No New Groups Forming For Now

No New Groups Forming For Now 10/12/2009

HI all -

Thanks for all your comments a few posts back about wanting to join a second Twitch and Bitch Group.

Here's the deal: Everyone has been saying they are interested (some I've sent invites to) but no matter how many times I've tried to start a second or third group, it never really takes off. Sure, at the beginning, there's some interest, but it always fades away.

So for now, this website is going to be the support group. If any mom out there finds a connection with another mom here, please leave an email in the comment box and write to each other. Form a group. Be pro-active! Invite me to participate here and there.I will absolutely answer any questions I have or point you in the right direction. (I am no expert of course.)

But with my other group, this website, and my other jobs, I can't keep forming groups that people, despite best intentions, aren't actively engaging in.

That said, ACN is an amazing place to get information on TS as well as write in daily to find out more info.

In the meanwhile, I will try and post more here. If you've got questions on specific subjects, leave the information here in the comments and I'll do my best to answer you in the comments or do a whole new post on it.

I'm at the point now, though, I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed. I can't do all this on my own anymore.

For people new to TS, please wrtie me. I will ALWAYS write you back. You are not alone. Let this website be a starting point for you. I want to help in anyway I can.

Much luck and thanks -

Andrea

I came over for your comment on my Halloween post--my son has TS as well. I'll be back to read more.

Tenex had a huge positive impact for my son, but I'm very interested in the other remedies.

TICKED OFF TOURETTES TALK

My son, Stink, was diagnosed with Tourettes in 2007. Thanks to the media, I feared my son would bark, curse and have no social life. Quite the opposite, my son is highly creative, smart, funny, popular with his peers and about as sweet and soulful a child you'd ever want to meet..

Not wanting to medicate my son, I have supressed a good portion of his tics through diet, supplements and a healthy lifestyle.

Well, I think it's the diet. Perhaps it's simply he has mild TS and all this is for nothing. But I don't think so.

That's what this blog is about - the ups and downs of living with tics - not a cure all.

This blog is about support. Because let's face it, living with Tourettes can sometimes be a challenge. But half of the time it's a challenge because of our own ideals of perfection. And face it - our kids are perfect - tics or not.

You are not alone.

Welcome to Ticked Off.
