I wish to thank the person who suggested sticking one's head into the freezer for a few seconds as a temporary cure for Tourette's. My beloved husband, who is 40, is starting to show mild symptoms of Tourette's - like opening and shutting his mouth rapidly and clicking his teeth. The remedy suggested is as simple as a remedy can ever get, and I hope to suggest it to him the next time his symptoms show up. Thank you!Replied By Screename (Plano, Tx) on 11/10/2009
Just a thought: I noticed under the ailment Anxiety the remedy of a cold shower that must include the head. I wonder if a daily cold hair wash in the sink would suffice to forestall Tourette's symptoms--if these two ailments, Tourette's and anxiety, have some relationship. -?Replied By Gary (Sasolburg, South Africa) on 01/27/2013
Hello thanks for that informaitoin I was diagnosed with ts [Tourette's Syndrome] when I was 5 years old im 19 now and I have always found that my tics (motor and vocal) have always been less in the winter but could not explain why until now and I have found that your trick about the freezer really works wonders thank you very muchReplied By Michael (Ny) on 06/20/2017
I am sooo glad I came across your post here. I've been sticking my head in my freezer for almost 2 weeks now, and I have just about completely stopped twitching and jerking my head altogether! Thank you sooo much!!!
