Your story sounds so similar to my experiences. He started right after he turned 6, 2nd week of kindergarten. He stopped licking after a year, but two years later Otis back. It's awful! My question is...how do they test for PANDAS and who do I see for that? Regular pediatrician? He Just currently started CBIT training, but too early to tell if it would work. Tonight he learned ways to reverse his tics and we walked out the door and did the licking....just like what you said ) any other info would be helpful. Thanks!

Thanks!

My 8 year old son has a licking tic that he hasn't done since he was 6. But now he licks the bottom of his shoe! Has anyone ever heard of this before? Any suggestions on how to stop it? We are horrified at this tic and it is causing many social problems in school.

My 8 year old son has had tics since he was 6. For the past 3 months his tics(mainly licking) have been out of control. I think looking into nutrition, allergies etc. is where I need to turn to, but I don't know how to find the right doctor? Anyone have any suggestions on how to find a doctor in my area? I love in NY. Thanks!
