Yes, when she was around 4 or 5, I remember her lifting her shirt and arm like her shirt was bothering her. I remember it because it deeply bothered me, but it passed. And then nothing at all (tic wise) until now other than she seemed to have sensory issues with her clothes. Like she wouldn't like the feel of them and refused to wear them or purchase clothes because of the way they felt to her. Is there something significant about the age 5 or 6? Also, before the sudden onset in may, she coughed from november to february until the doctor gave her a strong antibiotic to get rid of it. I have wondered about that cough, too.
When I met my husband, I didn't notice any tics. His tics started after we were married and he says he didn't have any during childhood. But I did notice he blinked a lot. Now he is full-blown...grunts, clears throat, flails arm, moves legs, grimacing, bunny nose, turning head.... He did tell me that he remembered smelling his baseball glove. He also had a seizure in high school.
