How to Prepare for Your Tourette Syndrome Doctor Visit

Bring the following to your Tourette Syndrome appointment:

  • All past medical conditions with dates
  • All medications and the dose you take. Include vitamins, herbs and supplements.
  • Any symptoms
  • Allergies
  • Questions for your doctor

For CT Scans or MRIs: Jewelry, hairpins, glasses, and hearing aids should be left home or removed. Do not eat for 6 hours prior to the exam.

For PET Scans: Abstain from eating for 4-6 hours prior to scan and avoid any rigorous physical activity.
