hey Lyn,
feel free to ramble as long and as much as you'd like. That's what we're here for, to listen to each other...
I think everyone has OC tendencies...it is true OCD when it would affect us in our daily routines...
like my obtrusive thoughts. Sometimes the scratch until I have to draw blood among others.
I think a lot of TSers have the co-morbids and they usually are more troublesome than the actual TS...
the worst thing about the TS is probably getting teased....everybody gets teased but TSers probably get teased more regularly and more often...
and for me, my TS is beginning to take its toll on my in the fact that I have these tics in my joints and I think I am wearing the heckit out of them and now that I am getting old...my joints are beginning to really hurt from the tics.
So while the tics didn't hurt when I was young and younger, it is hurting me now...(joint related tics)
well, just have to live with it....
please keep yakking...I think it is all good info what you're sharing...
while I can't feel real hugs right now..I've found these cyber hugs very therapeutic.
((((((HUGS))))))
