Just a reminder to my fellow ticcing people that if you have tics that cause you to hit yourself buy weightlifting gloves. They are padded on the palms. :)

On an entirely related note- do you have recommendations for things like phone cases, wrist straps for controllers that don't come with them, cases for controllers, or anything similar? I've broken like 3 xbox controllers with tics in the last year and it's getting expensive 😅
If you feel like it please share to expand reach, I'd really like to know if it's just me or if it's more common than I think.

do you know if it's possible to have tics without realizing it? I've always had this thing where I blink a lot and I can't really control it but I never thought of it as a tic
but now it's changing into squeezing my eyes shut and that definitely feels like a tic
before i state anything to this question, i will say what I always say: if you think you are experiencing tics, go to a doctor. tics can be the results of many things, not just tourette syndrome or tic disorders. some other serious conditions may present themselves as tics so if you feel you are experiencing any form of tics please seek a doctors opinion, not mine.
with that being said, while unlikely, it is possible? i guess? if its a small tic like wiggling your ears or smth you might not realize youre even doing it. but tics at the end of the day are uncontrolable and usually noticable because your body is doing something you dont have a say in. <- ALL IN MY EXPERIENCE DO NOT TAKE MY WORD OVER A DOCTORS

Looking for information on how pre-existing motor tics (specifically head-jerk) would interact with a severe head injury within an hour of the injury being sustained. Does anyone have any experience with this?
All I'm finding is information on the interactions between stimulants and tic disorders or a general 'yeah tics can get worse within a few weeks/months after severe head injuries' and that's not what I need for what I'm working on.
I specifically want to know what that looks like tic-wise in the moment to a medical professional or onlooker who can recognize tics (could it trigger tics? exacerbate them? not effect them? How would a head-movement tic be influenced by a head injury?)
I'm acting in a drill where we are given fake injuries. I am currently signed up for a serious head injury. However, last time I participated, it triggered my tics, and I didn't prepare my acting to include how that would have affected my injury. This time I want to be more prepared, especially if I need to change what injury I have due to physical acting limitations.
(Even if you can't help, reblogs/boosts are appreciated! I have until March 25th to get an answer, and my research over the past two days has come up with nothing helpful.)
#acting research#I'm completely fine xD#tics#motor tics#medical#emergency medicine#tourettes#tic disorder#tic#brain injury#head injury#traumatic brain injury#injury#research#motor tic#acting#last time when I asked about ticcing during the drill they said go ahead because that's something that can happen irl#you'll have patients with preexisting conditions and you need to know how to take care of them#last time it made it so I didn't get correct treatment :/ but half of that was likely my poor acting skills#anyways I'm being a Problem Child in the drill xDxP /lh because I'm not what they expect really#tics aren't on the list of acting things or even the 'patients with pre-existing conditions exacerbated by the incident' list#which ig goes both ways because it means my exacerbated pre-existing condition gets added to an acted injury#meaning it's a level of complexity you can see in real life but the drill otherwise does not have#but at the same time it means they might not be prepared to deal with it (good for them to find out ig?)#anyways this time I want to act it right so I get proper treatment in the drill#and am not having a broken bone and internal bleeding ignored because the tics are more obvious and more easily dismissed#(fake injuries btw it was for the drill)#(but still bothersome)#(I had declining vitals cards and didn't get anything done about them :P so idk how much was my acting and how much was them)#or at least this way I'll know it's not my acting causing any negligence

different kinds of tics
Tics can divided into few categories: simple/complex and motor/vocal.
Motor tics are movements. Examples: blinking, shoulder shrugging, making faces or gestures, etc.
Vocal tics are sounds. Examples: meowing, barking, saying words or sentences, whistling, etc.
sometimes it can be hard to differentiate between them. I have a tic in which i click my tongue. It is a movement, but there is also a sound to it. I'm not sure whether it's the movement or the sound that makes the pre-tic tension go away.
Complex tics involve a lot of different muscles. They can appear as something done intentionally, but they are never intentional. Examples: saying words or frazes, making gestures, jumping, grimacing, etc
Simple tics are quick, and, well, simple. Examples: winking of an eye, tensing of a specific muscle, sniffing, simple "woo", or a similar sound, etc
Different types of tics can feel very different. They may alleviate the pre-tic tension in different ways. For example i need to hear the whistle in order for the tension to disappear, but I don't need to hear my meowing for the tension to go away.
I may not even notice some of my simple motor tics. but sometimes there is a big cumulation of them and it's awful. Some of the more complex ones feel like i'm being controlled by some alien life force or sth. And some of my complex tics are chill, and idc. It really depends on the day, on what I'm doing and what my tics are at the moment.

the last two paragraphs are based purely on my own experiences. Other people with tics will probably experience things differently.

remind that no matter how 'severe' or 'mild' your tics are, its normal for them to sometimes be worse and other times barely noticeable!
its apart of the tics/tourettes phenomenon called "waxing and waning" and if anything, should make you feel more validated in your diagnosis <3

Someone came up to me yesterday and asked if I have Tourette's, and then proceeded to explain how they have no filter and that it'd be great to have Tourette's as an excuse for all of the random things they say.
This is a reminder that Tourette's is INVOLUNTARY and is NOT just speaking tics. It is PAINFUL self-injury tics, muscle and joint pain, repetitive strain injury, not being able to cook, not being able to drive, feeling excluded from spaces, being told off something you can't stop, being glared at, and more.

hate hate hate how people say "I wish I had tourettes so I could do/say obscene things and not get in trouble" like newsflash everything has consequences, we live in a society, please work on your impulse control or anger or sense of humour or whatever instead of wishing that you had an incurable neurological disorder

Stan Pines living in a house with three people with tics (tourettes and chronic tic disorder) as the only person without tics. Then McGucket starts coming around more as Ford and him rebuild their friendship and Stan thinks "finally someone else without tics"... then he finds out Fiddleford developed tics as a result from the memory gun

I’m making a post about Tourette’s for people that write for toby first things first. A common mistake that I have already pointed out but still see people making twitches are not tics twitches a caused from stress and poor diet etc while tics are not. Also as a person who had struggled with both they feel completely different I can feel tics coming up and twitches go almost unnoticed. And about the swearing part only about 10% of people with Tourette’s having swearing tics. So depending on how hard you write for Toby’s Tourette’s please keep that in mind. I am aware that his creator has confirmed he had ‘severe’ Tourette’s but that was clearly not shown in his story or any kind of other imagine we got from him so…..and please when you write about him and he has a tic attack don’t make y/n or whatever character hold him during it. yes it can calm one down but same goes for the seizure rules tics cannot be prevented by holding the body.
oh and some other facts: tics can trigger tics it’s pretty common me and my best friend both have tics and both get triggered of each other and also things like small noises can trigger tics. Most people can also feeling tics as a sort of tingling feeling creeping up the back of your neck (that’s the best description I have heard someone describe it) most tics also get triggered from sudden temperature changes
those last few sentences are from mine and my friend’s experiences :) I thought it’d put it in there too since it’s common but everyone is different with their tics
btw before anything no I do not have Tourette’s although I do have a tic disorder (also different things but won’t get into that)
Thanks for reading! Please spread this so people won’t make mistakes
(also this is not proof read and I’m dyslexic so if any typos don’t be surprised)

i think Sonic the Hedgehog should have Tourettes for two reasons:
People with it may have quicker than average reaction times and he's the Fastest Thing Alive
I have it and he should suffer with me
