Yes! Or “eye pillows”? They are rectangular, made with cloth and filled with rice or something similar to rice. Sometimes they also have lavender, very small crystals, etc. They have just enough weight to relieve facial pressure, anxiety, keeping your eyes closed, and many more uses! I love them! 🤗
I have several eye tics as well, but what affects me when I'm trying to sleep is a tic where my whole body just jolts. I hate it, this tic only ever happens if I'm laying down or trying to sleep as well :/
Heyhey I used to have oculogyric crises and I thought they were eye tics, so I'd look into them. Oculogyric crises happened as a side effect of medication to me and it didn't happen immediately but I think you talked about new meds recently? So I would have it on your radar. For me it's where my eyes would go up and stay up and no matter how many times I tried to get them to go down they would keep going up. I would also recommend a sleep mask or a medicine like Benadryl helped me make me sleepy/calm my nerves.
I had them for over a year and I would cry in frustration with them cause I thought it was just my tics and they were never this bad for this long. Your new tic might not be this but I want to look out for you cause I had no one to tell me what was happening to me was abnormal to my Tourette's.
Hi! i’m someone who has been experiencing tics for a while now, i know you may not see this but i just wanted to talk about stuff. I went to the doctor and she just told me to hold them in, and that it was just anxiety, and that i didnt have tourette’s bc i don’t have any social media. I just thought it was strange and thought i would tell someone who had tourette’s. Thanks for listening!
Maybe try a different doctor? It doesn't make any sense why she said you don't have tourettes just because you have social media. Also if she knew anything about tourettes or tics, she should know that you aren't really suppose to hold them in (because it makes them worse)
I also have a lot of eye tics, usually just blinking, but sometimes its hard blinking or crossing my eyes really hard. Also gives me headaches, it sucks.
Hey! Don't worry, you have a lot of people struggling the same thing as you and always keep in mind that you are DEFINETLY not the only one. For instance, I also have tourette syndrome and I usually have the same problem as you. Just go to your daily medicine place, give them your records and the problem your facing (in this case the eye tics) and they will give you a special medicine to calm it down. It works for me a lot! Hope this helps!
There was one time in high school where my eyes were blinking so much...they gave me eye drops which did absolutely nothing...I only realized recently that they were TICS and I DIDN'T NEED THOSE STUPID DROPS
Aw. I'm sorry you had a bad night. I know a natural remedy for eye-twitching is a warm towel to help relax the muscles. I'm not sure this would be effective with Tourette's. Hope you find something that helps.
I’ve found sleep masks to be helpful when I’m having a lot of eye tics

You should get an eye/sleeping mask to make it so that it’s like your eyes are actually closed, idk if this will do anything tho
It helps my eye tics chill out
Sometimes I still do it when I have a mask on though and I just get stressed out but sometimes it might help

I have eye tics too so I keep rolling my eyes and I’ve legit lost friends over it because they refused to believe me😢
Take care of yourself, okay? I know you’re not having any fun right now, but we’re holding a good thought for you! ♥️

I’m sorry you have to go through that, it must be tough. May I send you virtual hug? ((((❤️))))
Oh I’m sorry. This as happening to me not too long ago too with my eyes tics. It can be so frustrating
it would be awful and I can hear the pain ,I wish I could stop them for you
Love to you ♡
Hey bro, you’re not alone. My eye tics have always been bad. It fricken sucks. :(

I have a tic where i squeeze my eyes shut really hard so i don't know where im going so i have to stay still so i dont run into anything.
I also have a lot of eye tics, usually just blinking, but sometimes its hard blinking or crossing my eyes really hard. Also gives me headaches, it sucks.
I don't have tourettes but I also get these. Mostly when I'm stressed out or super focused. Great for being a gamer 🙄

I can’t count the amount of times I’ve spilled hot chocolate on myself bc of my tics this season 😭😭
I will be praying for you, Carly!

Those seem very annoying, my eyelids randomly shut really hard and it hurts as a tic so i hope your eye tics get better soon
Ah this is making my eye tics worse ha. I always sleep with eye mask. I have chronic tic disorder, not Tourette’s.
before you got diagnosed with tourettes did you ever get in trouble in school?
It's no joke I feel for you 😢
A video without "I got rice"? Nice
