Hi I have a 7 year old daughter who started with eye and mouth tics when she was in kindergarten. She has gown through different tics. At one point she had 7 different tics. We talked to her ped and she said, at that point she'd had the tics for 6 months, that this is not unusual that tics can pop up and usually subside around 9 years old. These tics never seemed to bother her no matter what the tic was she never said anything about them. Last night was the first time she ever complained about the tics. She has been moving her neck side to side and front and back. She has actually pulled a muscle from doing the neck tic. She was in tears last night because of the tics.
After reading some information on this forum about PANDAS, and allergy testing in relation to tics, I am going to call her doctor to set up an appointment to discuss this issue. I don't know what else to do for her. We are told it's nothing ususual but she is getting upset and can't control these tics. I feel helpless.
If anyone has anything that I can take to this appointment please tell me. Thanks so much. ~Aimee
