Interesting article about the President of Lego Education who also has TS!
In a way I kind of relate to this guy. My condition has always propelled me forward to do better and to rise to the top. After many promotions and many years of meetings and high level functions I finally succombed (is that how you spell it), I was one promotion away from MD and doing well but for me stress was the major influence to my condition and I reasoned that I could not continue because the effort of being in a two hour meeting trying not to tic was just so incredibly difficult that I finally realised making a better life for myself was the answer, after all I had proved to myself that I could do it, but then thought, why does that mean I have to continue doing it. I retrained and now I have a trade, so I am happily working away on a building site for half the pay but I tell you I am so happy and honestly my tics have halved. I have to respect the Lego guy for keeping at it, it must be excrutiating.
Wow - what an inspiring story you have!
Living with stress is so unhealthy and to make a brave decision such as yours to move away from such a situation must have been difficult. But how fantastic to have your tics decreased so much.
Thank you so much for your comment on this - your views and comments are much appreciated
