I also hadn't noticed in any of the other videos of yours that I've seen - and for what it's worth, you're very articulate in all of them, including this one.

You're brave to document it like this; I knew a little about Tourette's, but you've given a much more personal insight into it. I'm sure the video will help your family to better understand it, too. Good luck with the appointment, and let us know how it goes.

(Amusing to see ShaneFoxx here - I thought you looked alike from the start. :))

@pwbc ppl dont notice because like i said in the video...i have never had them this bad. they got worse, still are. but they are better now. i never make videos if my tourettes are too bad. thats why u dont realize them in my videos. i hate watching myself when they happen. i really wanna delete this video but i know i shouldnt

[schlagzpops60]

can you put one up of your muscle tics?? like your legs? get your budyd to film you or just set up a camrea and watch tv... it will be interesting to see if it is bad or not. but make sure you show your legs as well to show the muscle tics.

@schlagzpops60 ill try

[MakeupMeLove]

strange, i have never seen them before , and you have made alot of videos

[PhotogenicKid]

@MakeupMeLove i know. but like i said in my video, i rarely have them this strong, its been happening for a week, but today they have died down a bit, finally. i watch my videos and i notice some of my tics, but like i said, they are minor and u cant tell them apart from my average weird movements lol. and its also another reason why i barely show my face in my videos. i hate making videos when they are bad. its embarrassing.

I pray for. You !

Ah, I hear you now say "OCD comes with tourettes:…Now I can understand what you mean…makes perfect sense, sighhh,

[SillyConeBaby]

I have severe OCD…when you mention tourettes, it seems scarily similar…unless I just have both :-O

[M111771]

I have tourette's too :) You don't look weird at all with your tics, everyone thinks they look weird but you honestly don't. Nice video ;)

[Truedantalion]

Documenting the tics is a very good idea. Those videos might even be helpful for your appointments with the specialist!

I'm sending you loads of best wishes and hope that those appointments will help, and the specialist will come up with some successful treatment for you. Keeping my fingers crossed for you big time - even on the risk of making typos then when I write .. But hey, I make them anyways, so there's no real harm done by that, right? :-)!

Hugs, and stay strong, my friend!

You should leave the video up. Others will find it and most likely try to contact you. You should document medication you try and what happens when you see your doctor. Like you said they are not quick to diagnose it. You and your parents will see things long before those (I hate to say stupid) ignorant doctors will. Doctors don't see what they don't look for. The medical system is screwed up, so watch out for yourself when they put you on medications.
