The truth about Tourette's syndrome

A simple, short, self-explanatory video.

This is not a comedy. If you are looking for something to laugh at, please go elsewhere.

If you have any (polite, respectful, genuine, mature) questions, please go ahead and ask and I'll do my best to try and answer them for you :)

@Mr6eebeerend: (cont.) As for clearing your computer of my 'rubbish' - do so! I'm not making you watch my videos and you don't have to comment on any of them. Goodbye and I wish you and your father all the best.

@Mr6eebeerend: (cont.) As for Tourette syndrome being only a disorder of involuntary swearing, you have missed the point of this very video - only about 10% of people with TS have coprolalia (involuntary swearing). Visit the Tourettes Action UK website (or the website of another TS organisation) if you would like confirmation of this. (Cont...)

@Mr6eebeerend: (cont.) tic with my diaphragm and throat. This causes a variety of problems. I didn't choose to use the services of *four* neurologists, so don't blame me for that one. Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, but surely it would be far better to express it in a calm, mature manner rather than firing off insults. Perhaps then I might listen to you and treat your comments with a little more respect. And wrongly accusing me of 'hacking' your account hardly helps your case. (Cont...)

@Mr6eebeerend: (cont.) need for you to take out your anger about yours on me. Moving on: I don't juat twitch a tiny bit every now and then - I'm purposelessly twisting and tensing muscles around my body all the time. These aren't really noticeable to anyone else but they are noticeable to me and it can get quite painful after a while but, apart from these videos, I generally keep quiet about it. The worst one of all is the breathing one - I have trouble breathing normally, as I (cont,..)

@Mr6eebeerend: (cont.) My grandmother developed dementia about a month and a half ago when she fell and hit her head, causing bleeding on the brain. She subsequently fell and broke her hip; because of this and the dementia, she needs constant care. She doesn't recognise any of us: that's it - gone. Yet still with us...in a sense. So are we going to turn this into some sort of 'my beloved relative's iller than yours' contest? I would hope not. Everyone has their problems and there is no (cont...)

@Mr6eebeerend: I'm not sulking. I don't care what you think but I do mind that you feel justified and qualified in judging and condemning me when you don't know me or my full situation. It is sad that your father has cancer but that doesn't prohibit others from talking about any other problems. Whole families are being shot and bombed and driven from their homes around the world. Does that mean you may never speak of your father's illness? Does it mean you never complain about anything?

good video! It's always good to show people the truth about how wrong stereotypes actually are.

@MapleContest: Thank you for sharing your immaturity with us all.

@Mr6eebeerend Yes your father has cancer. That doesn't mean you can single handedly accuse an entirely different medical illness of not existing as if you have some sort of autocratic authority over the entire field of medicine. I have lost a parent myself. I deal with it. I also deal with a neurological disorder every waking second of every day that makes life impossible. You think you know how it feels? I wish you could. You would shut up with your bullshit then.

@Mr6eebeerend Live for one day in my body mate you'd fucking top yourself. Fuck off and study Neurology then you absolute wanker. You deserve fuck all talking to people like that.

@Mr6eebeerend U lie, the main symptom is not swearing, its coprolalia

[Mr6eebeerend]

You wasted the time of 4 nurologists and they are paid a fortune.This money would be better spent on people with real illness.You say i,m stirring up trouble and that I should'nt draw attention to myself.So I will stop.And I will endeaver to wipe clean my computer of all your rubbish.And now I know what you are like.I will read not 1 word futher of any of your nonsence.Get real you fake.
