My daughter's tics (at that time I didn't know they were tics) started soon after she turned 5. It started as a throat clearing tic which we thought was due to seasonal allergies and kept treating her for it. The tics did not improve at all and we were really confused as to why none of the allergy meds are helping her. A year went by with her throat clearing tics still present. A few months ago, her throat clearing tics stopped completely and were replaced by eye blinking tics. That is when I stumbled upon this website and realized that what she has been having all along were tics. Then we tried magnesium for a while with minimal improvements. I discontinued magnesium when I didn't see any value in giving it to her. We did allergy testing and found she was allergic to quite a few common food allergens, egg being the main one. After we eliminated the food allergens from her diet, she is now completely tic free and has been like this for a couple of months . I will continue to monitor her and update the boards if anything changes. Hope everyone here finds the path to recovery from tics soon. -Nan

Shortly after my son turned 6, he had a sudden & acute head tic, then later with other motor & vocal tics. We have done the following treatments: acunpuncture, chiropractic, CST, Chinese medicine, ND with supplements, NAET & Bioset. My son's tics did calm down after about 2 acunpuncture sessions, but the needles caused him much stress & anxiety, so we abandon this treatment plan. My son had modest improvement with chiropractic. NAET has eliminated his asthma and chronic bloody nose. It also helped some with his environmental allergies. CST has been very helpful with his neck pain that triggers his neck tic. It is almost completely gone. Unda #s from my son's ND seems to be helpful as well. Kids Calm & epsom bath is very helpful for stablizing the tics. I have switched from NAET to Bioset recently. I believe this will eliminate my son's allergies and tics. I will report more on this after more treatments. Finding a qualified practitioner made a world of difference in my son's well being & tics. We have gone thru 2 CST therapists and the 3rd one who is also my son's ND gave very positive result. Also, we have gone thru 2 NDs. My son's first ND caused more damage than good. However, our current ND made progress with my son. My son is 98% tic free and when he is waxing, it is mild & infrequent and gone within days or sometimes just hours. Even when he is waxing, he is about 90% better than before. For parents out there who are new to this, i would say things do get better and become manageable. I have great hope that many of you will find your way and my son will be completely tic-free. Pat
