What Ticks You Off?

What Ticks You Off? 12/14/2008

Before I blindly launch into another tic post, I'd love to hear about some topics that interest you the most. Is it research? How to suppress tics? How to accept them? Medicine vs. natural herbs? Worse case scenarios vs. light cases? Fear vs. how to develop a kick-butt attitude toward everything? Tell me, please!

And happy Monday!

Okay, everything you just mentioned sounds great. D-All the above. I know what mostly interests me now is supressing the tic and herbal methods but learning how to not look at her and wait for tic and live life is also very important to me.

Hi. Things that I'm interested in would be ... research, and what is really being done. We hear about research into cancer etc {which is much needed ofcourse} but never hear much about TS. Are they any closer to finding out why?

Also, the suppression thing is always a biggie I think.

And, I guess for us to learn how to just "be". ... if that makes sense.lol

Keep up the great work you do,
Lyn.

TICKED OFF: TOURETTES TALK

"When You Can't Fix the Tics, Fix Yourself"

Consider this is your 12-Step Tourettes Support Group where we will encourage each other to:

1. Accept the tics we cannot change

2. Change the tics we can

3. And have the wisdom to know the difference.

ABOUT ME
My son, Stink, was diagnosed with mild Tourettes when he was 4. I was terrifed he would curse, shriek, scream and hump busses.

Quite the opposite, he is highly creative, social and thriving.

I keep his tics at a minimum through a gluten free/caesin free diet.

While I haven't eliminated his tics altogether, I'm eliminating fear through a good dose of humor and acceptance.

I hope you'll join me so we can support each other on this crazy journey. Welcome to Ticked Off.

I write weekly for the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome blog. Come visit me, and other awesome parents, for some daily support!
