Body regions affected by tics

Tics can affect any part of the body and aren’t always visible. Mine can be very noticeable on my head, neck and shoulders, others are more subtle such as stomach rolling. Some of these tics are difficult to describe to someone, such as ear ‘clicking’ or ‘popping’. 

Below are the body parts readers have logged tics in so far- via the tic log.

I have started creating articles on these body parts as they are logged, along with the places and tic types resulting in the body part being affected.
