NJCTS Seeks New Year's Resolutions from Tourette Syndrome Families

Entries already are piling up on the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome's TSParentsOnline blog, which has been live on the Internet for two months.

Somerville, NJ, January 11, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The New Year is off to a great start across the country. The economy is picking up, and much of the negative news that plagued the world throughout a good part of 2011 hasn't taken hold in 2012.

Along with that, many people are making the usual New Year's Resolutions, deciding to make the most of a fresh start. Some are plausible; others, not so much. The New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome & Associated Disorders is joining that fray and is wondering how people hope 2012 will be a different, better year amongst those in the TS community -- for individuals and families alike.

What research do you want to see take place?
What scientific breakthroughs do you believe are possible?
What are some of your family or individual goals relating to TS?
How do you expect TS to affect you in 2012?

Those are just a few of the questions NJCTS wants to see addressed as 2012 moves further along. Please consider taking a moment or two to ponder this issue and leave your response on their fast-growing TSParentsOnline blog, which has garnered nearly thousands of hits since debuting in mid-November.

This particular blog entry can be found by visiting http://www.njcts.org/tsparents/new-years-resolutions-for-tourette-syndrome. NJCTS encourages anyone, from inside the TS community or out, to leave a Tourette-related New Year's resolution.

One parents, SarahG, described this as her resolution for her son, who has Tourette Syndrome: "(I want to see) non-drug alternatives. For my son, nothing beats swimming. I would be interested in trying acupuncture, but he has an absolute terror of needles, so that’s an appointment that could get very ugly. Acupressure is something we have toyed with, with limited success."
