About Me
I am 25 years old, i have dark brown hair w/ red/gold nat. highlights. blue eyes and Touretts sydrome, it isn't as bad as some others might have it but i do get very frustrated with it. I also have a fairly serious learning disorder related specifically to math. I have the math skills of a 5th grader. I am a step-mom (you can read all about claudia, she's awsome[most days])and pete is her father. we have been together for 7 years in late june, the time goes by so fast. O.K., back to the tics; it is mostly muscle tics but i do occasionally make small noises and recently found out the the cheeck bitting i have a habit of is another tic and considered self injorous....it doesn't hurt but, then i have been doing it so long that maybe i am desensitized to it.the cheek bitting drives pete crazy but he knows I can't help it and my step-daughter is trying to learn more about it, which makes me proud of her.

Close Tourette Syndrome & Tic Disorders
I am 25 and have Tourettes. I have been on Rittalin, Clonidine and Catapres. I have not tried anything else in the reacent years though because after the nightmare that was catapres i didn't want to take anything else. I was diagnosed at age 12 and also have ADD; diagnosed age 7. I have many physical tics and can controll it through will power alone most of the time but not always and it's hard.
Treatments
- Clonidine Not Working
- catapress did not work.In fact it put me in a fueg state all the time and I was failing classes left and right.It also made my blood pressure rise and fall like crazy.To tell the truth I don't remember much more than that, I was a complete zombie for the two months i was on it.
Close Bipolar Disorder
Hi, My little sister is Rapid Cycle Bi-polar and i don't think she is on any meds right now and it worries me. I sometimes don't hear from her for weeks at a time and then she just calls out of the blue like we talked yesterday. I know i can't be offended by these things and I am not but i wish i could just keep better track of her. I know she was miserable on the meds, they made her very overweight and she couldn't funtion half the time on or off them.
Treatments
Open Family & Friends of Bipolar
My little Sister I Rapid Cycle Bi-Polar. I worry about her i know she isn't taking any meds. she just turned 21 in feb. and well... QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE. I love sam, she is smart, really smart. but, no meds and she becomes someone I don't know sometimes. I know she was miserable on the meds; some of them made sam gain 50lbs. at least. sometimes i won't hear from her for weeks and then out of the blue, she calls and it's like we talked yesterday.
