@thistrippyhippie: if you watch the whole thing - thank you💜 this isn’t easy for me to talk about but i’ve been wanting to for quite a while now. there are many reasons my tics are much better these days, but there’s also a reason i don’t make tourettes/tic videos anymore and even edit tics out of my videos. 2021 had a huge effect on me that i did talk about at the time but the effects are still ongoing even now💜back then i was asked by writers and interviewers to talk about the ‘rise in tics’ with them for articles etc and i kept turning them down. in 2022 i was also invited on the documentary that channel 4 did and again i also turned that down and i’m very glad i did. it is just such a difficult topic for me, i still can’t quite believe everything that happened🥴 some things to note: - because of the inflammation in my body and brain, it’s likely i have functional tics aswell as tourettes. i have shown before the difference in my PANS tics VS my daily tics from tourettes. my PANS tics are more severe, and incredibly complex. - the ‘rise in tics’ during lockdown was a rise in functional tics, very different to tourettes which is a life long genetic disorder, has a different and slower/more gradual onset, different presenting tics & many other factors that are different. - functional tics ≠ fake tics - i believe my tics being so bad during 2020 & 2021 was due to my PANS, which makes sense because of the extreme amount of infection that was around at the time. (even though yes i’d had tics for years before then as shown in the video, but i have a mix of tourettes & PANS tics, both diagnosed) im really worried about saying something wrong but thank you for watching & listening to this and hopefully it answers all the questions i’ve been getting💜🧠 #tics #tourettessyndrome #tourettes #foryou #dailymail #foryoupage #functionaltics #encephalitis #ticsandtourettes #PANS
