If you get a tic try to use rubbing alcohol our put some thing hot on its body the shock will make it release its bite. Then pull it off. To avoid them there are some bug repellents that they will shy from.

No.  That would be a concern for someone with photosensitive epilepsy.  Tourettes is not affected by using games or computers.

Not everyone who has Tourette Syndrome swears.  According to the Tourette Syndrome Association, only 10% of sufferers utter obscenities.  A person with Tourette's might clap, laugh, repeat certain words, etc.\n\nTourette Syndrome "is a neurological or neurochemical disorder characterized by tics: involuntary, rapid, sudden movements or vocalizations that occur repeatedly in the same way."

Oh please to some of the answers you recd.\nTwitches can be caused by a habit of movement. She may have a nervous tic/twitch which is caused by misfiring of a nerve.  \nIf she had tourette's she'd do more than have a twitching mouth, and if she were on drugs she'd be more obvious.\nProbably a tic. Try not to stare.

I understand where you are coming from.  My son has Tourettes also.  But you need to understand that you don't need to do things (go to prom, etc) to impress others.  You are under no obligation to prove anything to anyone else.  You just need to be the best "you" that you can be.  \n\nAnyone who does not accept you for the PERSON that you are (NOT as a girl with TS) is not worth hanging around with. \n\nBest wishes and take care.

I'm guessing you're a teenager...can be rough being different and trying to fit in...\n\nMy son had tourette's (mild), and had facial tics.  His little sister tried once to stick up for him when kids on the bus asked why he acted so weird....she told them he couldn't help it, he had a disease...OUCH!  She was too little to explain.\n\nThere are people who will take the time to get to know you, and how you speak won't matter.  To the ones who just don't understand, maybe just tell them you have trouble with muscle control that makes it hard to say some words.  To the ones who make fun.....someday they'll grow up, try to ignore them.\n\nGod bless, sugar

Unfortunately, they are persistent and very hard to kill.  You will have to treat everyone in the house, including yourself, and every room in the house and your automobiles.  You have to wash her hair with the lice killing shampoo (don't use more than one a week or you can damage her scalp).  Very slowly and deliberately comb through her entire head of hair to remove bugs and nits.  Either rinse the comb with water and wash everything down the drain between sections or use paper towels to clean the comb and then seal the paper towels in a ziploc bag.  Remove all bed linens and replace with clean ones.  All bed linens and clothes must be washed in hot water (at least 130 degrees or hotter and dried in dryer with hottest setting for at least 30-45 minutes.  Use bleach on anything that will allow it.  Put all pillows in the dryer for at least 30-45 minutes (every day for the next two weeks).  Soak all brushes and combs in alcohol when not in use (for the next two weeks or longer).  Vacuum your entire house, matresses and furniture and remove the vacuum cleaner bag, seal it in a ziploc bag if possible and dispose of it in the outside trash can.  Comb through hair daily with lice comb to make sure you get out all of the nits, and retreat after a week.  Additionally, they have a devise called a "Robi-Comb" which you can use in between treatments and periodically to make sure they don't ever come back.\n\nI know it sounds like a lot to do, but that is what it takes to totally eradicate the little buggers.  They are relentless.  I wouldn't freak out too much.  It doesn't mean your child is dirty.  Quite the contrary.  The CDC in Atlanta stated that the cleanest children usually get it worse because the lice need clean, dry hair to attach the eggs (nits) to.  I wouldn't worry too much, it is quite a common problem with youngsters.\n\nGood Luck!

if you mean tourette syndrom, here are some information to what it is.\nTourette syndrome (TS) is named for the French doctor Georges Gilles de la Tourette, who first described the condition in 1885. It is a genetic condition, that's either inherited (passed on from parent to child) or happens during development in the womb. Doctors and scientists don't know the exact cause of TS, but some research suggests that it occurs when there's a problem with how nerves communicate in the brain. Neurotransmitters - chemicals in the brain that carry nerve signals from cell to cell - may play a role in TS. Tourette syndrome is not contagious.\n\nSymptoms of Tourette syndrome usually emerge in childhood and in the teenage years. TS isn't common - only one person in every 1,000 to 2,000 people has the condition.\n\nTo be diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, a person must have several different types of tics - specifically, multiple motor tics and at least one vocal tic.

Use a shampoo with Tea Tree Oil in it - always...\nThis should reduce risk if re-infestation.\nWhen head lice are found, it's important that everyone in the household decontaminates at the same time - it doesn't work if one of you leaves it till next week!

Go to doc and have it frozen off.  You can do it yourself, there is a product that will do the same thing.

My son has mild Tourette. It really bothers me that everyone thinks it's a "cursing disease." (Thanks so much, LA Law and Ally McBeal). Less than 10% of people with TS have copralalia.  \n\nAnther misconception that I find upsetting: that most kids with TS exhibit violent behavior (a myth spread by some MOMS of kids with TS and behavior problems--some have it, and some don't, but please don't tell people they ALL do!!)\n\nAlso, it's very hard for people to understand that the condition ebbs and flows. Not just the tics, but the ADHD and obsessive-compulsive symptoms that tend to come with it. Just because a child's symptoms were mild one day doesn't mean that he can control them on another day.

Please don't try getting rid of them at home - go to a doctor instead.\n\nFor a trained professional it's a very quick and simple procedure and he/she can use the correct implements and ensure the affected area is sterilized and sutured if needs be.\n\nRemoving a skin tag at home can invite all sorts of problems.\n\nDon't worry about the procedure at the doctors - it's quick, easy and painless.

That the person with Tourettes is just another person, who deserves respect just like everybody else. That they can learn and function in society like everybody else, but with a little extra flair! My son has an IQ of 124, is artistically gifted and funny and handsome. I am so proud he is my son. \n\nIt is a neurobiologic disorder in the brain that causes involuntary vocal tremors and tics. It is migratory (ie: not usually the same tics all the time, they change). It is lifelong and there is not a cure yet. \n\nThere are medications that can lessen the impact of the tics and make them less noticeable. It takes time and patience to find the right combination, depending upon the severity of the Tourettes. My son has Tourettes, accompanied by OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and ADHD. It is not uncommon to have Tourettes plus these conditions, or even others.\n\nThere has been a breakthrough at Harvard (see link below, click on Genetic Breakthrough) which is cause for hope.

SEE A PEDIATRICIAN! thast's first of all, also you may want to start keeping a journal of everything worn, eaten and done by him. Include what you washed the clothes in, how the food was prepared, where he goes, anything you can think of....Record also when he gets the hives, then show it to your pediatrician, and this will help them figure out what's wrong faster, b/c each time a reaction occurs it gets worse.
