michaelct Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Just curious, I have TS and when my Chest hurts, from working out or my head hurts, I seem to tic more in that area. Like if my head hurts, I will jerk it more then usual, and if my chest hurts, I have to touch it more than usual. I have also noticed this in my daughter. When she has a stuffy nose, her sniff tic goes crazy. Have any of you guys noticed things like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Hi Michael yes there are a number of anecdotal reports here of tics related to "irritated" areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovedogs Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Oh,yes, stimulation in certain areas triggers tics for my son. When he started working out with a trainer at the gym he started having more cervical and shoulder tics. Also, whenever he gets his braces adjusted, he tics more in the facial areas as well. Same with the sniffling tic: if my son is getting over a cold, he will continue sniffling for a few weeks afterwards even though the virus has already cleared. I believe that is more an OCD type tic than it is TS specific. He also sometimes has a finger sniffing tic that he only does when he eats food with his hands. If he eats with a fork, we don't see the tic (when that one shows up anyway). Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
