Re: Dana - OT Drugs for tourettes?Need advice

[Guest guest]

Thanks for your responses Dana,

The tics are pretty constant, 10 per minute(no kidding!), although

there are times when he is engrossed in Nintendo or motor activity,

that he doesn't tic for minutes at a time.

His tics are very similiar to what I hear refered to as " tardive

dyskinesia " a side effect of neuroleptic drugs, although he has never

been on any. He has pretty obvious facial grimacing, nose rubbing,

eye rubbing, and occasional shoulder shrugging and throat clearing.

I have no support from his pdocs or even those we consult with...all

graduates from the " must be genetic " school of medicine. ;(

thanks a bunch,

Diane

,

Did you ever find any successful treatment for you child? Does he

only tic when he has or had strept?

I inquired about PANDA testing about four years ago and neuro,

genetisists, immuno, were clueless. I noticed you are in GA too, how

did you have your child diagnosed?

TIA,

Diane

Most of those are related to yeast for my son [except we don't do the

shoulder shrugging here], do you have a good yeast protocol?
