  • @drowzy721 Thats nice.

  • This is a good video in that This particular doctor speaks about the comorbidities that ALWAYS accompany those who really do have Tourettes Syndrome. My son's medications had these side affects. One med caused him to be constipated which was relieved with stool softener pills and these can be found at health stores if you like(but check with doctor first) The second side affect he had was drowsiness which was from the clonidine. The other two medications he took did not cause side effects

  • @eXPerienceyeah ignorance

  • @Hungland Because Tourette's in adults is very rare. Most sufferers of Tourette's (children) have their symptoms disappear or at least get very mild by adulthood. A few unlucky individuals have their symptoms get worse (like mine) or stay relatively at the same level of severity into adulthood. If you have any questions about dealing with severe Tourette's as an adult you can contact me.

  • is it true that people with tourette syndrome are commonly gifted?i mean,for example,if they are intelligent,or what??

  • it would really suck to have TS

  • @Hungland

    it's annoying huh. but it's because most people get diagnosed in childhood and they figure well have it worked out bu adulthood. what they dont seem to grasp is how many people didnt find out till later on in life

  • thank you for the info

  • lol had a laugh about the hammer.. like it's in the arms or knees, hahaha it is neurological
