If you no longer suffer with tourettes and you are not on medication for it this should increase your chances.

As i said all people with similar cases are looked at on a case by case basis as well as yours. They will look at time between, how long it has gone on for, what medications were used if any and any other varying factors that may have contributed to it. I cant comment on individual cases as we don't see you medical records only the medical team does.
