I don't know if this is Tourette's or something else entirely?

Question

But there are times when I feel like this weird shiver-like? feeling and a strong head twitch, my hands/fingers twitch fairly often, and my legs spasm a bit as well, shrug thing in one shoulder. There&rsquo;s also this really strange noise that I&rsquo;ve made a few times every day for the past 2-3 years, if I try to suppress it it becomes painful and it feels like my throat is closing up. I get asked constantly if I&rsquo;m okay, or if I have to go to the hospital. 

I was watching some Tourette's documentaries today and I suddenly had a fear that it might be what&rsquo;s wrong with me. 
There&rsquo;s not really one thing that happens constantly throughout the day, but it&rsquo;s usually a mixture of several different things. Some answers to this would be greatly appreciated! I&rsquo;ve been wondering about it for a long time. 

My symptoms have been getting worse.

Answer

My first guess would be magnesium deficiency just because it is so common. Magnesium strengthens muscles, calms nerves, stops cramps, and fights infections. Get epsom salt. It is cheap, five bux for a year's supply. Put a dose in a glass with water to cover and stir until it dissolves. Fill the glass with lemonade and drink it. You can take it without the lemonade but you won't like the taste. Milk of magnesia is more expensive but nicer tasting and gentler laxative action. Your choice.
