Question about Tourette's

[Mega1Jdude]

my eyes do same on book. i try read a book. not easy. i don't like read

[mosgrebe]

honestly, I dont care about your eyes rolling, cause your eyes look so beautiful, I mean they are big brown eyes, beautifuly shaped. I'm sorry, but I just couldn't help saying this..

[GreenGirl444]

lol, what book was it?

it takes me quite a while to read books i dont like too

[paddotk]

my question: is the eye-twitching your only tourettes symptom or do you have others? To me, it's nothing more than just one minor tick.

[27100007210]

i have a question, do you really think anybody gives a fuck that you have tourettes

[IsThisTourettes]

well, obviously not you.

but plenty more people do obviously because i have quite a lot of viewers and subscribers...so yeup.

if you don't give a fuck, don't watch my videos. it's a simple as that.

and if you actually didn't care you wouldn't have taken the time to comment.

:)

[paddotk]

some people, like me, are interested in the phenomenon. For whatever reasons. So yes, people surely do give a fuck.

@27100007210 fuck off i have it.im 14,and i knocked grown ups out.in 5th grade i told my teacher shut up motherfucker..i can fucking own u piece of shit,now shut the hell up and fuck off/

I also had problems with reading. I found the best remedy is to take some straight with a little weight, like a ruler, and place it above the line I'm currently reading. At times, I would jerk the ruler out of place, but usually, when I rolled my eyes, the ruler was right there to show me where I was. To this day, I still read with a ruler or anything that is straight. A bookmark works perfect for this. Hope this helps.

Try putting a pencil check mark next to each line you start to read in a book. That way, you can find where you left off each time.

[OniShow]

aww that was the cutest "bye" ever

[skaterlife122]

do people make fun of u because of T.S. people make fun of my stuttering doesent that make u feel bad=[ and how long have u had T.S.

[IsThisTourettes]

not really, i just get stares, but, the thing is, i go to a private school, which deals with these things more easily..and ive had it since i was born, but ive had tics since i was 6 and was diagnosed at 13 and now im 14!! :)

hope alls goin well for u!!

[skaterlife122]

lol i got to a catolic school and people still beat me up cuz of this and cuz this happens when i read out loud so now im taking boxing because im tired of getting beat up at school so next year might be better...i hope

[IsThisTourettes]

thats horrible!!! so they actually phyically beat you??

[skaterlife122]

yeah but im taking boxing now so this year might be better at least i hope

[IsThisTourettes]

haha!!! that will teach them!!

[skaterlife122]

lol

[paddotk]

Try kung fu, much more effective ;)

Besides, defending yourself is one thing, but you can also prevent the fighting from happening. Just be confident and show that to others. It really helps. If they mess around, and go too far, get mad. Don't show you're scared or insecured in the first place.

[AfterLifeMan32]

Just wondered if you ever fought against the tics you do ?

im 33 now and overcame TS when it was at its worst for me, the headaches from nodding and eyeache from hard blinking i could not take no more. So one day i decided to fight against it and won :)

i've heared people say you should just let the tics come, but i say fight against it.

Everyone with TS has at one point held in a tic, this in itself is proving that you can resist even if its just for a short time. Practice makes perfect :)

[IsThisTourettes]

hmm...I have held in tics for long periods of times, but i physiclly dont feel right and i feel really weird... idk

glad that you over came yours!!

[deadfray]

Stay positive!

<333333333

[mythebau]

I miss you...im getting sicker and less mobile...i will not however have you to feel any sense of my pain..that would be so wrong...i only wish you peace, love and above all..the understanding of what it's like to live in the moment..(which btw..is the ONLY place u can truly find pure love) Jenni

[IsThisTourettes]

I love you Jenni.

My only wish is to take away all of you pain.

I hope that you will be no longer in pain one day.

[mythebau]

Ty Alex..your love and kindness is extremely appreciated..btw..back at'cha g/f!!! :)

[tapfreak003]

hey you know when you said you suspected that it was ts before your diagnosis, did you tell your mum that you thought it was ? x

[IsThisTourettes]

no!!

I don't know why..

[mythebau]

This is "Not" a joke. I am wondering if you can use T.S. to come up with a comedy routine, song, or to incorporate the T.S. some how into something artistically and/or something likeminded to bring awareness in a pop-culture type of way...Am I making sense to anyone?? I hope .I also hope others may be on the same page of what I am trying to relate here??? ;) Luv and hugs and as always..."Cupcakes" Which someone taught me that it also means... "amour'

[IsThisTourettes]

:)

If you help me, I will do it!!

[mythebau]

Would love to help..but other then dance classes and wanting desprately to be the first girl in our family to own and ride a Harley Davidson..im not the most gifted artist for asking that..but would help with thoughts? idk..that reply seemed pretty lame hey? eeek..sorry but..hey..............je t'aime (big time!!)

[mythebau]

For Alex and all of those w/T.S. - I pray and hope that you always keep this in mind..T.S. is NOT who you are, but a condtion that is :"apart" of your life and....in reality...an extremely small part of who your are!! I love you all and in our community of helping each other (cupcakes :) Let none of us be unconscious of who we "Really" are :) luv and hugs!! Me

[IsThisTourettes]

I <3 U!!!

[LauraIsobelx]

My best friend has tourettes. And it's kinda weird because I go to an all girl's school and another girl in the school has it.. And tourettes is supposed to be really rare and especially rare in girls!! So it's strange that 2 girls in my school have it..

[IsThisTourettes]

Its actually not rare at all. 1 in 1000 people have it. But boys have it 3 to 4 more times than girls, so its pretty cool that you have 2 GIRLS in your school with the disorder!!

[paddotk]

are you sure it's not 1 in 100? At least that's what is said here: watch?v=OvwTBRsBOFk

[labelladelmondo]

good video...thanks

[IsThisTourettes]

:P!!

[icecreamandsingasong]

With ts it is very hard to focus I read very slow I keep repeating words I also read what I want. and what is not really interesting I skip so at the end i made my own story almost cool huh!

[icecreamandsingasong]

I want to say wauw thank you for you nice video's another tourettes girl on YT!! yess great how you deal with it, do ask people a lot about your tic;s people actually never ask me while it is very obvious, isn't that weird?

[IsThisTourettes]

Never ask me either...they only stare, when my neck tic is bad..it makes me feel sad sometimes...

but TS rocks!!!

[mythebau]

If you go to war against your illness..u only give it strength..if you resist ..it will persist..if you embrace and love it..you find peace and win!! Your above comment showed the later that "You" have in your life..Im proud 4 U!!! Srsly...you are YEARS ahead of your own time..your fantastico!! (inside joke) Hugs

[icecreamandsingasong]

Yeah the worst part of tourettes is actually the staring and hiding and being ashamed of feeling! xoxo Jane

[HEARTANDSOUL1983]
