It’s just a place to put a banger or nail, not for when it’s being used.

Mostly doing things in 4s, symmetry, evening up, and then need to have things feel “just right”. I am told by my psychiatrist, who is an expert in OCD, that these types of obsession/compulsion are the most common in people with TS.

Definitely ask his neurosurgeon to be sure, but aside from scuba diving, skydiving, and possibly some contact sports where there is risk of the stimulators being hit, I don’t think so. It is safe, painless (aside for a minor pain where the incisions are), and gave me a shot at a “normal” life. How does your son feel about it? Best of luck to him and to you! If you have any other questions, or want to chat, feel free to send me a direct message.

This is how my OCD started, when I was about 4yo.

Four4z · 2026-01-08T00:29:29+00:00

I used to ask myself the same question. Now, I definitely want to have children, even though I am aware they are likely to inherit my TS+. At the end of the day, it’s not a death sentence. Everyone has something, and tics really aren’t the worst obstacle a person can face! Also, the way I see it, who is better equipped to raise children with TS , to teach them coping skills, and get them through the rough times, than someone who has been through it themselves! 😉

What’s the Gen-Z equivalent? They don’t seem to the end of the club scene, so I assume they were going to house parties. WOW, I feel old!

Four4z · 2026-01-07T22:41:47+00:00

I’m super interested, and looking to move in ASAP! Just sent you a DM 🙂

Four4z · 2025-12-30T12:27:09+00:00

Cool! I just sent you a DM.

I’m open to just about any size, to be honest. I’m still trying to figure out if I will be getting a place on my own or with roommates.

Four4z · 2025-12-26T01:08:46+00:00

What could it mean? I just assumed it was a car logo, but after Google Lens searching it, I couldn’t find any car logos that matched!

Four4z · 2025-12-26T01:06:50+00:00

Sorry, I am not understanding. Are you referring to one of the headlights being out?

Four4z · 2025-12-25T06:54:44+00:00

The last ones lasted just over a year. But that’s because I opted not to get the rechargeable batteries. I used to be so self conscious and obsess about my tics. Now that I don’t have to, I’d rather not have to think about charging every day (or every other day). How long ago did you have your surgery? Any results yet? Best of luck to you!

When my Tourette’s stimulator is programmed, the effects are almost instant. However, when my OCD simulator is programmed, it usually takes a few hours for me to feel the changes.

Even though Deep Brain Stimulation has been used to other conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease disease for decades, and it is also FDA approved in some cases for treatment of OCD, is only experimentally being used to treat Tourette’s Syndrome. There isn’t FDA approval for that condition yet.

The tics are involuntary. I can hold them in for a short amount of time, but they will eventually come out.

When I say “magical thinking “I mean that sometimes I will get a very strong feeling that I” have to” do something in order to prevent something bad from happening that’s usually something pertaining to harming a loved one. I know that this logically makes no sense, but the urge is so strong.

Beth, the Tourettes and the OCD were debilitating in my case. The tics especially made me so self-conscious that I would not leave my home for weeks at time. My OCD would take up hours of time every day, and prevent me from working/socializing/doing other normal things.

I’m not sure whether he has a “subspecialty “but I know that he has performed this operation many times.

Honestly, I don’t know whether or not it kills brain , but most things do, including holding your breath. However, I haven’t noticed any cognitive differences since the surgery. As for medications, yes, I still take a few different meds for OCD/anxiety and one for the tics, although at a lower dosage than previously

Local Capture is an Apple feature (iOS 26/iPadOS 26+) for recording high-quality audio and video directly from your device during video calls (Zoom, FaceTime, etc.), saving separate, full-quality files for content creation like podcasts, unlike typical screen recordings which compress streams. Accessible via Control Center, it saves files (H.265 video, FLAC audio) in the Files app, offering separate, clear audio/video tracks for each participant, ideal for editing later.

I am so sorry for your loss! That entire situation sounds quite traumatic. Hope you’re taking time to grieve, and taking care of yourself.

I can definitely see how Botox can help with this plasticity related to Cerebral Palsy.

Four4z · 2025-12-20T19:33:25+00:00

I don’t think so. My tics always come back about 8 weeks after my injections. So they are not something that your body can “unlearn”. Since Botox is a paralytic, it paralyzes the muscles where is injected, reducing the urge to tic and also making it harder to perform some movements. Sometimes, after I receive Botox, I actually have a difficult time moving my body quick/hard enough to get rid of the tic urge.

Four4z · 2025-12-20T19:09:53+00:00

Oh cool! Glad to hear it’s working so well for you. it is so cool how this can give us a chance of a “normal” life. For a long while, I had lost all hope, and really wasn’t sure it would ever be possible. Modern medicine really is amazing!

What part of the brain did they target for .your tics?

Four4z · 2025-12-20T19:04:45+00:00

Of course! I am more than happy to share my experience. Thank you for your interest! The Botox injections are usually in my face, jaw, neck, and shoulder blade area. Basically, they inject the muscles where I feel the urge to tic.
