This video is not comprehensive yet. I plan on doing some a bit more extensive, but I wanted to get this up while I was thinking about it.

  • How the hell do you read if your eyes do that?

  • Very good question, and one I've asked myself many times. For a long time, I just had to set the book down until I was done ticcing. But now, because I have the Kindle, I just have to use my ears while my eyes are ticcing. The Kindle reads the book to me. And when I'm not ticcing, I still have it read and I just read along.

  • I have a very similar tic to that Brian. I tried for years to control my tics and hide from the fact that that I probably had TS (til I was diagnosed 22 months ago); it has given me some very painful problems, mainly with my neck, where I have given myself a prolapsed disc through trying to control my head nodding and neck stretching. Thanks for the tip on the book reading thing...!!!

  • You're most welcome. My tics have changed now. It's like changing from a caterpillar to a butterfly, except I'm the kind of butterfly that punches random things and says "huh" a lot. haha. I'm working on figuring out how to fix those. When I figure that out, I'll certain make a vid about it. Thanks for the comment.

  • Get a squishy ball!!!! It's a best friend for coping :)

  • That is a great suggestion, Shayn. Perhaps I should start a list in the description box of ways to control tics. I might give this one a try if my tics get any worse. Thanks for the post!
