developed tics ? mri is normal
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

Answers:
It's important that you see the neurologist again for a follow-up visit. If the neurologist thinks this is due to stress, you should be referred to a psychiatrist to have your stress and mental well-being evaluated. I'm glad the MRI was normal, and it looks like you've been examined by the proper specialists so I'm afraid there's not much I can add over the Internet. Remember that you can always get a second opinion from another doctor if you feel that your problem has not been satisfactorily solved. Keep us posted.I have been seen by a physicartrist and she doesnt believe that is what is causing this. as shes never in 25 years heard of depression and stress causing this,, and I dont feel stressed, finally my reg dr put me on meds for tourettes fluphenazine which calmed them down alot.
I am seeing another neurologist that my 1st one was consulting with but not sure, All i have been told these tics will go away for good. I also have an uncle that was doing the same thing and I was told that didnt matter. my father has tics in his thumb thats it but his brother my uncle was worse,
Thanks for replying
