I wonder if enopugh people understand that OCD is not all about washing your hands over and over or dressing and undressing etc. Just like Tourettes Syndrome is NOT all about the tics.. I hope enough people know this because it assist in understanding of person with this genetic disorder. My son and I were very very very fortunate, My sons doctors, teachers and friends favored him. I have heard of people being teased daily, we just did not exsperience this. A great Networks makes the difference.
People with TS have universally low magnesium levels, and many also have low zinc levels. Magnesium is the gatekeeper in the brain regarding how much dopamine and serotonin it absorbs. We have experimented with my son who has TS and have learned that his tics are significantly reduced if he eats 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds daily. The seeds have one of the highest naturally occurring amounts of magnesium and zinc. Best of luck to all of you.
@mensan007 what do you do for his associated disorders? maybe he doesn't have the Comorbids. I have heard that some do not but have never met anyone who has Tourettes and doesn't have the associated disorders like OCD, ADHD and more.
thats incredibly ignorant. Tourettes syndrome is an incurable disorder. Coprolalia is a vocal tic where the person says innapropriate words or slurs, they have no control over it, it like asking you not to blink. Supressing tics gives them a horrible unsettling feeling. Try not to blink for a few minutes..
Actually thats just 1/3 of cases and on closer examination most people who claim it went away still have a few tics they're just so mild they don't even notice them.
@dc5000 This is exactly the best way to explain Tourette Syndome to people who don't have, trying to stop a tic is exactly like or similar in feeling as to stop blinking. My first tic at the age of 5, was in fact compulsive blinking, this is how all this started

what about good old disipline? swearing kids need thrashing not holidays or pills. a quick beating would shut them up and teech them good maners of our sosiety.
@cryosun I really hope you aren't suggesting that discipline will get rid of tourettes. Imagine dropping the n-bomb when you see a black person at the store before you even have time to stop it. Or maybe an irresistible urge that can only be rid of by flexing the right muscles or even hitting yourself in the right place. You've never experienced this, so you are in no place to judge.
@ZiggyOsiris Oh, heaven's no! Some jerk was saying "these kids just need discipline". Their grammar and spelling was as if they were drooling that nonsense into the keyboard. The comment was meant for that incompetent jerk who thinks dominance and punishment are the solution for everything. Discipline does not teach spelling, or cure mental illness, I promise!

So Justin are you suggesting that those who believe in the bible are not educated ?
But for the record it's a saying like nerves of steal or mad as a hatter ..The patience of Job is actually a common expression in America ..
