i randomly shake my body. like shiver. i’m not cold i just do it. edit: i just started doing this thing where i jerk my neck to the left near my shoulder. it’s random like the shiver thing
Grace Dell me to, I just get it and can’t to anything to not do it and It’s weird. But I actually think I have have touretts because i do some weird things with my nose, i can sometimes shake my nose, and I sometimes have s vocal tics
Is that a tic? I have the same thing and haven’t found anything online. It’s been happening since I was a kid. My friends noticed it when I was driving and god damn they looked at me as if I was weird.
You just shiver probably. It happens to everyone I know! I get those at least 3 times a week
Evelina Gleisner that’s not tics. I have tics and Chorea and I have a lots of noise coming out of my mouth and random movement in my body. I gad surgery 3 times to. Lots of the comments isn’t anywhere close to tics
Do tell me .... i also have these things they used to be frequent but have died down during the years and it feels as if someone always has their eyes on me .... it runs a shiver down my spine
I'm 21 and I know I definitely have tourettes. I have a lot of tics but everytime I try to tell someone I have it they tell me I'm crazy and I'm imagining things when I know for a fact that I possess all of the symptoms
madsainash, I'm 13 with Tourette's and people tell me the same thing, it's kind of painful to hear
You can be diagnosed with Tourette's by a neurologist. My son was 5 when we finally insisted that he see a neurologist. I had read an article in the newspaper that described my son exactly. After that diagnosis, we got a second opinion from a pediatric neurologist, who not only diagnosed my son, he noted that my husband was having tics, shoulder shrugging. He had always done that ever since I can recall.
Because our son's first tics were vocal, ( constant throat clearing ) we took him to a pediatric allergist, thinking he may have allergies. That doctor told us he just needed more attention. We has already brought one of our older boys to the same Doctor when he was about 12, for constant throat clearing. And he told us that our older son wasn't getting enough attention. The reason for both of these diagnoses was because they slept at night with no problem. He forgot that Tourette's Syndrome was another reason.
Our younger son was almost classic Tourette's- throat clearing started at an early age, tics started in Grade one. We could almost predict what type of tic he would have next. With him, when the pediatric allergist told us he wasn't getting enough attention, we knew he was being misdiagnosed. He was the youngest child on whom we all doted, whose brothers and sister loved him dearly and would play games with him. So we just left it until I read the article about Tourette's Syndrome in the newspaper.
Did having a diagnosis really help him? Well, it was a relief to find out what was wrong with him. He also has ADD ( 70% of Tourette's sufferers have ADD or ADHD ).
Unfortunately, having this diagnosis did not help him with school. We had nothing but trouble with teachers, and he begged to be home schooled. However, the psychiatrist he was seeing ( for ADD, OCD and depression ) discouraged home schooling because he felt our son needed to socialize. Was he right? We will never know. He hated school, and remembers the misery he suffered from teachers who should have known better.
So do you want a diagnosis? Just get in to see a neurologist. There are a few problems with having a diagnosis of Tourette's syndrome regarding employment ie. cannot join a police force, and a few others. So think about that before you go for a diagnosis. From your symptoms, I would say you have Tourette's and it is real, has been around for centuries, is not your fault, has no real cure but some meds that can help in quality of life.
Nobody has any right to tell you what you have or do not have. It is not in your head - it is usually genetic or familial and is a real disorder.
If you have lived your whole life without people around you noticing/knowing you have a disorder, I would say keep it that way is better especially if you can.
Being treated differently by people you know for a small case of tourette will not be pleasant for you.
When I was 11 I had a severe but temporary case of tourettes. I poked my throat, figeted around, and watched kids tv shows and films.
I’m 11 with Tourette’s 😞
i feel sorry for everyone who have tics :
I used to complain about it and wish it upon others just to get rid of them but I've gotten used to them, you don't need to feel sorry about it.
after all it's not yours or anyone else's fault :)
I dont have tourettes or nothing but I've had like some tics and I've had them for years now but I learned to deal with it and I dont really notice them tbh😊
Na just cuz u dont have any bad diseases or an extremely bad situation doesnt meen that you should just pretend like everythings ok yea u can be grateful but
@@ramazancdre8303 as someone who has tics and studies them i can tell you that our brains are wired this way and in no way do it for attention, me along with other people people suffer from it please dont be ignorant, thanks.
RamazanCDRE Excuse me I was diagnosed with tourettes when I was 3 and your saying that people are faking it they might have tourettes not faking it my mum brought me to the doctors and I got diagnosed with it
Me: *twitching my neck and making weird faces*
Mom: Stop faking for attention. If you keep joking like that you could seriously get hurt
BRUSHKASHWKANSH
You should tell your mom you have a disorder.
Nasteha Musa this is what’s happening to me
Mom, do me a favor, get stuffed.
Same bro
I have too many tics😂 but my bad tells me i want attention
I swear,
I have been diagnosed with a dozen other conditions & this is the one my family doesn't believe. Jeez..
I suggest that if they don't believe you because they think its rare, tell them its more popular that ADHD (because it is)
i f e l t t h i s
I really understand this on a crying level
@@Jailson_rah MY family understands but..I have one grandma which is still like that thinking I'm acting.
ooooof
These days I described the feel/urge before a tic like a capacitor. As long as the capacitor isn’t full I can suppress the tic, but if it is I have to dissipated the charge and it end up being a very violent tic. I really like the capacitor analogy, it’s been the easiest way to explain it.
That’s an interesting analogy! I’ve always compared it to an itch. It’s not the same feeling, but it’s like, the more I actively think about it and try to ignore it, the worse it gets, and the harder it is not to do it. But if I’m not thinking about it and just going about my day, I’ll just have a tiny little tic that’s barely noticeable (for context, I only have one visible tic, and not Tourette’s).
What you’re referring to is a promontory urge 😊
awesome to hear you found an analogy to explain your feels
It’s really odd, but I only ever have a really compelling feeling to copy a tic when I see someone else do it...I can’t control it but I feel like it’s fake (Echopraxia)
Fluky426 • 44 years ago • edited ME TOO AHHH. And it's like now that I know what Tourette's is (I just really dug into it today bc it felt like I could possibly have it??) I'm noticing my tics more and more that I thought were just "bad habits"
Yeah same
same I get a lot of motor tics and I cant tell if I'm faking it because sometimes I wont have them at all and then in a couple of days I have them really bad and now I'm starting to get vocal tics and I cant control them but its like I'm telling myself that they're fake.
Spacebar OwO yeah I feel that it's just like I keep telling myself it's fake but I can't control it and vocal tics make me think it's even more fake because I'm like saying it but I don't want too I have no idea if I am faking it I would ask my mom if I could get tested or something but she'd probably say im faking it :/ I don't want to fake tics ever but it's just that feeling that I'm doing it for attention even though I'd never fake this.
@@ramuneingproductions the same is happening to me and I’m just wondering what if I’m doing it on purpose what if I’m faking it but then again for what? I’m so confused, In public where there’s people I force myself to calm it down but when I get home they’re way worse than they would be
I've had tourettes syndrome since I was 5 and its severe. I like to watch these videos and see that I'm thankful people don't have it that bad with tics. My tics are rare..they include..biting myself, hitting myself repeatedly, and clawing into my skin..my other tics are just head jerking, eye blinking, repeating other people's words or sentences, mouth moving, ticking sounds with my mouth, body twisting, and alot more. Even though it's hard to control it..I don't care what people think about it being weird or me being a freak..i can't control it..so i just go with it 😊
Stay strong. It might get easier to deal with the older you get. That's what i discovered.
Pray to God in the name of Jesus. He will heal you instantly...
I have alot of severe physical ones too, Im glad I lack most vocal speech ones such as cursing or speaking/sounds.
I do have a habit of copying what people say and responding back to whistling with more whistling.
@@chelee9261 I don't think that's how it works lol
You seem like such a wholesome person
Have you tried Weedborn CBD yet?
is there non weedborn cbd or weedborn noncbd?
Im scared I don’t know if I have Tourette Syndrome, as I might have tics, I blink rapidly at time, make a loud squealing noise, I also move my head weirdly backwards.
Ooooo i do a squealing thing too! It sounds like Chyoo! But really high pitched
Same but mine is just head jerking and sometimes when i continuously do it and my hand goes up like if im going to hit something
Same but i mostly just jerk my head a little and i mainly just hit my leg repeatedly
I do weird noises that sounds a bit like humming but it’s not
I relate because sometimes I make weird faces and my arms will clench and move and my head will jerk but I don't know if it's tics someone help
Whenever I had serous tics my parents always used to get mad at me even tho I told them I can't control it
They'd still yell and that made me have more tics cause of stress

I think I may have a tic disorder. My tics are simple (eye blinking/winking, head shakes, facial grimaces, and saying hey) people can barely notice them. I'm 14 and they started a few months ago. I have anxiety and depression too. I have about 180 (more or less) tics a day. I'm just not sure what's causing it or how to talk about it but it's scaring me, if anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it.
Carmen Diaz I have had tics for a long time, I don't count em. The more you think about them the more they happen. When I joined the swim team I noticed they have improved. But when I'm on break they get worse again. The best thing to do it not worry about it. Sometimes you won't even notice them happening, and you forget. Atleast I do with mine, my friend noticed one I didn't notice. The more you exercise the better it gets it seems. This is speaking just from personal experience. Yours seem more severe than mine. I've always just had motor no vocal.
Carmen Diaz ps mine get worse when I'm really stressed and or really excited or I have this shoulder shrug one I think it's a tic because it's happened for years I will get cold all of the sudden and then I shrug. I don't mind tho it's not bad enough to get in the way of stuff. Watching videos about tics makes them SO much worse in that moment .
Same
i’m 14 too and i started getting tics a few days ago, when they first started i told my dad and he ignored me.. if they continue on for another week or so i’m gonna tell my dad again
When come try to control it and not do it. Remember if u don't tic u not gonna die or something gonna happen 2 u. This how i control my tic its hard but it works and get better. If u let ur self with no fight it will get worse
I just met a girl who has a tic disorder so i'm trying to learn more about it to understand her better :)
That's sweet of you:)
so cute uWu
when i was little i used to have head shakes, throat clearing, stomache pressing, sniffing with my nose, and a lot more. all this in my worst period of stress and anxity. all this have calmed down and i only have small tics now as such jaw adjustment. sorry for bad english, i am from Norway:)
How did you help it get better?☺️
God bless you ❤🙏
As someone with tics it’s really hard to do everyday things like eating, staying still and focusing. So just be lucky you don’t have it, it’s physically and mentally exhausting
I'm happy that my son tics is gone for good with the product I got from # DrChala here on UA-cam
when I was 12 I started doing a weird hard blink and clearing my throat and then that went away around 14 and I started having my arm twitch, idk it's hard to explain but it gets worse and jumps when I think about it. I'm 17 and still have that, it doesn't happen everyday..maybe a few times a week but idk it gets weird
I keep hard blinking and sniffing
Big Tiddy Goth Gf. Hard blinking and nose twitches are very common. I don’t have Tourettes but I have a shit load of ticks for no reason. And my old ticks would hurt, one of them being holding my breath.
That's the same way mine started around 12 years old. They kind of morphed into different things over the years and I've picked up things from other people but I still have the throat clearing which is exasperated by allergies and a slight head twitch and neck muscle twitches. I hate them. I hate to see them in any video of myself. Sorry to say, but I'm almost 44 yrs old now and they haven't gone away although I've learned to control them better over the years. They seem to be worse when I'm anxious or when I'm not consciously trying to control them. Like when I'm watching TV.
Im going into middle school im scared and I have tics
I'm 15, and I don't know if I have tics but sometimes I kept shrugging with head jerks. It happens only a few times a week especially when I'm uncomfortable or frustrated. I used to snap my fingers (but I do not do it anymore. I say "Hai!" or "Cough" but sometimes I might say the words that I am thinking unintentionally. And when I think about the involuntary movements, I start doing those stuffs and I make growling sounds.
I’ve had different tics since I was about 12 and I’m now 18 and finally going to hopefully find some form of treatment. It started with tics, such as yawning constantly even when I was not tired, blinking rapidly, raising my eyebrows and shrugging my shoulders. Thought the years I’ve gotten worse to the point where I’m ticking almost every 10-15 seconds and sometimes for 10 seconds straight. Not only is it constant it also has caused me pain in my body wear I have pulled joints in my back and dislocated my shoulder from having a violent tic in my neck while holding a heavy bag. Hopefully they doctors will have a solution because anyone that knows how frustrating it is understands that any sort of easing of the tics would seem to be a miracle.

I think I might have tics. I used to just twitch my arms and legs slightly when I was younger. Now they have evolved in the last few months to a head jerk and now I shake my head as well. I’ve been very stressed today especially and I had to leave English and sit in the councillor’s office for the whole class because I wouldn’t stop shaking, hyperventilating and shaking my head.

Uhmm I click my tounge hella loud, say inappropriate things, shout "Woooo", jerk my head left, have weird hand movements like clapping, shaking, hitting things, and insult others.
Also when I'm talking to my friend who has similar ticks, I argue with him and get stuck in loops.
Am I just crazy or do I have something wrong with me? 😂😂
Lol you have tourettes nothing Crazy about you
You probably have Tourette’s and most likely have coprolalia and echolalia which can cause the back and forth. I definitely recommend getting it checked out tho
WHOA! I came here to learn about Tourette’s, and just found out I had Palilalia as a kid! There was a two year phase where I felt the need to repeat the last word I said under my breath! I didn’t know I had a disorder
Video: puberty before 10-12
My body- no started puberty at 6 and finished at 10.
Me: great.
wOt
Is your body ok?
are you like gonna get at old age at 50?
same
I wonder if this is what i have or if its jist my anxiety or being with ppl im uncomfortable around
Idk but its friking embarrassing
anxiety tics are very common, consult your doctor if you get multiple or they get worse xxx
Ant Ant Ant same my social awkwardness is so fucking bad I hate it!!!!!!!
Ant Ant Ant same here..my social awkwardness are getting really bad..now I'm only comfortable with my twin..even with my best friends I really don't feel comfortable..
Do you still have it?
I have tic disorder since i was 12, i'm 28 now. My mum has it and so does my only sibling. I remember my mum telling me to stop doing those tics so that people won't think i'm crazy/ weird. Till this day, i don't think my mum or sibling realize that they have a disorder, but i find that knowledge is important, it helps me accept certain conditions i have and make peace with them, instead of thinking i'm losing it.
I’ve had several tics come and go throughout my life but my current ones are full head twitches in any direction, blowing out of my nose frequently, constant throat clearing, random finger movement after being still for several seconds, and a randomly occurring stutter. I used to squeak loudly when I was 7 but that went away. When I was 10-13 I would roll my bottom lip over itself and also roll my eyes back quickly. I have yet to discuss any of my thoughts on this with my family but I know they are aware of the tics.

u help alot for medical pg
My type of tic is that I may have similar issues, but I can control them. For example, I start doing a thing like closing my eyes often, but when I try to avoid it, I feel something like mental pressure, so I can't always get over those "things"/habits. I get over some things but new ones appear. So I understand what it's like, I hope all the people who have it get over it eventually ❤️
I'm happy that my son tics is gone for good with the product I got from # DrChala here on UA-cam
My dear if you have this problem of Tics do your research yourself about that man Dr Chala he is from west Africa and the good news is that he have the cure also have UA-cam channel here

I started having tics when I was 7 or 8. Over the years it just grew worse and worse and now I'm 15 and I have over 15 tics. It's really annoying but I now have a girlfriends that always tries to calm me down while I'm having tic attacks. She's being so supportive and I'm honestly so happy. I think I have Tourette because it's been about 8 years now. If you're reading this and you're in my same situation I just want you to know that you'll find someone supportive who will help you going though this,, you're not alone
Hi, I think you should include anxiolytics to the treatment.
Like others here, I was diagnosed at 5 (21 now) with ts
The best way I can describe my premonitory urges is a tingling in my spine
And sometimes a tic will get "stuck" and I'm left with an uncomfortable sensation in my back until the tic can come out
I also experience both ocd-related tics (compulsive/partially involuntary) and completely involuntary tics
The compulsive tics are those that happen when something doesn't feel "right" and you repeat a tic until it does (like waving across your peripheral vision or flexing your throat over and over). I call these partially involuntary bc there is a little control in stopping these, but it's very uncomfortable to do so
The completely involuntary tics are those which are sudden and usually occur in single tics (unexpected leg jerk or sudden muscle contraction)
I'm not sure if there's official terms for these, but this is what I've come to call them from my own experiences
please reply to this and tell me if i might have it or not.
when i was 7 i used to do something weird with my hand because i liked doing it because it was satisfying so my dad became so mad and told me to stop so i tried my best not to do it and then it went away and i think it was just a habit, 4 years later i had this thing i would do is like shaking my head it makes me relieved but then it went away in less then a month, 3 years later now am 14 and i have this thing where i would blink my eyes several times at an object and move my shoulder backwards, it has been going for a long time but unlike other people such as the ones with Tourettes i can control them for as long as i dont forget and it isnt that hard so i think they might just be habits and urges that i like to do but when they go away after sometime they get replaced with other bad habits (idk if their habits) so please tell me if i have it or not, thanks!
@@BehnamAshur Whatever you do, don’t diagnose yourself. It doesn’t sound like you are, but still :’)
Talk to a doctor about it. Random internet strangers aren’t the best at diagnosing :))

yeah, i have tic disorder myself actually...
also, I was diagnosed with it when I was 7
Xtreme Gamer so do i ,i was diagnosed when i was 12
i think i have been diagnosed before even reaching 6, just like my ADHD
im not because my mum thinks im joking
OK boomers
I am happy that this was made because I need to know about this to explain to my classmates that used to find me annoying for a tic and it is a loud "mmmm" and the teachers try to help to take my mind of it and it's a big help for people that have tics explain it to a teacher or loved one about it
Glad top help! 🙏🏼
I’ve always had tics. It started with some blink tic that I had very often, and then a while later I started making different tic movements. I also sometimes have vocalised tics

Who’s here from the new sidemen video
omg me
naw
I squint / smile randomly, to the point of people noticing. And I didn’t start noting myself doing this till I was 18+ (mid to late 18 early 19 years old )
I randomly shiver, even when its not cold,
saying random words & hitting myself,
there's more but idk how to describe them
This video helped me with my research on Tourettes. Thank you!
I feel like one of the worst parts of having tics is the fact that many people think your doing it on purpose and can stop anytime. I haven’t been properly diagnosed yet but I have had tics before I even knew what they were called since middle school (I’m in college now and just starting to find out more). Every couple of months it would resurface and my family wouldn’t understand and even get angry. Agressive blinking, shoulder shrugs, clearing my throat were manageable and I didn’t care much for it. However I’ve been getting headshakes recently that have made me quite nauseous and dizzy, so much so it’s hard to focus which is why I’m planning to get this checked up. Granted I didn’t even know what it was but it doesn’t make it any better when your parents don’t even want to think that this is a problem

As a 13 year old with persitent tics such as me rolling my eyes and blinking, life has been tough because of everybody pointing them out. I just can't bring myself to tell anyone that I have this type of disorder.
This video really helped a lot.
Take Any medications???
I'm a 15 year old girl from pH. Because of What'sup Tony page in FB I discovered just few days ago what's wrong with me. I started when saying repeated words. Blinking. Breathing. And now I'm in patting my hands in a wall, repeatedly. I hate it. But it's hard to cope... Thank u for the info. I trust the almighty, I know he will help me.
I am starting to enjoy your channel :) I came across it accidentally while I was looking for further and simpler explanations of some processes and disorders as textbooks and lectures at times may not do this! You did really gave me just that :) Today I came here to find the neurological basis for Tourette disorder but it seems that like ADHD it is hard to pinpoint certain brain areas although basal ganglia are implicated in Tourette disorder due to their role in the control of body movement.
There's also some theories of there being a genetic link to tourettes (or at least to some cases)
I think you would find that interesting to research too!
I have tics like grunting, breathing out heavily, tensing up areas of my body, and other stuff and it's been like this for years
I used to have more intense tics (shaking around my arms or rolling my head around a lot) but now it's less bad
Idk if I have tourettes or what I might have but I feel like I might
i have tourette’s and it depends on the frequency, how complex your tics are, and when it began. it’s only diagnosed when you tic mulitple times a day and raises in severity as you get older (teens). the other tic disorders usually fade away while tourette’s is a bit more persistent and severe.

I don’t think I have Tourettes but I used to open my mouth super wide for no reason and then I started doing it again. I also scream into my hand when I want to scream and after watching this video I’m scared that I have Tourettes. I have only done the screaming one for a month or 2. I also will move my top jaw back and forth. I do also have adhd and ocd which makes me even more worried that I have Tourettes but I doubt I do have Tourettes
would be interesting to hear more about some of the neuromodulatory approahes to manage tic disorders
For the past two years i have been experiencing persistent tiks without knowing what was wrong with me I forced my mom to book a doctor appointment after watching this and I kid you not I started crying while watching this.
I have a simple tic
I'm 15 and my tics are getting worse :/
OrangeToonist most ticks usually resolve when u turn around 20 or so. Do u have anxiety? Its most commonly associated with anxiety, also family history helps. I'm a med student
Balaram chowdary I have anxiety and ADD and OCD.
Well, my brother has it too. He's 19 and mine is worse than his. I know my cousin also has autism.
OrangeToonist Same my coprolalia and tics and social awkwardness is at an all time low!!!!!!!!
This is relatable, though im currently fourteen and this started when i was about twelve. It's got a lot worse, like VERY bad at times. It runs in the family though on my dads side, he has it pretty bad, i have it and his mother had it.
@@uijnghhj402 even if the tics fully go away you still have the syndrome. I think of it like there's a switch in your head that says "tics" and for some people it just gets flipped off. But it's still there. I'm almost 19 and I still have bad tics
I got diagnosed with tics today (20y/o) so technically not Tourettes cuz I didnt have it as a teenager (only for a shirt while when I was 6) but I relate to this so much and I finally feel validated :') a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulder and the shame and guilt are getting washed away with it.
We're glad that this video helped 🙏🏼
I’m really confused- cause I do this thing where I move my head to the side or look down and make a little noise- :,>
you see I have been professionally diagnosed with Tourette’s and I agree with this video. I curse, flinch randomly, yell, say animal noises, and much more. Shoulder movements and head rolls/eye rolls depend on how long and how bad they are. If you’ve had these head shoulder and eye rolls for about a year then u probably got a severe tic or slight Tourette’s. I prefer you get checked by a doctor before “self” diagnosing.
Edit: fixing anger tics(smashing keyboard and making random words lol)
Emonator Earth i agree
I think i have turetts but it isn’t making life Harder for me so i just say i have tics
And btw hope you’re turetts is much better now
I have head jerks I've had it for a while and it's getting worse what should I do?
BTS_Trash Girl Consult a doctor, preferably a Neurologist, asap.
When it comes try to control it and not to do it . Remember if u don't tic u not gonna die or something gonna happen 2 u. This how i control my tic its hard but it works and gets better. If u let ur self with no fight it will get worse.

My second noticeable tic was a head jerk. It lasted for years. I don’t deal w that particular tic but along w other tics when I think of them, I start doing it. Like reading threw all these comments and reading head jerk, I’m literally fighting the urge bc once I do it once, it’s going to persist for months 😅
@@petewtheheat6731 literally reading that you set me off😂😂 I know how you feel,you're not alone! Xx
The writing in this video is so satisfying
I love this video! Ive been waiting for one of your videos on this topic. I was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome when i was little. I currently take Risperdone. Thank you for your video!
Ava_Sory risperdone is a hell of a med. i was on it and got bad side affects
Careful on the meds. Doctors will prescribe you anything to make a buck or two.
I have all of those. It's hard, I got diagnosed with tourette's when I was 5. I'm 11 now, they got worse. People ask me what's wrong and it annoys me, I told my best friend and he told people I act stupid cuz of my tics. My symptoms are jerking my head, humming, squealing in my mouth, making sounds while inhaling, click my tongue, flick my fingers and toes, blinking, blinking hard, making fart sounds, eye rolling that cause headaches, eye rolling my eyes to the bottom corners and bottom of my eyes while jerking my head up, whistle, reverse whistling, whistling through my teeth, saying random things, and beatboxing.

My son’s Tourette’s started around 4 years old. His tics increased from then and were sometimes exhausting, but never as severe as yours. But we had nightmare problems with teachers - they made his life misery.
Apparently, tics can get worse or can start to disappear in the teenage years. You are still young, so maybe yours will decrease. I have seen many videos on UA-cam of teenage girls with similar tics to yours. They explain how they cope. Very good senses of humour.
My son was fortunate that his tics mostly disappeared in his teens.
Almost all tics disappear at 20 or around then. It is rare for people to continue to have tics as adults.
I know this is cold comfort at the moment, but thank goodness for a good friend.
Maybe print up some pamphlets to hand out when people ask you what is wrong. Then you don’t have to explain - very annoying, I know - and they will learn something.
Shea Meyer-Hanson I hope they aren’t too severe so as to impact your daily life. Wishing you the best.

I’m 13, and I’ve had a sensory-phenomena type disorder since I was around 6-7. (If you’re not sure what it is please search it up, there’s actually a pretty good video on UA-cam about it, literally one of the only videos that are called “Sensory Phenomena”) I get random urges that can happen anywhere on my body, like I get an intense urge to move my toe(s) towards the ground and tense up. I also have one vocal tic where I just make a weird sound, sometimes if it gets severe I move my head back intensely while doing it. Also, if I get excited about some things I get a very intense burst of euphoria and excitement, and sometimes shiver with it for some reason.
Any help?
Or can anyone help on what I may have?
love your guys' videos
I’ve had motor tics as early as 6-7yo I think, and have spent my life dealing with them. They used to be severe (I would turn and look behind me constantly when watching TV, for example); these days, in my 40s, they are mild but still, annoying. When I was a teen, my mother would reprimand me, try to get me to control myself. One time, during a high school dance performance, I ticced out so hard on stage, it basically turned into a comedy show, the audience was laughing so hard. I’ve had friends giggle in my face; I get it, eye-roll tics can be unnerving and hilarious. Shoulder and neck shakes are just as bizarre to the average person. I’ve kinda trained myself to let my tics out when no one is looking, so that I don’t cause weirdness or make people laugh. I guess you could call them stealth tics. Not that I can fully control them, but I can kinda suppress them a bit, like holding off on a really bad itch and then scratching hard when no one is watching! Still, they are noticeable sometimes. My family doesn’t say anything anymore, they just accept it. I try not to talk about it as it’s incredibly uncomfortable and, of course, it means admitting there’s something wrong with you. In fact, this comment is the first time I’ve written about my tics, and it feels good to be able to share this. I wouldn’t wish tics on anybody. But for those of us who have tics, ah well. We’re the movers and shakers of the world, just not quite in the way most people understand :)
Thanks it really help I start blinking randomly but it is not normal blinking I basically close my eyes very hard and I do that a lot and I also randomly nod or do random “no” signs
When I’m in an uncomfortable situation where I’m anxious or feel pressured I twitch my arms and sometimes say random things I also wack my leg and I was wondering if this could possibly be Tourettes?
This is a very helpful video. I had convinced myself I didn't have Tourettes cause when I researched previously the symptoms shown as examples were extremely severe compared to my own.
I have this shiver that constantly appears when I feel an itch deep within the muscles of my upper arms. It usually happens right after I see rapid movement, hear a loud/sudden/highpitched/unpleasant sound (which isn't good when you play in an orquestra like I do), whenever I touch something unpleasant and even when I think about any of those things or even think about the shiver itself. It has been happening ever since I was 15 (maybe even before), but they showed at such little frequency I simply thought I was cold. However, at 17 they became so frequent even my mom noticed, and she thought it might be a side effect of a medication I was taking (it was prescribed to me for a side effect it had, but it was an antipsychotic and I don't have psychosis. I do have other mental issues, I just am trying to not overshare. Also, my mom is a doctor, just not the mental health type, but she has slight work experience on the matter). But even when I stopped taking it the symptoms percisted, and I currently am not going to therapy anymore since my mom doesn't trust the therapist, with these involuntary movements going on "because of her". So even if it is Tourettes I can't get diagnosed. (There's also the other Tic disorders mentioned in this video, but the main website I used to do a lighter search of this topic didn't specify their names, so I couldn't search more of that matter.)
The reason I thought it wasn't Tourettes was cause I thought I didn't have any vocal tics, but now I realize that I also tend to gasp loudly sometimes when I shiver, loud enough to scare my mom. I just never counted those as vocal tics cause it happened at the same time as the shivers, making me think they were connected and just one tic. And to add more, I'm also on the Autism spectrum, and some of the vocal tics (repeating words you hear or your own words) are symptoms of autism which I have, which I associated with autism so much I didn't they could be also associated with Tourettes.
Regardless, I'll probably won't get diagnosed so soon, since I'm a coward who doesn't share worries and thoughts with my mom. However, I've become used to my involuntary movements, and everyone around me knows I have them (and if they don't I just say they're movements I can't control), so I'm not too worried about it. This video only answered a question I had about myself, and even if for now the only benefit it gives me is relief, then so be it.

I have lots of motor tics and two vocal tics, I'm trying to convince my family to let me get tested, let's hope showing them this video will get them to let me go to the doctor. 🤞
Sometimes I feel chills like I’m cold , but the thing is I’m not cold. My shoulders twitch and my arms tense and shake. I want to believe my mind is making me do this . But at this point I don’t know what to believe ... if I tell my mom I feel like she’ll think I want attention . WHICH I DONT . This is all really embarrassing
I hate it when my friend says that I don't have tics/tourettes, because I do. But I appreciate that no one at my school tells me to 'quit it' or 'stop moving' or anything. I am so greatful for the life I get to live and for the God that created me. Have a nice day, know that you are loved ❤😘🐸
I’m 12 soon 13 I’ve been doing som things compared to tic (hitting making a face or doing the 🤙🏻 sinde ) and idk if I have have it bc it only Begins when I think about it
I don’t have Tourette’s but I get anxiety tics when I’m stressed. I usually do like a head movement
It started in the beginning of 7th class when I was 12 with hitting. I developed snapping, shacking my head, screaming quiet, hitting myself and growling. Now I'm 14 and it is still present.

I've recently started to tense up the left side of my face. I've talked to my mom about it, and we both agreed it's probably just a bad habit that I've picked up. I've never done anything like this before, so she doubts it could be tourettes. Although my brother has it, and I think my dad may have had it, so idk

I went to 2 neurologists a year ago and at the time I had tics for about 9 months. They both told me I just had tics that were likely anxiety related. Now it’s been almost 2 years since they first started. I’ll probably go to a neurologist again to see if the diagnosis has changed. Because I do have all the symptoms.

My daughter has hand gesture tics since she was around 3 years old, which docs have said she will grow out of. She is now 8 and they have not gone away. They clearly occur when she is excited or concentrating.

I told my mom that I started having tics a while ago and I told her that they were getting worse and becoming more vocal and she said I was doing it on purpose. So now I have tics a lot and she tells me to stop it and try not to do it. I don't know if I have a disorder or if it connects with my mental disorders. (General anxiety, bipolar, ADHD)

Good job well explained
This makes me cry. Cause I’m now %100 sure that I’ve got tics. extreme palilalia since around 16 and I’m 29 now and it hasn’t stopped a day. Il keep the same phrases for a year or 2 and some have died off and new ones grow for different reasons. I scream too. It’s odd cause I’m a male but I’m capable of screaming like a girl… and it’s one of the tics 😞
Im 12 almost 13 and ive had a head jerk for almost a year but i only noticed it a few months ago is th is tourrettes?
Tourette's requires physical and vocal ticks for at least a year. You seem to have an early somatic tic disorder.
Me too I'm 13 I have had a head jerk for only a few months tho
@@dahyunsdefenseattorney9279 samee
No, Tourettes requires more tics, including at least one vocal tic
No not even close
I guess I might have a tic disorder, I've had multiple tics (both motor and vebal) since I was a kid, specially when I was stressed, but I don't know if the tics lasted a full year.

I knew a kid in my school who had torettes and it didnt bother anyone that i know of in fact he seemed fairly calm
I have a tic where I flex a tendon in my elbow, along with one where I shake my ankle and leg. It has been like this for 4 months.
I have every single sign that shows that I have Tourette's syndrome, but I have never been diagnosed. When asked about what is "wrong" with me and why I am doing the things I have, I say that I have Tourette's syndrome, but that is immediately denied by everyone. I guess everyone has the education and certification to state whether or not I have Tourette's syndrome. I want to get this diagnosed, but I am 18 now, it started back in middle school by the way, and I am in college and I don't know what to do to get diagnosed. Can someone help me with this issue?
Make an appt with a neurologist. Explain that you made the appt because you have tics, and tell the doctor what the tics are, how long you've had them, etc.. She will categorize you into a category and make a treatment plan. Even though you've had them for years they will still be able to diagnose, usually more easily this way.
When it comes try to control it and not to do it . Remember if u don't tic u not gonna die or something gonna happen 2 u. This how i control my tic its hard but it works and gets better. If u let ur self with no fight it will get worse

@Vedaloshini Lingesveeramani what does it feel like for you when you feel like twitching?
@@karenjason6034 mine feels like I suddenly go tense then my head really quickly jerks to the side to sort of loosen itself but I have no control over it, it all happens too fast
@@pinkbananakids4874 I know how you feel it's all too fast like I have no control over it at all. I feel it coming a little but I cant stop it,it feels like a shiver and when it happens it goes all tense and hurts my neck most of the time if I jolt my head back or side ways too fast.
If I do have tics, mine are always complex. Here are the tics or repetitive behaviors I have:
- Squealing/Squeaking
- Pterodactyl-like noises
- Other high-pitched noises
- Clapping my hands
- Flapping my hands
- Saying “beep” or “beep beep” in a squeaky voice
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who gets tics I have them vocal and motor. I always jerk around in my seat at school and squeak and squeal around my friends. I also repeat the last word I say often. I also clap when I get excited and slam my hands on the table a lot and yell. It’s nice to know I’m not alone
Ok, I dont think I have tourette's but I twitch my face A LOT. I'll randomly blink, strain my mouth(?) and scrunch my nose. I really dont think I have tourette's but I've also noticed that the twitches happen a lot more say when I'm watching people with tourette's. As the video said, the feeling is an itch but before I can even reach to scratch it I just twitch to get rid of it. I'm really not sure anymore help 😣
I have the exact same 🙃😭
i was watching this because one of my favourite ytbers started with like squeezing their eyes shut/blinking a lot then got diagnosed. i’ve been doing that, randomly screaming with my mouth closed and clapping my hands for about 2 years. should i go to the doctors or am i fine?
you should talk to your guardian and do research with them then yes
Since I was about 12 I've had shivers across my shoulders (violent enough to turn them into that arm wave dance move if I have my arms up) and for some reason they happen more in certain situations than others
maybe your arms are just groovy?
I have ADHD and I have a facial tic from the Ritalin I took as a child. Now it comes back whenever I'm super stressed, and lasts for months. Its causes intense pain in my temples by the middle of the day. Its truly terrible.
Hit like if you’re here after Rani Mukherji’s “hichki”.

I have twitches and I make weird sounds! HELP!

Very expensive here in the Philippines....
I'm 20 now. when i was 12 suddenly i started blinking my eyes and shaking my head.I couldnt control that . automatically my eyes were blinking everyone told me i was doing that intentionally..
the blinking part -It happens to me every year only for 1 or 2 months and also stops by itself. idont know why. but when it happens everyone notice it laugh at me and call me weird..
the head shaking part- it is with me forever.
My daughter has tics, they started at the age of 8, since her dad just stopped seeing her. I feel as though they are simple, but also I feel there more frequently and she has added more tics.
I think I have tourette because I shake my body and turn my head left and right, I'm scared.
When it comes try to control it and not to do it . Remember if u don't tic u not gonna die or something gonna happen 2 u. This how i control my tic its hard but it works and gets better. If u let ur self with no fight it will get worse

dont be scared you can't control it, it is the most common thing for children to be diagnosed with (neurologically) that's at least what I heard
I may have Tourette’s I don’t know
Gacha Max same
did you get a diagnosis
I have motor and some vocal tics, I've dealt with panic attacks since i was about 11 and for the longest time i would only tic while experiencing an attack or generalized anxiety. Then when i was 19-20 i underwent a situation causing me to suffer ptsd which is still ongoing and after the ptsd set in and i realised i was struggling with it, my tics became more common and frequent, even when i am calm or not anxious at all. I have yet to see a therapist and am still lacking a real diagnosis surrounding my tics.
I’ve been ticking a little over a year now, and my nurse and stepmom (also a nurse) think I have Tourette’s (on the more severe side) this Friday I’m going to see a neurologist, wish me luck!
this video made me tic a lot for some reason can someone explain why
anyone here from latest sidemen video?
I
Yes lol
naw
i recently got diagnosed with tourettes so this is very interesting
I have tics with my neck and chest particularly and it causes both to hurt. It really sucks, so anyone who doesn't have then and is just looking this stuff up out of curiosity, be glad you don't lol.
Who is here after seeing that billie Eilish has Tourette’s disorder lol
Me
I wouldn't even know if I didn't watch interviews, etc. She is a good singer, she is one of those who can sing without having a tic.
sksksk and i oop and i oop
I get this random feeling down my spine that makes me tilt my head to the side a few times in a row
When I was little I had 3 tics, 1 vocal where I started laughing like a villain, in silence, I winked constantly twitching my mouth as well - this still goes on today when I am stressed, and then some weird breathing pattern like panting.
