Hi Nicola,

I'd make sure that they are aware that you may tic uncontrollably if you're not fully under. They then may decide based on available facts whether they can cope with you being awake.

John just beet me to it

My grandad had Parkinsons and cut his finger badly, he need a lot of stitches but his hand shook badly. The doctor took his time and stopped stitching when he was shaking, he was really good at keeping my grandad calm, he shook more as he bacame stressed.
I am sure if you make sure they are aware that they will have a way of coping without expecting you to surpress your tics .

hiya thanks for the advice guy's
dont worry i will make sure that i let them know lol im a pain and the consultant knows it lol I go in every week with a list of questions and back chat for him lol im sure he will have pleasure in giving me the local LOL
