Tourette ticks (OMG PLEASE READ AND HELP)!
Question: Tourette ticks (OMG PLEASE READ AND HELP)
ok so alot of times i have these weird urges to tense a muscle or move something and it's really hard to relieve because I just feel like I have to do it!. I don't know how long its been happening but I can remember it severely in the last 2-3 years!. Somedays I don't have it at all, but it's like if it happens once I won't be able to stop all day or even all week!. Btw, I'm 13!. I was just reading an article on tourette's ticks and it kind of described it perfectly "mmediately preceding tic onset, most individuals with Tourette's are aware of an urge that is similar to the need to sneeze or scratch an itch!. Individuals describe the need to tic as a buildup of tension, pressure, or energy] which they consciously choose to release, as if they "had to do it"to relieve the sensationor until it feels "just right"!. Examples of the premonitory urge are the feeling of having something in one's throat, or a localized discomfort in the shoulders, leading to the need to clear one's throat or shrug the shoulders!." But I don't have any of the other symptoms of the disease, and my parent's don't know about this!. I don't have any medical problems and I'm a pretty normal kid, but reading this just scared me!. what do you think!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

no offense but at 13 your typically going to be a hypochondriac - the only real way to be sure is to go see a doctor and they'll do the CT scans and MRI's to see if you have it - dont self diagnose because you will almost always be wrong because when you read symptoms of something you all of a sudden start having themWww@Answer-Health@Com
Are you SURE you don't have vocal tics!? Think about it, do you have to clear your throat a lot!?
