Hello,
I am new to posting a topic but not new to reading the forums and I'm looking for advice. My 5 year old son now 7 years old started showing signs of tics right after Halloween a couple of years ago. He would move his nose from side to side, stretch his neck to one side, sniff and snort and his eyes started rolling up like he was looking at the sky. I searched the internet and found this site which gave us alot of great ideas which led me to a doctor I found here in Phoenix. I am writing this because my son is experiencing some issues again and I would like to reach out for some additional help and I have been meaning to share our successes for quite some time now. The doctor I found here I think is brilliant. She is founder of CARE which is the Center for Autism, Research and Education. She was and is a godsend to us as she helped eliminate all the symptoms through alot of testing, supplements and time. It took about 6 months after we received all the tests back including the food allergy testing results from SAGE and eliminated all the items shown to be positive in the test. He had been symptom free for about a year and we had his food allergies retested and slowly started adding some of the foods back into his diet. He was doing very well but recently started the sniffing and snorting again during the allergy season and it has continued. We have cut back all the foods again to the ones when he was symptom free which has been about a month now but the sniffing and snorting continues. We have continued to see Dr. Schneider and have another appt with her in about a week. Im wondering if anyone else has any experience dealing with the sniffing and snorting with any success. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks so much!
Sean
