My neurologist appointment

So my neurologist is asking me to no longer hold in any of my tics. She feels it is causing me many issues and it's why they are so bad and intense at times. She feels my stress, my anxiety, my sleep everything might improve if I stop holding them in.

I'm not really sure how she thinks this is possible. There are times where I cannot just let a outburst out or pace around like a mad man.

She also feels that if I stop holding them back they could actually be less intense and frequent.

I just don't know it's something to think about. There are a lot of it could, it might and maybes in this plan so I just don't know

I tend to agree with you that there are situations where you just can't let them out. Can you imagine letting them out at the 12-hour insurance conference, or at a Cub Scout meeting? In your own home, where people understand you, that is different.

@Poppies it's a lot to think about right now. I just don't know what to do. Joel doesn't know either and that's the hard part. He's always got the answers but right now we just don't know
