Tourette's syndrome

[Lixus]

Do any of you have experience tics? Like what people with Tourette's have, do you know if anyone can have tics without having Tourette's? I've had tic (physically and verbal tics) during my whole life, not too much of them at the same period of time but I've had different types, for example now I can't stop nodding with my head really hard I even get headaches sometimes because of that.

I have ocd and anxiety and I don't know if I have also Tourette's or is just "simple" tics which other people can have

i’ve had a tic in one eye several different periods throughoutmy life. they last about 2 mos to a year or more. i didnt always realize it at the time, but it was always related to stress.

i think there are many possible causes, touretts probablybeing one of the least common

I suffer from a violent head jerk when cornered in a situation I want to escape from, usually when I’m being pestered by my wife and I’m concentrating, or wanting to concentrate on something else. There can be an out-burst too. It is unsettling, and hurts. I have to then find a quiet place, helpful if its dark and spend a little time reigning in and re-booting. It is wearing on my wife. (For pestered, read ‘asked a reasonable question’).
