Collapsed twitching...

[moeburn]

tourettes is when you curse without meaning it or spit without meaning it and shit like that

No, its not. Tourette's is when you feel like you have a fire burning inside of you and you have to get it out, trying to not twitch or click my tongue is sometimes like trying to not blink.

I have tourette's.

DON'T FUCK AROUND WITH THAT SHIT! I HAVE EPILEPSY, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED TO SEE A NEUROLOGIST. THOSE ARE USUALLY CALLED GRAN MAL SEIZURES IF YOUR OUT COLD, AND THEY CAN LAST ANYWHERE FROM 1MIN. TO 45MIN. IF YOUR AWAKE AND CAN NOT STOP IT THEY ARE USUALLY CALLED ABSANCE SEIZURES. AND THEY HAVE A LOT MORE KINDS THAN THOSE. HERE'S THE BAD NEWS--YOU NEED MEDICATION NOW!!!!
YOU WILL KILL YOURSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE IN A CAR. TRUST ME I KNOW, I'M 36, AND I'VE HAD THIS SINCE I WAS 14. OK ENOUGH DEPRESSING NEWS--- IN THE STATE YOU LIVE IN IF MEDICAL MARIJUANA IS ALOWED. GO SEE A REGULAR DOCTOR FIRST, GET A COPY OF YOUR RECORDS, GET IN THERE AND GET YOURSELF A LICENSE TO SMOKE AND GROW POT LEGALLY. IT WORKS WELL. PLEASE SEE A DOCTOR FOR THIS! GOOD LUCK!

ok first of all, it was controllable. second, i was diagnosed with tourette's. third, i'm in canada.

i would put a smiley to show my lax attitude but my shift key is broken. you get the idea.

I'M CURIOUS SINCE I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THAT. EVERYONE IS ALWAYS LED TO BELIEVE THAT YOU JUST CUSS UNCONTROLLABLY, IS THAT SO, OR IS IT A LITTLE SIMILER TO EPILEPSY??? I'M GLAD YOU WERE DIAGNOSED. THAT'S GREAT. NOW SMOKE A JOINT AND WRITE BACK!!!!!!

[moeburn]

epilepsy is where your brain temporarily shuts down because of overinformation. tourette's is just an uncontrollable urge to move and say something, often misdiagnosed as add. some people have the uncontrollable urge to say something so much that they swear alot, i just randomly gasp for air or click my tongue.

WAS WONDERING IF TOURETTE'S IS, OR CAN BE PASSED DOWN, LIKE EPILEPSY CAN BE. FOR INSTANCE MY GREAT GRANDMA HAD IT, MY MOTHER HAS IT, AND I GOT IT WAY F***ING WORSE. WHAT KIND OF MEDS DO THEY PUT YOU ON FOR THAT??? IF I'M TO IN YOUR FACE, LET ME KNOW, I'LL BACK OFF. I KNOW HOW BAD MY SHIT PISSES ME OFF, THE SHITTY ASS SEIZURES , AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF THAT GOES WITH.

Tourette's syndrome is rare, is thought to be a neurological rather than a psychiatric disease. It isn't pre-disposed in you, because it doesn't begin until childhood.

Haloperidol and clonidine have produced dramatic improvement in some patients.

Haloperidol: Apo-Haloperidol (CAN), Haldol, Haldol Decanoate, Haldol LA (CAN), Novo-Peridol (CAN), Peridol (CAN), PMS-Haloperidol (CAN)

Clonidine: Apo-Clonidine (CAN), Catapres, Catapres-TTS (transdermal preparation), Dixarit (CAN), Nu-Clonidine (CAN)

I WAS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THE DRUGS, AND SUCH, I KNOW IT'S A NEUROLOGIC DISEASE, BECAUSE I JUST SAW MY NEUROLOGIST, AND IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS SHE TREATS. I HOPE YOU WERE NOT SUGGESTING THAT EPILEPSY IS A PSYCHIATRIC DISEASE, BECAUSE I HAVE A $20,000 IMPLANT THAT SAYS IT'S NOT (VAGAL NERVE STIMULATER--VNS) AND I TAKE 40 ANTI SEIZURE DRUGS PER DAY ON TOP OF THAT. IF YOU WEREN'T SUGGESTING THAT, THAN I MIS UNDERSTOOD YOU. SORRY! BUT I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE DRUGS, AND HOW CLOSE THEY ARE, OR ARE NOT TO THE ANTI SEIZURE DRUGS. THANKS!!
