I found a thing I wrote about having #tourettes..
https://www.examulator.com/marcus/tourettes.html
Oddly I sometimes forget I have it. It never stops being strange.

My brain...
...Is complicated.
So I have finally pieced the whole thing together and I am essentially the person they point to for #neuroscience curiosity.
I have:
#epilepsy (probably, temporal seizures, working diagnosis).
#tourettes #adhd #autism #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #cptsd and #synesthesia.Oh and brain damage.
If someone wants to pay me to run a bunch of tests...

Agent Orange proving daily he's a spiteful, petty little loser.
People go nuts when a man with Tourette's blurts out a racial slur during a British awards show, but for the President of the US, any hateful comment (ideally laced within lies) is just par for the course.

@michellemeetsmedia, Black Royalty, shared the text and video below.
Apparently John Davidson also hurled racial slurs at #WunmiMosaku when she won her award, but they were edited out

They're called 'Intrusive Thoughts' because you don't want them, that 'Free Will' or 'Consciousness' thing the AI creeps completely ignore because it's too vague and subjective for them.

CW: Baftas / Tourettes / racism: excellent post from Ijeoma Oluo.
In particular about the burden placed on Black people to respond gracefully when racist stuff happens in public - not so much about Tourettes in particular, though a little about that too.
"Every Black person I know has a story of just trying to get through their day when some racist shit pops up. Every Black person I know has to regularly calculate their safety in those moments and figure out their next move. And every Black person I know is punished for whichever way they choose to react. If they are openly angry then they are dangerous, or militant, overreacting, or lacking empathy for the person who has just harmed them. If they react with kindness or a desire to educate then they are forced to carry the emotions of the person who has just harmed them. If they decide to ignore it then they are told by others that it’s obvious by their reaction that this harm is acceptable and it will continue in with gusto.
"These moments happen at work, on the street, in the grocery store. And they apparently also happen to our most celebrated actors onstage in front of an audience of millions. And when it happens, with the cameras rolling, they will have to assess their safety, gather their emotions, and continue on. Customers are waiting."

@semicolonexpected, an asian woman, shared the link and image below. I mention that she's asian bc so few asians will stand up alongside Black People so it's good for others and I to hear that some do.
Why did BAFTA place John Davidson so close to the mic?

The BBC is too White, and that's why it handles things like this very badly.
Censoring "Free Palestine" but not the racial slur was a CHOICE

How much would you like to bet that if I had #Tourettes and I'm sitting in an audience at an award show and I shout 'FUCKABLE ZADDY!' when Cillian Murphy gets to the podium , security will carry me out, one on each arm?!
And I'll bet a bucket full of chips with 🇧🇪mayonnaise that not only would it be bleeped, but they're certainly not going to let me say that shit 3 times !!

People can get angry with me if they want!
I understand it's involuntary.
But you have to have the thought first before it involuntarily comes out of your mouth.
#AlanCumming wasn't subjected to shouts of 'POOF' Women were not subjected to being shouted at and called the b- word.
#Tourettes or no Tourettes. People are not born to shout bigoted slurs.
Also, if he knew that his Tourettes made him likely to say stuff like that, he should've removed himself or stayed home and used Zoom for his acceptance speech.
After centuries of hate, violent atrocities and anti- black shenanigans, why should any1 from the African diaspora have to put up with this nonsense.

🧵I feel in my bones a resurgence of people acting like they know how Tourette Syndrome works, resulting in accusations of faking, and moralizing of tics.

I thought this video was really good and gave informed, intersectional, & compassionate perspectives.
We mustn’t excuse racism or ableism. Both are truly harmful.

My #tics related to severe #tourettes have changed since I stopped using #GabAPentin as a way to manage them.
Before they were subtle, but almost never stopped as they were impossible to fully satisfy. They were smaller movements or twitches that were very frequently.
I switched to using a higher dose of #Guanfacine which is an #adhd and tic specific medication, and now they come in waves and are more forceful, and harder to contain.
But I can actually have some peace.

I still don't know why anyone does #meth after getting drugged with it for an extended period at a "sober living" house where I had never been less sober.
I was absolutely terrified of everyone and paranoid everything was trying to kill me.
Then started hearing and seeing stuff too.
I had 0 fun or euphoria. Just pure terror, sleep deprivation and extreme delusional thinking/paranoid behavior.
Don't do stimulants if you have #tourettes and #adhd it won't get you high.
-
Something I always wondered about people with #tourettes and #ticdisorders:
We're almost always empaths.
The part of our brain - the #prefrontalcortex - responsible for #empathy is slightly larger than usual while the part of our brain in our #basalganglia regulating motor planning/control, has faulty neuro-pathways and shrunken parts.
More connections to the PFC as an adaptation, resulting in glitchy motor controls but perhaps very deep emotions.

I really do have a hell of a combination to ensure my head hurts a lot.
1. I have #tourettes which comorbid comes with #migraine like headaches that are caused by suppression of #tics if I do it too much, essentially my nervous system overloading.
2. Constant neck/shoulder strain from dystonic tics that make me subconsciously tense my shoulders.
3. #visualsnowsyndrome which has actual migraines as an extremely common comorbid condition.
Where's my ibuprofen...

I just discovered I have a new condition:
Here I thought everyone saw that way, like TV static across everything but RGB.
So far we are up to:
#tourettes #adhd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #cptsd #asthma #insomnia facial neuralgia, peripheral neuralgia, #synesthesia, just being plain eccentric, and now visual snow syndrome.
Whatever made my soul must have hit the randomizer.
-
I don't have insulting vocal #tics often, but they are possible if I'm offended.
Usually they're random phrases I repeat, and things in my head that slip out before I can stop.
A guy walking by with a few people mocked one of my hand/arm movements as he passed me thinking he was out of sight, and I couldn't hear him act "retarded".
I spun around and said "You should walk into traffic while you're acting stupid before I MAKE YOU,".
The whole group shut up and kept walking.
-
I can feel my #nervoussystem in a literal way.
I get #tics in every muscle group, and they move like a wave and bounce between the left and right half of my body. My main nerves almost feel like a road way they travel through, and if I resist it's like a cord literally tugs through my body, and becomes painful after a while.
I can feel how your brain halves control the opposite side, as I get a sensation inside my skull that travels to the other side of my body.

Weird #tourettes moment of the day part FOUR-
One #symptom I have is my speech center NEVER STOPS. Even alone. I'll have whole-ass conversations with myself, you don't even really need to be here.
It also likes to try to throw ALL OF THE WORDS OUT AT ONCE, I have a bit of a stutter, and will try to say a thousand words together.
Someone asked me how I was, I said - "I'm oh just and good just great living the dream, how's yooer... Fuck,".
"That just made my day, thanks xD,".
-
My severe #claustrophobia is caused by #cptsd as prisoners got better treatment than I did as a kid.
#tourettes causes a lot of pain if you don't understand how to manage it. I suppressed my tics all the time out of shame, and fear from watching how my dad treated my mother. If you do that all the time, you're in immense pain.
He thought I was faking so he took everything from me. I was alone, with nothing to do, and could never leave either.

I don't look my best.
My #health has been terrible, and I am still in pain after almost dying like a week ago, but here is my #scoopz account if y'all would like to see some more garbage #politics rants!

I plan on using it for all of my content. You can post longer #videos than #clapper, and I will post what does well on #youtube too.
Don't get #tourettes and have a seizure. It'll mess your muscles up for weeks. Can't do much else.
May as well #rant !

I just found out that the doctor I had at Soul Housing was lying to me about being on the max dose of #GabAPentin for some reason.
I was taking 1800 mg a day. Which is a lot. But when you have the kind of nerve damage, and #tourettes motor tics I do, it turns out you can take more if needed.
I was in genuine pain all the time from muscle spasms and cramps. They REFUSED to up it, or change it.
I now take 2400 divided into 3 doses.
I feel MUCH better.
Also a bit high xD

It only took one of the longest years to figure out support systems in #losangeles but I finally found a place I feel safe.
It was a living nightmare. It almost doesn't seem real.
I feel like I just got home from a warzone and silence scares me, and racing memories of everything awful that occurred replay constantly as my #ptsd worsened as a result.
#tourettes #obsessivecompulsivedisorder and severe #adhd are well coped.
Fear or panic is what kills me and drains my soul.

The older I get, the more #medicine I have.
List of my daily meds-
600 MG #GabAPentin x3 for seizures, #tourettes tic calming, muscle spasms, nerve damage, and sleep.
15 MG #buspirone x3 for severe #ptsd and panic/anxiety disorders.
Albuterol for #asthma.
#Guanfacine for #adhd and could help other issues, new.
#hydroxizine for sleep.
#flonase for nose
I realize now I should have had these 20+ years ago, and always had these issues.
