Q&A: Living With Tourettes Syndrome by HungryAardvark
Since I was 5 years old, I have been living with Tourette's Syndrome. If you don't know what it is, it's a neurological disorder in which the body makes sudden, repetitive, rapid and unwanted movements or vocal sounds called tics. I am unable to control when they happen, and I can't stop it from happening. However, I am lucky that my tics are not as severe as other people's. My current tics are hard and reptitive blinking, throat grunting noises, head tilting, and face scrunching. Read comments.

This is not a vent in any way, I'm just trying to let more people know about this condition. I'm accepting of my tourettes, as it makes me unique and is now part of me. As the title says, this is a Q&A, so if you want to ask anything about or relating to tourettes, I will gladly answer you. :)

@Ender1872 I think there are other things that can cause tics? Is that the only one or are there others?

yeah there are like ummm 2 others i think? (head jerks to the side/shoulders move back) and my mom thought it was a magnesium deficiency but taking magnesium didnt help lol
i do know anxiety causes tics sometimes but i dont think thats it either so it is a mystery

One of my family members has this condition. It does seem over time the family member managed to control it more, but it did make things difficult.
