spazzy cat!

FECK! Tourettes sucks!

i have a vocal tic and a few complex motor tics... i thought id make a video of what it looks like

vocal tic
- sniffing... how gross! there is no reason to sniff, it just happens

motor tics
- i have a few, most are down the right side of my body. the facial tics are the most obvious, my head turns to one size, my eyes go to the side, they also blink heaps or close completely.
-my right arm tics constantly, the muscles contract  and force my arm up. My fingers curl and spasm. (i call this a dinosaur tic because i feel like i look like one lol RAWRRRRRRRR)
-my back muscles  tense and my shoulder clicks
- the calf muscle tenses and gets painful 'knots'
-my joints constantly crack and pop
It ALWAYS hurts....

heres a video of a 'mild' tic attack, when they get bad i double over in pain, when they are good its mainly slight trembles and movements

how i feel when i tic....
