Hello Heather, I'm so sorry your children are going thru this too. I am still trying to figure out who to go to. I, for now, am choosing not to go to a neurologist although my son has never been officially diagnosed in any way. Ms. Sheila Rogers has been kind enough to write to me and tell me she would try to find a doctor in the area that may be able to help. I am looking forward to hearing from her again. Nancy, I thank you for your advice. I actually wrote to Dr. Murphy prior to getting on this forum and she wrote back suggesting a Dr. Dan Rossingol if we have problems with nutrition, or Dr. Elena Perez at the university of Miami if problems with allergies. I am planning to call them today because I feel my son's pediatrician is not directing me in any way except to a pediatric neurologist. Heather, please stay in touch with us on this forum. I feel like we can help each other...I will keep you posted as to what steps we take with my son. Thank you, Shirly

Hello Ms. Rogers, thank you for giving me your time. I tried to send an email twice to the acn@latitudes.org email address with my name and I just wanted to know if you were able to receive it. Thank you, shirly

Hello. I am struggling with finding a doctor that can help my son. He has had tics for the passed two years and I just don't know what type of doctor to look for. All I know is that I do not want to take him to a neurologist of any doctor that will prescribe medicines that would only worsen the case. I have been noticing what causes some of his tics but want to have him tested to find out what other causes/things are triggering more tics. Please help! We are in the South Florida area. If I have to, I don't care if I have to drive far...I just want to help my sweet boy. Shirly
