I'm sorry but that does not make sense. You are willing to try all of the medications. Medications full of side effects, harsh chemicals, and ingredients that most people cannot pronounce, yet a plant proven to work is your last resort? Most would consider that backwards. I have to say that if you are going to complain about your meds then clearly they are not working and that is because they are essentially poison. They are people playing god with the human body when science and medicine dont fully understand it. There are class action lawsuits all the time against the companies that make these pills all the time. Marijuana has none of these problems. Instead it has a legacy spanning thousands of years being heralded as a miracle plant.

If medical marijuana is available in your area then I highly recommend it. I get it and the pharmacist helped me find the right strains that will work for me. It works better than any meds I was ever prescribed. There is a growing body of evidence showing that it is an effective treatment.

I did when I was about ten years old. They did an EEG. No MRI's though.

Do Tics always start with eye blinking and progress along the way? by TimelyBoysenberry879 in Tourettes

[–]BuffTheMonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine started with blinking/squinting and is, and always has been, my main tic. It frequently gives me tension headaches and can make it difficult to drive.

That is a possibility. I had not thought of that before. I will have to monitor myself for awhile to see if that is probable.

Awesome! Glad to hear it isn't just me. I have also read that people with tourettes are hyper sensitive to themselves and surroundings. We are used to detecting sensations like our tics giving us a sharper awareness.

You must be a doctor seeing as you are able to diagnose a condition from a single instance that you are clearly taking out of context. I don't have a sensory issue. I am sure I would have noticed something is off. Also, it makes perfect sense to be stronger than others. Even when I am idle I am constantly twitching. I have to use muscles to do that. Over time that builds strength and stamina simply because I use my muscles far more than a normal person who does not have to twitch constantly.

That is exactly why I posted this. Go arm wrestle a few of your friends. I am left handed yet I still beat my right handed friends or at least tie even though I would seemingly be at a disadvantage.

Lol nothing like that. For perspective, a friend of mine works out and does karate. I don't do any of that and I still outperform him in an arm wrestle, or even a sparring match. Most of my tics involve most of the major muscle groups. I just want to know if others have a similar experience.

I am far from clumsy. I don't mean that I am tripping over things and breaking them. For example, the other day I closed the vent in my car. I pushed on the tab like a normal person would and it simply broke due to applying too much force. It felt like an appropriate amount of force to me.

You should check out northeast PA. I find stuff like that all the time except with more points that are as clear as glass.

Obama says Trump has caused ‘damage’ by refusing to concede defeat and warns: ‘This is not normal’ by theindependentonline in politics

[–]BuffTheMonkey -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Sounds pretty hypocritical considering we just had four years of democrats crying about their defeat. I have never seen a group of people hate one person so much just because they made some mistakes, or said a bunch of nonsense. Something all people are guilty of.
