Tourette's Syndrome - The Truth

Wouldn't you want acceptance?

*Negative comments are pointless, there is no need to bash on those who have disorders. You only prove to be the weaker one by being the bully rather than sticking up to one. Negative comments will be deleted and/or ignored*

I used to have very bad TS, but over time it slowed down. Now its just an occasional throat clearing here and there.

@manomow How old are you? And what did the doctors rate your severity as? Jw. There's a huge spectrum of severity when it comes to tics. Most ticcers severe tic days I would consider a mild day for myself. For it to slow down so much that it's just a throat clearing is pretty good!!!! More like, amazing! The fact mine got more severe with age is what's rare about me.

@jaydy11 Im 14. I was diagnosed at 6. I dont know what the rating was but it wasnt really "severe", it was just a major disturbance to the class and people around me. And later, I found that it was linked to stress, so Ive let it out in other productive ways.

@manomow Ohh okay, well that's awesome that you're calmer now!

No, one thinks you're faking it. TS is real.

[jaydy11]

@natedaug1 I wish I was faking so I could just stop!!! Thanks:)

@cjckiko1 Eh, Im not much of the athletic type. I just suppress it in with soda and skyrim now.

@jaydy11

I've had it for 20 years. I'm 30 and it comes and goes - depending on stress and external stimuli. However, my OCD and ADD problems have increased. Which, from my observation with an older relative who has TS, is the case. Co-morbid conditions are more subtle, but can be equally as debilitating as the initial onset of TS.

@manomow I ran cross country to relieve the excess energy and stress.

Now, cardio is my best friend :)

I like to think of my tourettes as my asshole filter. All the friends I have are pretty amazing. I'm 24 and I still tic a lot. For my age it's pretty severe, although it's been pretty bad my whole life. It has calmed down enough to function. I hope you're does the same.
