Tics Returning after 30+ Years

Hi 👋

Longtime lurker, first time poster.

I’m 43 and was diagnosed with “mild to moderate” Tourette’s and ADHD-I when I was 11 years old. My tics were mostly facial movements, eye rolling, throat clearing and a neck muscle spasm. I endured a lot of teasing, but never was given medication. The tic related symptoms mostly disappeared after a few years.

Over the past 6 months, I’ve noticed that after a 30+ year period with mostly no tics…they’ve returned.
The primary tic that I’m experiencing is a neck and chest muscle spasm that’s to be honest…fairly exhausting.

I saw some previous posts that describe a bit of what I’m talking about. But 30 years is a really long time.

I’m curious if this is something anyone else here has experienced? I’m thinking carefully about what to do next.

Thank you for any and all support.
