I’m starting to get tics at 26y/o and it’s been concerning me …I think it has something to do with my ego maybe idk - just wanted to share

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

The tic can emerge at any age, but it most commonly appears between the ages of 6 and 18 years. During adolescence and early adulthood, the tics will normally become less severe, but In 10 to 15 percent of cases, Tourette's can become worse as the person moves into adulthood.👍

[@ash-ton5592]

i started ticing at around age 5/6. the doctors said it was just sensory because i experienced Premonitory urges which weren't as common. After the sudden passing of a close friend by anxiety went sky high and my adhd meds stopped supressing my tics. i now experience: Echolalia, Premonitory urges, Copropraxia, Coprolalia, Echopraxia, Echophenomenon, Palilalia, Palipraxia and Sensory phenomena. im only 16 and i've had a Tourette syndrome diagnosis for about 10 months, it gets worse daily and im now having to work out to strengthen my muscles to put up with my violent motor tics. i know a lot of neuro students watch these so if you want to ask someone with Tourette syndrome a question i'll happily answer when i can. if i cant answer ill ask any of my friends with tourettes to try and answer if needed Update: I'm now 18 and driving (yes I can drive safely) and I now experience non epileptic episodes with 4 variations. It's not easy to deal with but it's a byproduct of tourettes so not much I can do. I'm still perfectly fine answering comments as I know when I started ticing tourettes wasn't my first thought due to stigma as the obscene tics didn't start til about 7 months in by which I was already getting monitored ready for diagnosis so if I can help stop the stigma and get 1 more person to seek aid and advice early enough to avoid the level of uncertainty me and my family experienced then it will be worth it

[@theshermantanker7043]

An important distinction to make is that we don't know if it's fully involuntary or semi voluntary (Patient doesn't want to do it but the runaway urge to do so is too great, much like scratching an itch) yet

[@thatclassysheep1244]

Yes! I think when people hear involuntary they think of it as something solely related to the muscle but it’s a combination of the brain and the body, making the urge that is so strong you will feel physically and mentally exhausted after suppressing them. The urge is involuntary, the motion technically isn’t. Very glad to hear someone make the distinction

[@llyn5759]

It's not always preceded by an urge. A lot of tics just happen with no warning.

[@Anonymous-ng4wc]

Another symptom I think a lot of people with TS have is poor impulse control. Obviously this is displayed with the tics, but it happens with other things too. Eating, sexual desires, and intrusive thoughts (throwing something valuable, hurting yourself, etc.) There was an episode of The Good Doctor where a patient cheated on her husband and started having tics. It was later discovered that she had a brain tumor that made her unable to suppress her impulses (hence the cheating and tics). I think the same part of the brain that had the tumor is defective in people with TS. There was also a podcast - I believe it’s called This Past Weekend - where Marc Elliot was a guest and he shared his story with TS. He mentioned how he felt compelled to do these tics, and how he also indulged in every desire he had because his brain was not capable to suppressing them. The more I think about it, the more I believe that TS is actually a disorder of impulse.

[@TiaKatt]

It's on the Impulsive-Compulsive spectrum, along with its genetically related common comorbidities - ADHD, OCD, and Autism. Along with other conditions. I have TS and OCD and actually have good impulse control. I can't actually suppress the tics, though, any more than anyone can just will themselves not blink to for an hour. Attempts are...futile, exhausting, and painful from both the effort itself and the inevitable rebound effect. TS is made *worse* in the short term by attempts to suppress the tics. But the fact that a part of my brain doesn't seem to suppress errant *motor signals* doesn't mean that I'm going to go out and engage in risky *behaviors,* you know? There's an intentionality, a conscious decision to something like cheating on a partner or eating the last slice of cake that just simply isn't present with the tics. As for the intrusive thoughts of OCD, the fact that my brain wants to regale me with imagery of putting my hand on a hot burner while I cook doesn't mean I'm going to actually *do* that, distressing though the imagery may be. I don't even exhibit copralalia - as most with TS don't. It may be worth noting that Marc Elliot does. Frankly, the TS feels more *compulsive* than impulsive anyway. I'm not at all getting the thought "hey I kinda wanna flail my arm around that sounds like a lot of fun, damn the consequences" and then going "so I'll totally do that", as, in fact, I very much do *not* want to flail my arm around, on basically any level beyond the level on which you really need to blink after not doing so for a while. And I'm lucky if I manage to suppress it just long enough to get out of the way of furniture, doorways, or *people* before it happens. You know, if I even get the warning it's about to happen in the first place. I'm sorry that turned into a little bit of a rant, it's just that one of the frustrating things about the TS is that when first meeting me, a fair number of people first assume that I'm a drug user - as a distressing number of people have sheepishly told me after they've known me a while. I cannot express to you enough how stressful this fact is when you're doing something like trying to find work. I basically have no option of non-disclosure of my disability, because it's super visible and already has a lot of nasty stereotypes associated with it even with that disclosure. I really don't want people who are already somewhat familiar with TS getting the idea that I *lack impulse control* generally when, in fact, I very much do not. The media-driven assumption that we all exhibit coprolalia is bad enough. You're just being curious and inquisitive and trying to think deeper about it, though, and I get that. And there's a level on which I appreciate that, too. And given that it is, in fact, a disorder on the impulsivity-compulsivity spectrum, you were on the right track generally anyway. :) Oh, but you might actually be interested in this paper! Investigating Shared Genetic Basis Across Tourette Syndrome and Comorbid Neurodevelopmental Disorders Along the Impulsivity-Compulsivity Spectrum By Yang, et al.

My dad is over 90 years old and has a tendency to spit, which is more frequent when he is nervous and for which no one in the family knows the cause. We all thought he was doing it on purpose, but he wasn't. He never wanted to talk about it. A couple of years ago, I watched a UK documentary on TV and realized for the first time that my dad has Tourent's syndrome. Although there is no mention of drooling in the literature as Tourent's disorder, I am sure it is. Fortunately, dad had a good life and this syndrome did not limit him in any way.

Seriously, after all these years they still cant really tell why. If you're struggling with tourettes, I would look into finding a naturopath experienced with tics and diet, and striving to go toxic free (and i'm not just only talking about buying organic produce). Anyone with a neurological condition should not be aggravating their system with stuff like MSG, VOC's, lead, and glyphosate; nor should you be offending your system with a low level allergy. Took a kid who started ticcing at age 5 and was on the normal progression to peaking at 12, both vocal and motor tics up to (40/minute) and completely eliminated tics by finding out she was allergic to dairy and really sensitive to MSG. It is really sad to see doctors and neurologists make patients hopeless because they dont have any answers and their only tool is medication.

I was 12ish when I developed Tourette’s, I don’t know if it came sooner but I’ve been diagnosed with ocd sense I was 6 so I always thought that’s what it was. My school counselor saw me and how I was acting and called me to her office asking if I had Tourette’s, I told her I just had ocd. She told me her daughter has Tourette’s, and she thinks i had them. I ended up going to psychiatrist and neurologist and I was diagnosed with Tourette’s, I didn’t believe I had it because it was around when a lot of people were faking. I ended up being depressed and convincing myself it was fake, and i was faking it. I didn’t think I actually had it because it wasn’t to the extent I was seeing online. I’m 15 now and very much still have it, I’ve been diagnosed and medicated for this condition. It’s not like the ones on tiktok, my head jerks, I squeal, or grunt, blink, or shaking my hands. I’m made as a joke at my school, I scare people away. I wanted to be doctor but I doubt that’s something I’ll be able to do. It hurts my heart that people fake this and I question if I even have it. I don’t even know if this is common on my family because both my parents don’t know much about their parents. It’s hurts and I’m scared because I don’t know if I did this to myself or not.

[@NikiHerl]

> I wanted to be doctor but I doubt that’s something I’ll be able to do. Hey, don't let your Tourette's trample on your dreams - It's absolutely possible to become a doctor with Tourette's. Regarding "faking it": I know the whole thing can seem unreal, but from your descriptions it does sound a whole lot like Tourette's. And please don't blame yourself for your condition - you couldn't "give yourself Tourette's" even if you wanted to. Best, a fellow ticcing person.

[@Georgebushdidit]

Just to be clear, people are born with Tourette’s but can be Asymptomatic up until a certain age in which they develop tics but not the actual illness itself, correct?

[@NikiHerl]

Conventional "wisdom" says you're born with it, and at some point it breaks out. But I've also heard it said (speculated) that physical trauma, as well as drug use can trigger the outbreak of tics. There may still "need to be" a predisposition for tics in those cases, as obviously not every trauma, or anytime some uses drugs, Tourette's develops. I myself developed tics only at the age of 20, and I read about cases on /r/Tourettes where it developed even later.

[@civilengineer2024]

Based on my experience, there is definitely a link between tic severity and immune response, including allergies. Reduce immune response should be one avenue to explore

Hello guys! I started having Tourette’s at the age 15 and now am 27. It hasn’t gone away one bit. I’ve been to a chiropractor and had said to take a lot of fish oil.

In the early 80’s I believe it was mostly neurologists that were familiar with Tourette’s. Now, in the US at least patients typically see a psychiatrist. There are several medications that can help reduce the severity. There is an association called the Tourette syndrome association where you can get more info and advice.

I've developed tics and PNES as a 21yo.. I'm now going on 25 and only 4 or 5 people know about it because i refuse to tell a lot of people because of the "tiktokification" of the disorder.

[@Larryjustwantstocomment]

There is a book called nix ur tics its very helpful. I would reccomend.

[@okannie-ym6yx]

I probably have the most severe case of it over recorded on human History.

Has anyone ever said just say Today and while you are saying it, say it with real intentions of starting your day off. Just a simple start to something that could help you in the long run.

[@herbules4602]

wow, thank you for such an educational video. Me and my kids now have a better understanding on why Tourette's occurs penis

that got me hahahaha

[@YOULOOTWESHOOT101]

At what early age can we detect Tourette disorder?

[@azusa6486]

I can say personally having Tourette’s is “I’m tired boss”

[@mohammadanaskhan_]

I think I was suffering from this in teenage it stopped after 7 8 years

[@chipie_guy]

I was suspicious about a kid twitching in Instagram so i decided to investigate 😂

Wonderful Thanks

Coprolalia is not yelling out obscene words. They can be any words. Some but few end up just dropping f bombs and such. I do not use swear words in my vocabulary so my coprolalia is not comprised of naughty and embarrassing words. I am glad I am not one of us with Tourette's who has that and I know it gets tiring and troublesome for some afflicted with it.

When I was little like 8 years old I was diagnoses with epilepsy and have to take pills for treatment and stuff then past forward a few years when I was 12 the doctor said I no longer have to take the pills for Epilepsy since the seizures stopped and he said that I outgrown my Epilepsy but then a few months later I did get another seizure, this lead to my arm not working for a while. We went to the doctor again and he said it was just a one time thing and will not happen again but after the seizure my arm started to twich like a lot, sometime it happens ever so often like in a month I have like 4 to 5 of those episode and as I grew older the episode appear like 2 to 3 times a year so does that means I have Tourette? Or is it something else?? P.S: Sorry if you don't understand much of the comment English is not my first language so sorry if there's any grammatical errors.

I’m 99% sure my friend is faking Tourette’s, but I’m just here to do my research before false accusations emerge. Thank you so much sir

[@creativecloudaddict]

I have tourettes. I'm quite lucky though as my tics are very mild. The behavioral symptoms are what's worse for me. This disorder is complex!

[@duck9890]

Mine started when u was 9 or 8 and i still have it today aswell my brother Got it when he was 3 and now hes 12 and he still has it.

[@21MC1]

There’s a dear friend who has mild TS. Mild but bad enough that she would get severe headaches. From what I understand, WHAT WORKS: Enough sleep. Humming or singing songs. Playing any musical instruments like flute etc that controls your air flow. Breathing exercise/yoga, meditation etc WHAT WORSENS TS or T; Never try to suppress it. Stress. Bright screen. ONLINE SITES OR APPS THAT REQUIRE SCROLLING. Online shopping can worsen it.

I live opposite the entrance to a park / dog walking field, the entrance is visible from my sitting room. I’ve noticed over the last few months even more so what seems to concur with the lockdown of 2020 and now 2021 (I’ve lived in the house for years). a lot more people are cussing to or about themselves and those where the mumbling used to be under their breath is now not so quiet anymore, quite a few more people and at all times of the day. I’m nit in the knowledge or understanding to say it’s neurological but it’s interesting watching people as they’ve changed through the 2020 lockdown, some have barely noticed there’s been a lockdown and go about a day in a normalise way accepting a different way to do things but others are struggling. Probably 150 to 160 people use the park daily and on a busy day it can be I’d say easily 200 to even 300

Is it possible this is spiritual?

No it’s not, and it’s not some demon or possession type crap either. It’s a physical problem with a physical brain in a physical body
