I am a 25 year old female and I developed motor Tics about 4 months ago they first started only at night and by 3 days it started doing it in the day time. It affect my whole body. It also happens in my sleep as my husband is a light sleeper and I woke up sitting up. When it gets real bad my back arches up and i cannot control these I can hold them back for a few seconds but I feel tense and uncomfortable.
The MRI came out normal other then a cyst that was there when i was born in the nasal region. I was on cipralex Anti-depressant but I am now been off it for a month. Blood work came out normal and had a test for presence of copper which also came back normal.
About a month ago i developed tremors mainly in legs and right hand. but they never happen when the tics do. I started falling for no reason. for about two weeks that seemed to have gone away but i am finding i am wobbly. I have been to a neurologist that is saying its from unresolved stress, I am just wondering if that could be right as i didn't feel stressed out.
The tics gets better and then worse but never goes away. ???
Then the Dr's said could be a viirule infection? but is that possible and not pass it on to my family?
Is there any other tests that you would recommend?
Thanks for any advice you can give me
