Im pretty much a normal 17 year old lad, im doing great in school and
have good prospects for the future.
Very socioable and literally un distinguisable in public from others, I
think i've dealt with my syndrome quite well. I literally continue life
like i dont have it at all, exactly like any normal human being. Apart
from one big secret, I have uncontrollable ticks, daily, for years.
since 1996, i remember vaugly remember how they started.
My parents would always question me why I did certain things like,
constant sniffing or outbursts of noise. It irritated them.
Ive been sent to doctors countless of times by my parents because they
want to know why i was doing these things and blamed it on bad diet. I
couldn't properly explain how i feel to my doctors and they regarded it
has bad habit of swallowing air. at that time i just had the urge to
make a nosie with my throat literally every second. if i didn't it
would feel unbearable, I would find it hard to breathe. As more people
ask me why I do this stuff, ,mainly family. i just feel uncomfortable
discussing it. The symptoms die down when i'm around friends and
unfamiliar surroundings. My ticks are only bad round peopel who's heard
it, my family.Ive only been recently educated on what exactly tourettes
is through a series of programs.
I've had countless kinds of ticks and uncontrolable muscle spasams in
which they will occur on daily basis non stop, simultaneously together.
If i didnt do it, i felt the urge to go crazy as the moment I dont do
them it feels unbearable, at times they became so bad I would rather
die.Honestly. Why has God punished me like this?i thought, Have I done
something wrong? desperatly seeking answers on my own.
Thing is no one has ever picked up on it, not even my family. somehow
my sister knows whats happening to me but simply would not say.
They complained of me making uncontrolable noises and weird constant
habits, but they obviously knew nothing about the condition.
Suprisingly no one has really picked up on it. and this blog is
possibly the first time i ever told someone or wrote somewhere that i
have it. I find it very... hard to talk about and therefore would keep
it to myself.
How people havnt notice?
a Cure? to ease it?
you could say that. but its nothing medical.
It caused me alot of stress doing the ticks and alot more not doing the
ticks. it seems to relieve the urge every second i do it, endlessly.
Recently my conditions have become very discreet and barely noticable
now. I'm not sure what is happening, but I just got to relax. think to
myself ' the world isnt goign to end if you dont do them ticks' this
calms me and stops me doing them for quite long periods. my ticks are
not so frequent anymore and hoping it will go in the future.
so is there a medical cure? what is the cause of tourettes?
from personal experience, its hard to describe. but i feel its somthing
personal, in the mind. phycological. maybe theraphy could solve it?
who knows. My symptoms used to be really bad, now it has eased off.
dreams of it dissapearing is an everyday thing and seems to becoming
reality. let jsut hope thers a cure to make this process faster.
I have great respect and sympathy for people who have it worse than
mine.
All I can say is, don't let you drag yourself down in life. what ever
you do, dont.
God hasnt punished you, God loves you. You are just a normal person
like everyone else.
Look at me

I was at a stage where i literally gave up with life.
Never give up, its not the end of the world

sorry if I written/edited this poorly.
I am kinda in a rush to finish my UCAS application for university

There is a future for everyone of us, If you know someone or you are a
parent of someone with tourettes. Love them, Love them as much as you
can, You dont realise how important that is (maybe you do, just a
figure of speech

) Never think, this is the end. Because it's not.
It's just the beginning. The cure? Belivine in yourself. ADios!
