Tourette Syndrome?

ok, i’m 13 and a half, and i’m 99% sure that i have tourette syndrome. as i type this i am getting tics in my arm. it’s just been getting worse over time, sometimes tics happen in differnet spots not even 2 minutes apart. but i’ve told my mom and my grandma (who is a retired nurse) about it, but they insist that i’m fine. what can i do to convince them, and is there a cure???

Dear anonymous_teen, Please go to a clinic or your personal doctor…there they can accurately diagnose what your problem may be. No one can say for sure what it is untill you are tested. Don’t be thinking you have Tourettes or anything else. That’s why the doctors get the big bucks, leave the diagnoses to them. Sue….good luck
