In this challenging world, Tourette's syndrome is like a bomb, silently invading many families and changing the trajectory of their lives. Today, I would like to share with you the story of a 14-year-old boy with Tourette's syndrome, which is full of hope and courage and shows us the hardships and tenacity of overcoming Tourette's syndrome.
The boy's name is Xiao Ming, and he has always been a lively and curious child. However, when he was 5 years old, fate played a cruel joke on him. Xiao Ming's face began to twitch involuntarily, and his hands and feet became inflexible, which seriously affected his daily life. His academic Xi grades plummeted, and he became a "weirdo" in the eyes of his classmates from a student with excellent character and learning. Because of the time that has passed, I can't remember many things when I was a child. What impressed me most was that my mother took me from hospital to hospital. Then it is to take all kinds of medicines and take intravenous drips. In many cases, there are more than 10 pills of Western medicine alone. There is also a traditional Chinese medicine that needs to be decocted, and it is too bitter to drink and vomit all the time. I still remember when I took the medicine, my mental state was very bad, and the teacher didn't even let me attend physical education class. Before I was in the second grade of elementary school, I would definitely go to the hospital every month or two.
I also remember a time when I had particularly bad tics. The hands and feet are constantly moving, which has already affected other students' classes. The teacher called my mom to school and suggested that I take a leave of absence**, and my mom kept apologizing, which I still remember deeply. I usually take leave to go to the hospital, and sometimes I will take many days off when I go out of the province. It's not good that my Xi grades are not bad, and I can keep up when I take a leave of absence, otherwise I guess I will definitely be forced to suspend my studies.
That was my first hospitalization and the first time I felt helpless and alone. The doctors in the hospital were very busy, and they told my mom that I needed a full check-up and **. So, I started a long ** journey.
In the face of such a change, the parents felt helpless and confused as if they had fallen into the abyss. After a brief period of confusion, my parents began to seek medical attention. They visited several hospitals and eventually found an experienced doctor. After a professional diagnosis, he was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome. Doctors recommend a comprehensive** approach, including medications**, psychological counselling, and behavioural**.
Every morning, ** would come and give me all sorts of injections, including some medications to help me control my tics. YesAfter that, I will be sent for various tests, such as ECG, EEG, etc. These tests scared me because I didn't understand what they were or why I was doing them.
In the hospital, I could only talk to the doctors, **, they were all busy and didn't have time to talk to me or comfort me. I felt very lonely and helpless, often crying silently alone.
However, it was good to have my mom with me. She would take care of me in the hospital every day, bring me good food, watch TV with me, and make me feel less alone. She is my strongest backing and my favorite mother.
After a while**, my tics symptoms started to lessen. The doctor told me it was because my medication was starting to work. I'm very happy because it means I can go back to school and play with my friends.
When I went back to school, I found myself getting better than before. I'm not as scared and shy as I used to be, and I'm not in pain from tics anymore. I learned how to better control my body and emotions, and I also learned how to get along better with my friends.
This experience made me understand the importance of health and made me cherish my life and health even more. Although I have experienced pain and hardship, this experience has also made me stronger and braver. I believe that in the days to come, I will always maintain this courage and strength to meet every challenge in life.
This case tells us that Tourette's syndrome is not scary, as long as it is professionally diagnosed and **, the child can completely control the symptoms and lead a normal life. Let's applaud Xiao Ming's courage and perseverance!At the same time, I also hope that all children with Tourette's syndrome can overcome the disease as soon as possible and regain a happy childhood, just like Xiao Ming.
