Yes, this happened to my son a few months ago. The tics were in the form of eye blinking and kind of rolling his eyes back in his head, and they occurred towards the tail end of a cold he had. We took him to a neurologist, ENT doc, and eye doctor and they all had different opinions. The tics went away on their own, then came back two weeks later...when my son got a cold again, or the previous cold reoccurred. The tics were there for about 7 days and nothing I tried seemed to help. To make a long story short, I put him on Lauricidin, and the tics were 75% better the next day and gone the second day. So my guess is that Lauricidin tackled whatever was causing the tics. A virus? Strep related? Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Hi, Is therea anyone out there right now that has had recent experience with tics that have come out of nowhere?? We took my son to the er last night because we werent sure what was going on. They said its not seizure activity because he talked the whole time and interacted with all the doctors etc. I was giving some valtrex and stopped it because i thought it was causing the motor tics. I happened right after a cold last week. He didnt have a fever so i thought it couldnt be strep. we gave lots of magnesium but nothing it working to help him. We thought we heard some hiccups. In the morning he gets up and its an hour before they start, and it builds up. He is an energetic child and happy, except now he looks so sad because these tics really are bothering him . We are seeing his ped on monday. Any thoughts?????????????? You can email me privately anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Ask the pedi to draw some blood and run a strep ASO and an Anti- DNASE. If these are significantly high, it could mean an active or recent bout of strep and you may need an antibiotic. Look up PANDAS on the internet, too.

For my #1, this generally meant he had a yeast issue. >>i have monolaurin in my cupboard.

Check " my son's update " in my Site Update message I will post in a minute. This sounds like my son and viral die off. He did get a few sores on his lips/mouth, altho most of them were on his body. Lauricidin [monolaurin] did cause MAJOR yeast for my kids. Good luck. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
