I have not heard of any relationship. Tourettes is a neurological disorder and PTSD is by definition trauma induced. It is possible to have both, of course.
PTSD diagnosis is made not only by symptoms but by history as well. If you are resonating with the list of symptoms for PTSD, it does not necessarily follow that you have PTSD, because the symptoms do overlap with those of other disorders. If it were me, I'd want to check out if Tourettes can cause some of these symptoms first. Do you have a good Tourettes specialist? Do you have a good therapist? Psychopharmocologist?
