i am 14 years old and for the past 7 or 8 months i have been experiencing what i believe are symptoms of turrets

i have been twitching, i have had head jerks (which result in me having a headache), my fingers (mainly my thumbs) jerk, i blink and roll my eyes, and i have recently started cursing, i do not belive that any of these things are just my normal teenage hormones. And i can not control any of those things.

i do NOT take drugs, i have never smoked in my life (although i do have a mother who smokes), i do NOT drink and i never have.

i want to know, do you think i may have turrets?

I was looking up symptoms for turrets myself because I think I might have turrets too. I have most of the symptoms you do except the cursing and eye rolling. I curse a lot but only out of habit. Instead of cursing though, I make little 'poofs' with my mouth that no one notices I don't think. I only started that the other day.

I started to get really concerned because acouple hours ago during what I thought was a cold chill my should and head jerked so hard they crashed into each other. It hurt, but it doesn't hurt as much right now.

i believe i may have turrets.
