Hi. My name is Jolene, I'm almost 65, and have had Tourettes since the age of 10. I was recently diagnosed with Tardive Dyskenesia due to 45 years of Tourette meds, a necessary evil. My tics suddenly got worse, and worse, and worse. Then the daily headaches began - different areas of the head affected, different kinds of pain, different degrees of pain - always constant, always right there. The Doctors are unsure as to whether the tics and headaches are related. I just learned today on here of a disease called New Daily Persistent Headaches or NDPH. I have numerous serious health conditions and take a lot of meds. I was given 30 Vicodin with the Dr's warning to "make it last, that's all I'm giving you." I hope to find something better than Tylenol and cbd cream soon, especially now that my headaches might have a name. Thank you for welcoming me and I feel blessed to be here.
