Hello Jennifer,
I just wanted to let you know that I have Tourette's, and I am actually dealing with that exact tic right now.
I get this one every so often, and it usually lasts several weeks.
I do alot of climbing and hiking, and sometimes I think the tic follows a strenuous climb, where I was doing alot of heavy breathing.
It's no fun, but thankfully it doesn't seem to hang around as long as some of the other tics.
I am currently using only holistic methods of treating my Tourette's.
I was on haliperidol for 15 years, and it nearly wrecked my life.
A few years ago, I went all natural, and it is making an incredible difference!
I believe that a solid, organic diet, and various positive ways of dealing with stress make a huge difference in TS.
I hope you and your son will do well.
God bless you and keep you.
- Joe
