frequent vocal and body ticks Posted: 03-17-08 12:43pm
Hey I'm almost 19 years old (Male) and in
the past year some things have not been
quite right.
I'm sorta having tourette like symptoms
however I am no expert so i'll just list
the symptoms that are currently occuring.
Random ticks happening very frequently
(Once a minute or even more).
They're either just a vocal whelp or a
full body tick.
They happen spontaneously and it's as
though I feel I have to do them basically
for relief, I feel calm after they've
happened until the next minute (usually
less actually).
When I hear a stupid immature word that
agitates me or an annoying habit I
dislike, these ticks start happening once
every couple of seconds for 15 seconds or
so, the vocal and body ticks at this point
are usually combined.
It also happens a lot when I'm just lying
in bed and it's stuffing up my sleep
pattern. I can control it rather well
around friends and people in general but I
feel not at ease in this situation. It's
as though I just wanna let it all out.
(When I do let it all out it just comes
back a minute later).
Any ideas what's wrong with me?
This never happened until I was 17 and
there's no family history regarding
anything like this.

Oh btw forgot to mention (Can't edit
previous post).
At 15 I was sorta diagnosed with Aspergus
syndrome.
The phyciatrist I was seeing said I had
certain symptoms that were evident but not
really enough to call it a diagnosis.
I think my dads the same, he seems to get
angry a lot and most of his arguments end
up turning into nonsensical self pity
drivel (However he does have a lot of
stress).
My symptoms were strange eye activity,
shyness and mild social issues.
Given my past a lot of people put it as a
misdiagnosis which made me relieved.
However these current symptoms I am
experiencing clearly display that there is
something wrong.

Hey.
Yeah i'll try to get a doctors
appointment.
Is it normal for tourettes to just become
active after 17 years?
Just seems strange to me, something could
have possibly triggered it?

There's not really info about it in google
and I really want to go to a doctor as a
last resort.
I'd rather not have this disability on
paper records.

I agree, this sounds like tourettes
syndrome. I found a very good site with
lots of info for you to look at.
