  1. Here comes an other update. I started following tics on an excellent sheet that helps me figure out progress of tics and when they emerge and when they get out of the picture. At the very first 2 months after 'new' noticeable tics kicked in we had some ups and downs however they never got very bad or to a point that would effect her social life. At the 8th week a steady decline started and leg/arm jerking slowly decreased in intensity and frequency and now gone. However during the course a few more tics came and go. We had some head nodding that was very infrequent for 5 weeks , we had a jaw opening tics that was also very infrequent for 8 weeks , a hip related tic that was frequent when walking but went away in a few weeks. Interestingly some long standing tics are gone now too , like broadening nostrils and nose twitching (not sure this was tics or related to allergic rhinitis) are either gone or very very infrequent that I do not notice. On the other hand an abdomen tic (that is pretty easy to mistaken for a breathing tic ) is back. It's not frequent and very hard to recognize externally so that does not worry me as much. EMTICS have published several papers , so if you've not read them those can be good resources. We are not using any supplements other then the very usual stuff. We are still focused on 'positive stress' , less TV/Phone'Tablet time , more physical activity. I think that being confident really helps her a lot and at her age part of the confidence comes from her physical capabilities, so I feel like gymnastics really help her a lot.
