My little angel has TS. NO ONE will see her because she is 8 and to young for this clinic or that or the insurance dont take this doctor or that!! I am sooo frustrated. We got her to see a therapist and the therapist sees a freak that has been molested because my TS girl touches herself a lot. So instead of treating her for TS, she is being dragged through the abuse road! the school treats her like she is a monster because she is sometimes vocal and she twitches. I just need a neurologist to see her for 5 minutes!!!! I dont know how much longer this child can go on without loosing her mind!!! It is so sad, she lost all her friends too!
For the person who just left the comment above, please know someone out there with a TS kid supports you! I am sooooooooooooo sorry! Hang in! Find a church group or temple or any group to support you from a spiritual place where twitches and tics have no power over love. THEN find a doc from a place of strength.
