Me too, teddy! (Re ravens)
1. I have had my job for 21 years. I can retire in 2025 as far as meeting the rule of 80. And i have a decent retirement account.
2. I no longer take medication for my Tourette's and haven’t done so in 25 years...except for occasional marijuana because that helps my urge to tic and prolly my comorbid OCD. My tics like so many others wax and wane and change over time but my biggest thing was always a violent upper body shake and a huge shout or yell or scream. I do not experience copralalia like the media tends to associate with TS. But echolalia and palilalia, YES. I annoy my sister. I rock back and forth a lot and I cannot freaking wait to get my reading chair like I have been wanting because not only can I use it to read comfortably, I can use it to put headphones on and rock back and forth with my eyes closed to music. It soothes me, and I won't feel that electrical urge to tic as much. Imagine that feeling you get that shudders through your body right before you sneeze. Yeah tic premonitions are like that but with tics not sneezes.
