What tourettes syndrome really is...
Everybody thinks that Tourette's syndrome is just people getting angry for no reason and shouting out swear words.
But guess what? It's not. Not at all.
Tourette's syndrome is a mental disorder, usually diagnosed in an individual before their eighteenth birthday. It consists of uncontrollable motor movements and muscle spasms/jerks. The most common symptoms of Tourette's syndrome are eye blinking, clearing of the throat, sniffing, and small things like that. They can include spasms of the limbs as well.
Only 10% of all people affected by Tourette's have problems with shouting obscenities or making profane gestures. And even for those few rare cases, it's not out of "rage" at all. It's simply because they can't control it. It's like breathing. You can't control it, it's not your fault, and there is absolutely nothing you can do.
Everybody makes fun of Tourette's as f it's optional. Like its some kind of anger issue or something. Because thats the way Hollywood and film and TV have made it out to be, and people, though I'm sure they aren't trying to be hurtful, make jokes about the rare group of people afflicted who shout profanity against their own will.
Don't believe me? Im fourteen years old and I have Tourette's. I'm constantly picked on and made fun of and told I have anger issues even though never in my life have I shouted one profanity. I blink my eyes, clear my throat, lick my lips until they're raw and I have a rash all over my mouth, and scrunch up my nose as well as making over facial contortions.
I want everybody to be aware of what this really is. I want people to understand what this really is, and I want to end all the bullying and prejudice about Tourette's syndrome.
And that's exactly what I'm going to do.
Tourette angry ? Why. You must be mixing up things. They are not angry, they are compusive in what they say, not angry. I know many in my town, none is an angry person ever. In or out of a fit.
Hi my name is Joe I have had tr since I was 7 been made fun of, embarrassed and ** myself. I often would cuss God and think thoughts of hurting the ones i truely love the most when i would never do in the first place.maybe I do it to hurt myself for having this.every morning I wake up with anxiety or he'll. If any one would like to talk my cell is 812-329-9254.
I HAVE 3 GRANDSONS WHO HAVE IT. ONE OF THEM WE WERE AFRAID HE WAS GOING TO JAB HIMSELF WITH HIS FORK WHILE HE WAS EATING. IT HAPPENED AROUND 8-9 YEARS OLD FOR ALL 3. LOOK UP DR JOEL WALLACH. HE HAD IT AS A CHILD & HIS MOM TOOK HIM TO AN EYE DOCTOR BECAUSE HIS EYES KEPT TWITCHING. EYE DR SAID IT'S HIS EYE LASHES CURVING INTO HIS EYEBALL MAKING THEM ITCH ETC. WELL HE KNEW THAT WASN'T IT. AS A CHILD, 10 YEARS OR SO OLD, EVEN HE KNEW THAT WASN'T WHAT WAS WRONG. HE STARTED TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG HIMSELF. HE GOT TIRED OF THE KIDS SAYING HE WAS POSESSED. SO HE FOUND AN OLD BOOK FROM THE NURSE'S OFFICE AT HIS SCHOOL & BEGAN TO READ ABOUT VITAMINS & MINERALS. YOU'D HAVE TO LOOK HIM UP & READ ON IT. I BELIEVE HE SAID HE HAD A DEFICIENCY IN CALCIUM, & MAYBE IT WAS VITAMIN B AS WELL. ONE OF HIS CHORES IN THE MORNING WAS FEEDING THE CALVES BEFORE HE WENT OFF TO SCHOOL. SO HE BEGAN TO LOOK ONTO THE CALVES FOOD & SEE HOW MUCH MORE WE GIVE OUR CATTLE & DON'T TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES. HE SAID IF I HAVE A CALCIUM DEFICIENCY I'LL JUST EAT SOME OF THESE PELLETS THE CALVES EAT. SO HE STARTED EATING THE CALVES PELLETS, GETTING HIMSELF A BOWLFUL OF PELLETS TO EAT BEFORE BREAKFAST & GIVING THE CHICKENS HIS CEREAL. WITHIN A FEW DAYS HE NOTICED IMPROVEMENT IN HIS TOURETTES. HE SAID HE CURED HIMSELF WITHIN' DAYS OF EATING WHAT HIS BODY WAS NEEDING. HE SAYS HE BELIEVED IT WAS GOD SHOWING HIM WHAT TO DO. HE HAS DONE STUDIES ON VITAMINS & MINERALS EVER SINCE. HE EVEN SAID HE FOUND A CURE FOR JERRY LEWIS' KIDS & WHEN JERRY TOLD THE PEOPLE ABOUT IT THEY FIRED HIM. HE DOESN'T DO THE JERRY LEWIS MARATHON ANYMORE. YOU'D HAVE TO READ ABOUT HIM TO GET ALL THE FACTS. I'M JUST GOING BY WHAT I REMEMBERED. I BELIEVE HIM THOUGH. I DO KNOW I HAVE LOST 8 SIBLINGS TO CANCER & WHEN I ASKED GOD WHY HE TOLD ME IT'S THE WAY OUR FOOD IS PROCESSED.
Please refrain from writing in all caps. Nothing is that urgent. Stop blinding us with that **, **!
^This. Thank you!
Ive had tourettes since I was seven years old! I'm now 42. i experienced most of what you described. I would get into fights because of my tourettes at school cause kids would tease me. They would tease then take off in a full sprint immidiatly after cause they knew I may chase after them cause I was fast. Even adults are cruel ! My Music teacher in Elementary school made a crack at me and most the class laughed! When I was diagnosed with it and put on meds it just made me very tired a lot so my Mom took me of the meds.
Continued as I got older I learned to deal with it better . I could control my tics better and even talk about it. Instead of ignore irbor lash out on people who would try and make a joke about it or ask me about it. I thought it could have been demos as well . Now i not sure. I prayed and had people pray for me and well I still have it. I not saying that praying will not work . I believe God can heal anyone! God bless you all and pray for those who suffer from tourettes.
Continued u believe my tourettes is also inherited or passed down from generations. I have a few people in my family including my Father who have tourettes.
I believe its a demon, it sounds very much like a demonic possession. Go to a church and have the preachers put their hands on u and try to expell the demon. See if that works. It seriously seems like a demonic possession.
How would a preachers hands help the situation?
I highly doubt it's demonic possession....not that I'm saying possession doesn't exist......I believe it does but not in this case
Seems like you suffer from a stupidity possession. Dumb **! No such things as demons, bruh!
Your an ** hole
Thanks so much for this post. I am an evangelist and tonight a young woman with this condition came into our group and many people left. It was hard for me to teach but I kept on and treated her with respect and love.
At the end of the service she thanked me in front of the entire group and said that she had been turned away from churches and felt "love" at our church.
I agree that there are some "demonic" characteristics such as cussing and throwing the bible around but until I learn more I am going to continue to be kind and show love to this person.
I have it too and it's really hard especially when your overweight.
Trust me, although I have never suffered from it myself, my brother suffers from it, and he's been through everything you have. You're not alone! And although your tourettes may not be great, if you change your attitude towards it, it can be a source of good and not negativity. I was bullied to high ** when I was 14, but trust me, you'll get over that as well. Everyone does it when you're 14, soon as you get older people accept you for who you are, stop being so mean and get on with life! So, wait it out, stay strong and go with your own crowd.
I think the root of Tourette's syndrome (so-called) is not mental, but spiritual; it definitely does affect the mind though. If you read the Bible with any frequency at all, you'll come across many cases of demonic possession (Tourette's is one of the 'milder' manifestations of this oppression/possession). We should not be mocking any person with any kind of affliction. In this case, believers have the authority to 'cast out demons'. Get in touch with someone who has this gift, and ask them if they can help you.

I don't have Tourettes because a demon has possessed me. What's wrong with you? It's a neurogical disorder. God gave me this disorder Himself. I don't know why because it was His choice. Maybe He wants me to experience a hardship that will bring me closer to Him. But I am a Christian, believe me, and I love our God. Don't you ever DARE suggest to me that I've been "possessed."
Tourettes syndrome is not the tragedy. Your ignorance and the ignorance of others. THAT is the tragedy.
I don't think that the person above was trying to personally attack you, but rather offer advice.
Have you ever personally encountered a demon or a demon possessed person? It is very much like tourettes in some cases. If you are a true believer, you will understand that God can affect our physical bodies just as the devil can. If God can heal cancerous tumors and cells, why couldn't the devil do the opposite and cause these afflictions? Neurological disorders are no different.
I do not know everything there is to know, but I am positive that God can heal all wounds; even neurological. If for nothing more than a hopeless attempt to you, I still suggest you ask God to reveal to you if any demons are attached to you. Rebuke them in Jesus name, and ask that your bodied be cleansed and made sacred in the blood of the lamb. Worse case scenario it can do no harm, and best case, you rid yourself of the demons attached to you physically causing this disorder.
I wish you all the best, and truly with all of my heart, I pray that you may be healed.

this girl was healed of her tourettes after a healing prayer group "commanded her tourettes to leave" and prayed over her relentlessly. they commanded that the demons, aka her tourettes, be cast out. it worked.
God doesn't give people sickgess
