I've have generalized seizures with JAS (I think that's what the doctor called it) since I was 13- I'm 44 now with 3 kids. My youngest son has hand tics but the doctor said that's normal but my oldest has a facial tic that I'm quite concern about. He is 27 now and I can only suggest the doctor. Should I be nagging for a neurologist?

Yes, it can be Epilepsy or Tourette Syndrome.But I still would nag about being referred to a Neurologist..
