help

[Nolongerinuse]

basically, i need some help. I am only looking this up as im worried i have tourettes. As for the last week and half, i keep experiencing like the vocal type of tic, like clearing my throat or twisting my neck and cringing. I don't know what to do but if i told my mum she would just say don't be silly.

You should speak to your GP, they won't think your silly .

im only twelve though

[Aursleep in reply to Nolongerinuse]

Im sure your mum will be more understanding than you think...do you have another relative or teacher you can speak to ? My son was 12 when he became ill which led him to having Tourette's .

i only have my sisters but they think im silly as well, and at school i have many teachers and very few that i trust

[Aursleep in reply to Nolongerinuse]

Have you managed to talk to someone yet ? I hope you have had some advice by now

please tell someone no matter how silly it seems! there's therapy/medication that can help with tics. I'm 16 and have had complex tics for about a year now. if you want any guidance or help please contact me

There must be one nice person in your life you like, that you can speak too.

Worry does also make ticks worse!

My Daughter has Tourettes and she was about 2 years when her first ticks started, she is 19 now, she takes medication as her ticks are exteremly servior.

She has physical and Vocal ticks, even with medication hers are evident when out in public.

I have the same problem, but my mum took me to a kinesiologist and she is helping me clear it up and she has seen loads of people with the same problem so it is not always tourretes,
