Hi i am 16 years old and i think i may have tourettes. About a year ago in the summer i started to what looked like shivering. But i wasnt cold and my parents just told me it was my bodys way of telling me that it was cold. But i wasnt and they shrugged it off. It kept happening and once winter came around i started to do it more frequently and i thought that it was just shivering, like they said. But this summer it snowballed. Now, not only do i do the shivering, i stomp my feet, i kick my legs, i shake my arms, i jump, i twitch, i shake my head and it happens every day now. And i can somehow will them to stop but if i lose concentration it comes back with a vengence. Does this sound like tourettes to you? Please and thank you.
