The original, although not official, Tourette Syndrome web site. Please read this
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by tics involuntary, rapid, sudden movements or vocalizations that occur repeatedly in the same way. Diagnostic criteria include: Both multiple motor and one or more vocal tics present at some time, although not necessarily simultaneously; The occurrence of tics many times a day (usually in bouts) nearly every day or intermittently throughout the span of more than one year; Periodic changes in the number, frequency, type and location of the tics, and in the waxing and waning of their severity. Symptoms can sometimes disappear for weeks or months at a time; Onset before the age of 18. Although the word "involuntary" is used to describe the nature of the tics, this is not entirely accurate. It would not be true to say that people with TS have absolutely no control over their tics, as though it was some type of spasm; rather, a more appropriate term would be "compelling." People with TS feel an irresistable urge to perform their tics, much like the need to scratch a mosquito bite. Some people with TS are able to hold back their tics for up to hours at a time, but this only leads to a stronger outburst of tics once they are finally allowed to be expressed. Although the DSM-IV has recently changed the upper age of onset from 21 down to 18, the Tourette Syndrome Association Medical Advisory Board is working to have it reverted back to 21, as is listed in the DSM-III-R.

The majority of people with TS require no medication, but medication is available to help when symptoms interfere with functioning. TS medications are only able to help reduce specific symptoms. Neuroleptic and antihypertensive drugs can have long- and short-term side effects, and use of stimulants is controversial. Relaxation techniques and biofeedback may be useful in alleviating stress.

Tourette Syndrome "When I was nine-years old, an imp took up residence in me. One afternoon he prodded the left side of my face from the inside, causing my lips to purse and curl askew toward my squinting left eye. Without yet knowing why, I rapidly blinked and shrugged. I grunted. I threw back my head and squeaked while my fists smacked my bruised abdomen." - Description of the symptoms experienced by a man with Tourette Syndrome. [ Reference Contents of this Page

Tourette Syndrome
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological movement disorder that is inherited. It affects between 100,000 to 200,000 people in the United States. About 1 million Americans may have very mild symptoms of TS. A person with TS makes involuntary and repeated body movements, called "tics." The tics are not always present, but may worsen with fatigue or stress.
Why is it Called Tourette Syndrome?
One of the first written descriptions of TS was made in 1825 by French neurologist Jean-Marc Itard, who was caring for a noblewoman who developed vocal tics at the age of 7. These tics developed into screams and curses, so she was sent to live in seclusion. Sixty years after Itard wrote his description, neuropsychiatrist Georges Albert Edouard Brutus Gilles de la Tourette (born 1857; died 1904) wrote a detailed account of several patients with tics in 1885. Included in his account was the French noblewoman Itard had studied.

INTRODUCTION
Over 100 years ago, the French physician Georges Gilles de la Tourette wrote an article in which he described nine individuals who, since childhood, had suffered from involuntary movements and sounds and compulsive rituals or behaviors. In his honor, this constellation of symptoms was named Gilles de la Tourette's Syndrome. Today, we recognize that Tourette's is a spectrum disorder, with some people having a few tics and others having tics plus features of other conditions such as obsessions, compulsions, inattention, impulsivity, mood variability. On this site, you can learn about Tourette's and the other conditions that may accompany it as part of the spectrum.
Once thought to be a rare condition, recent research suggests that Tourette's is a common childhood-onset condition.

Message Board!
(A place to meet others and post your questions about TS.) On the May 22nd "Dr Laura" show,
the host, Laura Schlessinger, PhD, received a call from "Michelle," who had a dilemma because her sister wanted to exclude her own nephew with Tourette's from a family wedding celebration. Initially, Dr Laura insisted to Michelle that she should basically stay out of it "have no opinion." But, once Dr Laura heard that the child had Tourette Syndrome, she completely reversed herself and stated that Michelle had "picked the wrong sister" to support. One of her justifications was, "I'm going to come to your party and just scream, '*-you, *-you, *-you,' every five seconds and see if you want to invite me back." This insensitive response, contradictory to the "Dr Laura" show's professed family values, resulted in discussions throughout the internet and "a *lot*" of letters to the "Dr Laura" show from persons with Tourette syndrome. Her response was in direct contradiction to her first position that the caller should not take sides, and to her statements about the importance of family in weddings in the June issue of her Perspective Magazine , which said: But the fact is that it takes MORE than a ring and a date to make a marriage work.

      Tourette Syndrome And Other Tic Disorders
      Definitions of Tic Disorders
      Tics are involuntary, rapid, repetitive, and stereotyped movements of individual muscle groups. They are more easily recognized than precisely defined. Disorders involving tics generally are divided into categories according to age of onset, duration of symptoms, and the presence of vocal or phonic tics in addition to motor tics. Transient tic disorders often begin during the early school years and can occur in up to 15% of all children. Common tics include eye blinking, nose puckering, grimacing, and squinting. Transient vocalizations are less common and include various throat sounds, humming, or other noises. Childhood tics may be bizarre, such as licking the palm or poking and pinching the genitals. Transient tics last only weeks or a few months and usually are not associated with specific behavioral or school problems. They are especially noticeable with heightened excitement or fatigue. As with all tic syndromes, boys are three to four times more often afflicted than girls. While transient tics by definition do not persist for more than a year, it is not uncommon for a child to have series of transient tics over the course of several years.

    TS - Now What?
    Message Board!
    (A place to meet others and post your questions about TS.)
    Welcome to my website, dedicated to families with a new diagnosis of Tourette Syndrome. Tourette's syndrome (TS) is a neurological condition which results in involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. The more common tics include things like sniffing, coughing, throat clearing, shoulder shrugging, eye blinking, and neck stretches. Many laypersons inaccurately believe that all persons with Tourette's have coprolalia - the involuntary utterances of inappropriate phrases - although the majority of persons with TS do not. Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome - sometimes called a disorder - was once believed to be very rare, but current research shows that it is not, and that the majority of cases go undiagnosed and undetected. The purpose of this website is to help families with a new diagnosis better understand and interpret literature about TS and realize that the prognosis for children diagnosed with tics is often optimistic. If you’ve just received a diagnosis, you may be in a panic, reading everything you can and thinking "Now What?" In the event that you’re beginning to panic, I hope the many stories here will encourage you to see the brighter side. We've known about TS for about five years, and our sons are still two of the nicest, most sociable, well-liked, well-behaved, high-achieving, friendly guys around this website is to help you look beyond the doom and gloom you may find online, in support groups, and in older literature, to the optimistic prognosis that applies to most persons with Tourette's.
