i was a bit hesitant to post this, but i figured why not. I have tourettes syndrome, which is a ticcing disorder. Commenly associated with obsessive compulsive disorder, which i have "traces" of you could say. And it really bothers me, although i stay strong with it, it can get frustrating at times. I know God gave me this for a reason, to rely on God more and to use my disadvantages and work it through for advantages for God. So please pray for me that thigns work out fine.

Tics are basically neurolocigal occurances where somebody has the impulse to say or do things. Physcially and verbally. such as makign a jerking movement, or repeating a phrase, it can be from mild to severe. And tourettes is NOT where somebody screams out random swear words, that is a steryotype.

I will pray. God will use it. He uses so many things.

You do? Wow. I have the same thing, to be honest. It's never bothered me. I only twitch a little bit in my arm or leg, though there have been times when there have been slightly more wide-spread ones. It only happens when I'm not fully aware, or half-asleep but still knowing whats going on. That occurs in Math Class XD. Anyway, I'll pray. The worst part of it for me is the random headaches and dizziness.

Sorry to hear about that man. I pray that God will help you cope with all of this. On of my best friends has the same thing. He's been in a couple seizures and convolutions. I pray everything works out man.

I'll keep you in prayer.

Thatnks for the info. I can only imagine the frustration you must feel at times. You seem to have a good attitude about it, I'll pary God uses that to His advantage. Keep fighting, the pains of this world are temporary.

I shall pray for peace and strength in your heart regarding this matter. May God carry you through this victoriously and use you greatly.

I know a LOT about Tourette Syndrome, and those who know me here will attest to why. And, tics are common in other disorders, to have Tourettes you need to have both vocal and physical tics. There is a fantastic book about TS called, "Children with Tourette Syndrome; A Parent's Guide" by Tracy Haerle (edited)

You have a great attitude about your TS, Mr. Smartypants.

Thank you so much for pointing that out. The copralalia only affects around 25-30% of people with TS.

PM me if you ever want to talk about it. I will definitely be praying for you and others here with TS and OCD. ^_____________^

I will pray.

Yes~ I know how that feels >_<
It's okay~ don't be shy or feel hesitant about it~
I think if you put your mind to it~ and continue to rely
and pray to God as you are now~ I think one day
it will be cured~ one of my friends was cured~ so
I believe yours may too^^ I'll pray~Don't give up~!^^

Come to think of it, a friend of mine has eye tics. It might be mild TS. I myself am epileptic, so I know that neurological disorders can be really complicated and strange things. I'll certainly pray for you, brother.

whoa! i never noticed! dude i'll be prayin'!
