it's a condition called funkitis... and I often suffer from it too... there is no known cure... we just have to hope that we never get so funky that it's fatal... but if you are half as funky as I am... I fear we're doomed...

I'm getting sick of all the misinformation about this disorder, as seen in the first response to this question!  \n\nVERY FEW TS patients ever display this symptom and it is not a requirement for a diagnosis.\n\n***steps down off soapbox****\n\nNow to address your question.  Throat clearing, sniffing and excessive blinking are all common symptoms.  Tourettes does not impair intelligence or impede learning.  It is not degenerative.  It is life long and there is not a cure.  \n\nDisclaimer: I am not a heath care giver.  I am a mom of a child with TS.  \n\nWhat you will need to do is ask your regular Dr. for a referral to a Neurologist.   Tourettes is diagnosed merely by observation and oral history from you.  Your Doc may take blood to rule out other possibilities.  We were not sure if our sons tics and vocal tremors would present at the exact time of the appointment, so we video taped him.  This was most helpful in the diagnosis. \n\nTourettes is not the worst thing in the world.  Most people who have this disorder can incorporate their tics and vocal remors into their daily movements.  There are mild cases as well as moderate to severe.  If you are only doing the things you mentioned in your question, your case is probably mild.\n\nBest wishes and I hope this helped.\n\nHere is a great book: "Front of the Class: How Tourettes Syndrome Made Me The Teacher I Never Had", by Brad Cohen

I work with a Medical Assistant whose daughter had bells palsy about ten years ago. Specialists had told her stress had a lot to do with it; the daughter (20) was very frightened too, her speech was slurred and it was almost as though she had a stroke. I'm happy to tell you that her daughter (an RN) is in perfect health, and she never had the condition return. It took about three months for it to go away completely, but never returned. God bless you.

How long did it take for you to get diagnosed after experiencing symptoms?\n\nHow has this diagnosis changed your life?\n\nAre you modifying your behaivior (diet/physical activity) to help keep it under control?

I know some one who had suffered from this problem, his was also due to M.S.. His eyes made small involuntary movements, but the condition seems to have disappeared. He is taking a virtually unknown prescription drug that is working miracles in people with M.S.and other autoimmune disorders, it is known as Low Dose Naltrexone. Doctor Bernard Bihari of New York City has been working with this drug since the 80's. and it is just now starting to get some attention. The second annual Low Dose Naltrexone Conference was held in Washington this year, you can hear the lectures off the web site. Because the monthly treatment cost is only $38 u.s. per patient don't expect any drug company involvement any time soon. A few private clinical trails have commenced world wide and the preliminary results are all quite promising. If you have not heard of this little know treatment yet. try clicking on the link below and start your research, it might be a viable option for you.\n\nAnother very important avenue you should explore when treating M.S. is neurotoxin damage both dietary and environmental. Things like monosodium glutamate, aspartame, heavy metals,food additives, preservatives, fungal and bacterial mycotoxins maybe causing or exacerbating your condition. Many M.S. sufferers have made their symptoms disappear by eliminating the above mentioned poisons from their body.\n\nBecause most packaged foods have M.S.G. (under a disguised category such as modified corn starch, spices, yeast extract, hydrolyzed vegetable protein etc.) I would stick to fresh organically raised foods, stay away from anything packaged . Drink clean distilled or R.O. water only.\n\nGet checked for heavy metal contamination, have both Hair analysis and Urinalysis through Calcium EDTA provocation. There is a possibility that you have mercury poisoning, from either vaccination, or through food consumption. If you are positive for heavy metals, then chelation therapy should be explored. Dr Gary Gordon of Tempe Arizona is the expert here. He also works with Dr Amy Yasko that specializes in patients with neurological disorders.\n\nTo check for biotoxin exposure I would recommend Dr.Shoemaker’s website listed below. On his site there is information on doing a VCS (visual contrast sensitivity) test. This doctor specializes on treating people with biotoxin-induced illness.\n\nSome final recommendations I have for you is to look into: enzyme therapy such as Wobenzym N, (it is very popular in Europe especially Germany), Vitamin D therapy and Histamine therapy \n\nAlthough the doctors mentioned below are available for phone consultations, Dr Bihari will be extremely difficult to speak with, instead I would call one of the compounding pharmacies listed on the web site and ask for names of doctors in your area that might be sending prescriptions to them.\n\nI have confidence that you can beat this thing, or put it into remission, all the best to you!

No somebody who has just gone through that and was rushed to hospital as an emergency case.  \n\nAs others have said, shortness of breath, irregular heart beat, blue tinge to lips, toes, fingers ect.\n\nIf you have any concerns go see a doctor now or it might be too late.

I have never heard of one with just those symptoms.  There must be something else going on too.

This is something I've never heard of before...but, the human body is amazing in that everything is connected. Could be. If it is true, then I would recommend acupuncture to deal with it.

http://www.mcsurvivors.com My mother has the condition. She is very into all that eastern and alternative medicene, so, she's slowly getting out of it, but it's very much real, despite what is said. There are certain other diseases I don't believe in, but MCS is very real, and can be devastating (and deadly).

Actually some patients are not able to eat food, and get their nutrion via a treatment called TPN. Check out this website:
