the meantime, I thank God for persons that have great feelings and are willing to fight for a just cause. TS persons are humans just like everyone and we can do what we set our minds to. God bless you..
This is the best clip I've ever seen on TS. Good job, and well spoken. It is representative of everything I know from my experience with TS, and I thank you for posting it.
Many people with TS also have OCD. Tourette's is a spectrum disorder and can show up as many disorders. I, myself, have TS, OCD, ADHD, I am Bi-Polar, and I also have very mild tricholomania (I pull my hair out).
Why dont they post the entire video??? People need to see this stuff. I have ts and just got outta the hospital for head injuries. We need answers
