Hey I kind of have it but I do foward or just small shakes and it is so annoying. For a week I stopped doing it but it's come back and doing a bit more. Wish there was a way to stop this from happening.

Hi there, so sorry to hear about your tics causing such discomfort. I wonder if you have been to see a specialist or a behavioural therapist who might be able to help you with your tic and perhaps help it from being so painful? If you are interested we can send you a list of specialists and a list of therapists known to Tourettes Action that might be able to help? Please call Helpdesk 0300 777 8427. Best wishes

I too get muscle cramp which isn't much fun. This has got worse I have got older. I don't know if I have Tourettes. I have increasing problems for 12 years. I have made an appointment with Spiritual Healer for guidance. If he cannot help I think he has better chance of passing me on to whoever!

I get interference in my nose. But wherever there muscle endings I get attacks mostly pain. There are nerve endings in the eyes too. I get frequent burping, farting, coughing & yawning. Those are audible tics. Much more than the average person.
