Hello, I spoke to my mum and she said there are no family members who have had it. Just me, if it was just a case of having it for 6-8 months I'd look the other way, but the fact it's been going on 14years has thrown me. Ill definitely check that forum out. It's weird I don't feel out of place here haha. It's hard to talk to someone else about it😳.....

Aww that sounds great! I hope he gets to where you want him to be. Sounds brilliant. It's weird because yesterday and the day before my tics were so bad, bad enough that they ended up giving me a headache where I was constantly doing it. But today they haven't been so bad. I'm just confused, does it sound like Tourettes?

I haven't because I haven't been diagnosed with Tourette's. My mum suspects its Tourette's this is why I posted in here because I was just wondering if anyone could shed any light.. But no I haven't tried any kinds of diet

Hi all. I'm in a bit of a pickle, since the age of 4 I've had facial&vocal tics. The facial ones are; squinting, shaking my head, ruffling my nose and eyebrows. The vocal are clearing my throat and humming. I am now 18 and it hasn't got any better. There are times when all of my tics aren't that bad but then they can go the opposite way and be terrible. I recently went to the doctor and he has referred me to CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) my worry is that it won't work as I've had them so long.. Could anybody give any advice? I would be so grateful!

Okay so I'm super new to this, I've never done this before so I'm rather nervous about it.. But for the past 14 years I've had numerous amount of facial tics and a few vocal. They tend to get more severe when I'm tired or irritated. The vocal ones are clearing my throat and humming after that. Facial ones vary from squinting to ruffling my nose and eyebrows shaking my head. And it's got to the point where I feel like people stare or judge me. So I went to the doctors and he said I should go for CBT. Can anyone shed some light or share a similar experience? I would be so grateful.
