yep, it's true. I went to the doctor because I have these weird things known as tics. it turns out I have tourrettes, or something that will likely develop into it. they call them movement disorders or something like that. :Swoon:
there not that bad. I have one twitch I do alot, but I don't have alot of different tics.and please people, don't assume I'm someone who just can't help but scream obscenities. That is actually extremely rare. All I do is twitch my neck, occasionally shake my arm, and tap my feet. I also have a few ocd qualities.
I know a guy with tourettes that swears randomly. one time I was talking to him about something random and he was dropping fucks and shits left and right. but you said movement disorders, and theres all kinds of tourettes. supposedly its not noticable to the person who has it unless its pointed out to them.

Did you actually go to a doctor and ask about your tics?What were the procedures for diagnosis?

I just did my presentation on Tourette's Syndrome in my health care class 2 weeks ago. Have you heard about the guy that rides motocross with Tourette's? He doesn't have it real bad and only really tics when he gets nervous. His name is Twitch. He was on True Life : I have Tourettes.
I hope your case isn't as bad as the people I saw on True Life. Random screams, spilling drinks on dates it must suck.
yeah reppin, I went to a doctor today about. and it's really different than most think. Most people are able to suppress the tics over a long period of time. It's just that if I do suppress them, it builds up a bit.

Hopefully it isn't that bad. I empathize for you though, I know a lot of people with serious illnesses and I have to say you're luckier to have tourettes than something much more life-wrecking.
