I have a very hard time sitting still. The only way i am able to sit still is if i dose off into a different world and just day dream. I cant sit still i always have my sholder tic, eye tic, neck tic, and abdominal tic. Those are my main ones and it gives me a really hard time sitting still and paying attention. I was actually going to post up a new thread asking if anybody has children or even them selves with tics who have a hard time paying attention or reading. I have a really tough time concentrating on my reading because i always tic after every 2 words i read. It is really making it really hard for me to do my thing to get my law degree. I was looking up A.D.D symptoms and i have a few of them so i feel like that might be also one of my problems. If anybody else has any input for both of us please let us know.

Hmm that is very possible actually considering it started RIGHT after me and my friend started talkin about it and my mom confirmed i can go. I do have L-Carnetine but i kinda stopped taking it it had a horrible taste. I wish i got the ones in pill form. Also im taking magnesium but i get magnesium from 3 different supplements and i think im getting to much how much should be consumed from just supplements daily? and i have not been tested for spring allergies but i dont know if i have allergies i tryed taking claritin D and i had no help at all for anything.

Hello, i havent been on here for awhile, because i had been doing pretty good with my tics had them under control and they were very minimal. Two days ago my old vocal tic came back just randomly out of know where and its really bothering me. I make a sound like it sounds like bahh or mummm and sometimes just a hmmmm... I am going on a trip with my friends this weekend and im really worried its gonna happen at night while im trying to sleep while the room is silent and im gonna be asked what was that etc. I am really worried anybody have any suggestions how i can stop this vocal tic or atleast cover it up? Thanks

Hey everyone, I haven't been taking few of my workout supplements because i fear they might cause my tics. I was looking at what is in them today and i didnt really find anything that i feel might cause my tics i was wondering if you all who are more experienced with these tic triggers can look over these ingredients and tell me if there is anything that may cause my tics. Thank You AST Creatine: Creatine Monohydrate 5grams (this is all thats in it creatine it is a natural amino acid that is found in red meat and is formed in muscle tissues) Cyto Gainer: Vitamin A 33% Vitamin C 33% Vitamin D 33% Vitamin E 33% Thiamine 33% Riboflavin 35% Niacin 33% Vitamin B6 35% Folic Acid 33% Vitamin B12 33% Biotin 33% Pantothenic Acid 33% Calcium 33% Iron 33% Phosphorus 33% Iodine 33% Magnesium 33% Zinc 33% Copper 35% Chromium 100mcg Ingredients: CytoCarb II™(CytoSport's Unique Combination Of Branching As Well As Long Linear Chain Maltodextrins With Very Low "DE" (Dextrose Equivalence) Providing A Complex Source Approximately 96.5% Sugar-Free), CytoCarb II™(Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Hydrolysate), Creatine Monohydrate, CytoVite I™(Vitamin And Mineral Premix Consisting Of Vitamin A Acetate, Cholecalciferol, D-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbic Acid, Folate, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Niacinamide, Pyridoxine HCL, Cyanocobalamin, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Di-Calcium Phosphate, Potassium Iodide, Potassium Chloride, Ferrous Fumarate, Magnesium Oxide, Copper Gluconate, Zinc Oxide, Chromium Nicotinate), Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum, Soy Lecithin, Natural And Artificial Flavors, Potassium Citrate, Carrageenan, Acesulfame Potassium, Caramel Color, Sucralose Allergen Statement: This Product Contains Ingredients Dervied From Milk And Soy. What do you all think can i take these without fear? Or should i watch out for some things that are in them.

Perhaps your tics increase with stress/anxiety and leaving home makes you slightly anxious. At home they don't bother you because you're completely comfortable. yeh and also its always on my mind in public how can i fix this?

well thanks for all the information. I dont understand the past few days ive only been eating at home clean chicken breast home cooked home seasoned and veggies or home made pasta with my own topping and some food we make in our house its on a tortilla bread with beef, garlic and stuff. Im great at home usually tic free well except a few minor eye blinking and neck stretching, but once i leave the house to go out with friends or go to school im start to tic not crazy harsh ticing but enough to bother me. Why would this be?

Hmm very interesting. This is a very tricky situation... By going to the doctor would he/she be able to tell me what the reason for my tics are? Or will it still be a hit or miss

Ok i got a new question, lets say my tics are caused by alergies/stress does that mean there is a chance that MSGs, food dyes, and other types of triggers wont trigger my tics, and by solving my allergy problem and stress problems i would be tic free? Or are these MSGs and other stuff just universal tic triggers?

I see, so basically it can take up to a week of eating correctly and taking my supplements for me to be tic free, because no matter how clean i eat im just not 100% tic free i still have my eye tic and neck stretching tic... Also, if i keep up this clean diet and supplement would it be a possibility that i can be cured from my tics? or is it once you have chronic tics your stuck with it Also, lets say i just go to a restaurant. How can i see whats in the food i would like to order i mean its not like they bring a label with the food or put a label in the menu.

Honestly the way i see it we cant really eat ANYTHING.. Im sure everything nowadays has SOME sort of additives that will cause our tics. With your childrens controlled diets do you guys see no tics at all? or do you guys see some minor tics like eye blinking and stuff. Im asking because, even when i eat really clean home foods (i hope they dont have additives) i still have my minor eye blinking and sometimes neck stretching. I also take my magnesium taurate, calcium citrate, and l carnetine. Im just curious if you all see 0 tics from your kids or your selves when you have the correct diet.

We just removed our really old carpet and replaced it with hardwood. I didnt notice any change in my tics or anything even under heavy construction if anything the tics were less, but im a werid one my tics just appear and go away then appear again at unexpected times. Im sure youll be fine.

Hmm yeh i figured the macdonalds would be the reason. I just wanted to see if it was going to have an effect it was sort of a test. So how do i know if something i eat OUT has these bad things in it. for example, cheesecake factory, Bj's, hot wings cafe, hooters, etc are these places also going to have MSGs and stuff would would tics be triggered from foods like these or its mainly the cheaper faster drive through style foods i should stay away from.

What did you have for lunch? Macdonalds :-D lol... bic mac. fries, chicken nuggets, and a coke ( i know big meal).

no, no shedding animals. what is histamine? is that why we have tics? It was really werid today i woke up just fine then as the day went on it got worse and worse i think it might have been my lunch, but after i ate my lunch for about an hour or 2 it was ok then just randomly it hit me got kinda bad then went down when i went to my cousins house. Then we went out to a concert and i dont know why it became bad again my body felt really stressed i dont know why. Then i went to eat and it got better again. HOnestly the tics are so unexpected i have no idea what to think is causing it.

Yes i looked at the list. The werid thing is my tics tend to get less when i come home from where ever i am. Wouldn't it get worse if it was dust mites considering those are usually indoors?

Hey everyone, i was sitting around and thinking i was wondering would it be possible that my only tic triggers are stress and allergies? Because during summer i eat the same as i do in the winter i eat anything and everything the only thing different in the summer is the fact that i dont have school to worry about i love the weather more and i guess no allergy? Would this be possible? I really think i have a allergy my nose clogs every chance it gets especially when i am in doors and my eyes tear up and no matter what i do i cant get my nose open. What do you guys think?

The weird thing is last night i felt i had more control over my tics like i was able to stop my self from doing it. It was that much of a difference. I will continue everything today hopefully i can manage to figure out how to pretty much get rid of my tics. Honestly, now that i know what is wrong with me i really feel not normal compared to other people its really a depressing thing when i look around me and realize i probably will never feel the way they feel. I just wish one day i can feel that way...

I just got myself some magnesium taurate, calcium citrate, and L- carnetine. I started taking them and i dont know if it was phsyological but i feel i already had a much easier day today compared to yesterday. I cant really tell if it was the supplements i took or if it was just one of those days where things happen to go better for me. How long are the supplements suppose to take to show results? I cant say they were all gone, but it was less stressful today.

Thank you, i just messaged her.

I think caffeine is a known trigger for a lot of people. Depending on your coffee habits you might want to see if it makes a difference for you, too. Me too. That's why I only use Clonidine. I take it at night before I go to bed so I don't notice the "drowsiness" side effect. What about THC in pill form (Marinol)? Most doctors won't prescribe it but some will. But I hear it's quite expensive. Do a google search for "Marinol tourettes" and you can read some studies suggesting it is extremely effective. Re: your other reply: I haven't heard anything about hypnosis working. The only thing I've heard of working, other than a few medications, is some electro brain stimulation, and I've never heard any *conclusive* proof (or long term studies suggesting it's safe and you don't go crazy or develop other problems). Im really not much of a coffee drinker but i kinda noticed yesterday after the coffee i was having alittle big more tics.... the THC pill wouldnt that effect my driving? as in i wouldnt be able to drive? I was really hoping hypnosis could help that one seems like the easy answer.. i emailed a hypnosis im waiting for a response back. I asked if he has treated anyone with this problem.

I will be getting some magnesium today. I dont think i had strep, but i have had something that could have been mistaken for strep. I had mono once and one other time it might have been mono again or it could have been strep i honestly cant remember what the test results said I have had tics way before that so i dont think that would be it. Allergies make sense to me because half the time in winter my eyes get teary my nose is pretty much sealed shut, but i guess that could all be from the discomfort my tics give me. I will be going to get some new supllements that i have seen work for others hopeully itll help me alittle bit. Other then that i really have no idea how to start looking for things that aggrivate my tics. Would it usually be a instand aggrivation or would it come in after a few hours, days, weeks? Also can i somehow find a long list of major tic aggrivators? also i would like to bring up my hypnosis question one more time i would like to know why no body has gone that path ont he website is it helpful does it work?

Well in that case off to vitamin shoppe i go.... ill get myself some magnesium, calcium, l- carnetine (since everybody else seems to be taking it)

I was just reading a little more about tics (honestly now that i know whats wrong with me i cant stop reading about it). Every article i read mentions a good way to treat tics are by hypnotherapy and hypnosis. With hypnosis they transfer the stress release to the toe or something so its not noticeable like when the stress release is on the face or other body parts. I searched for hypnosis and hypnotherapy on the forums but came up with nothing. Now my question is how come no body uses hypnosis as a treatment? does it really work? I would really like to go in that direction in addition to adding some new supplements to my daily life.

im 19 turning 20 in april and i weigh 185 pounds

i just got back from a coffee shop, the first thing my mom said to me was you started your weird eye blinking again in a moody way and i just walked away without giving her an answer it really irritated me. I really rather stay away from those medications if the side effects are like that lol. I don't believe in smoking MJ so i wont be doing that plus it will completely ruin my future plans. I think tomorrow i will go get myself some ionic magnesium and stop taking my fish oil maybe i can figure something out i dont know. Most of the supplements i noticed are kind of leaning more towards children so i dont know what to take. When i was out today i noticed i kept blinking and stretching my neck i was able to somehow hide them but im sure they noticed... whatever what can i do :-\
