| Questions about T.S | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What is it.....tourette syndrome is a nueroligcal disease, it cause people who have it to "tic", not like the bug you get from the woods..... they are uncontrollable movements, like twitching, blinking, skipping, or vocal tics are grunting, clearing throat, barking, ect. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How do you get it.......You can get it from hereditary backgrounds, or from a simple strep throat that cuase a chemical imbalance. It is not contaguoius, but however if you have it, the chances of passing it down to your future children are high. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is there anything you can do about it......There are many medicines out there that can surrpress the "tics" but nothing has been discovered to cure it completely. Most people get it when they are younger, and grow out of it but there mid 20's. Others it can get worse, stay the same, or lessen. Many T.Sers ( as most of us that have it call ourselves) learn throughout the years how to cover up the tics, but some cannot becuase it physically tires them out. Also there is nothing you can do to prevent it | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How does it effect you.....I can not speak for anyone else except myself, i know it effects me on a day today basis! It causes me to be more aware of where i go and how i present myself. I have tried to hide the tics but they seem to get worse for me. Cases are different all over the world. I have been diagnosed with this for 4 years now. My worst time with it is when i try to go to sleep and my tics worsen and i try to fall asleep but cant keep my thoughts in a straight pattern, also i have had alot of depression problems that have included this, becuase who likes to be different. I am walkign with the lord and belive i can use this to my advantage, i accept people that are a little different quit easily! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What are symptoms of T.S.....symptoms of tourette syndrome are varied with every child. A list of symptoms are : Twiching of any body part, touching hot things, groweling, barking, blinking, slapping, MANY MANY MANY more are considered symptoms, i could go on forever and list the symptoms.
