Hi, My daughter does not have tics that you notice everyday I see them once in awhile but it's nice to know about this doctor. I live in close. When you state the below, was that at the doctors request or does he believe that food makes a diffenerce? We have learned a lot about his allergies and food sensitivities and have gone organic/green over the past 3 years but FINALLY a doctor has stepped up and is showing me HOW the brain works and WHAT can be done to help my son. I'm glad you found a doctor that can help. I will keep him in mind in case. My daughter tics occasionally but she has digestive problems which I think is connected. I would of definetly taken her to see this doctor a few years ago when she had back problems from ticcing.

Below is a more detailed video. I honestly believe my daughters was effected by her shots at 12. This concerns me very much a vaccine for swine flu. At the same time I always look at both sides and worry if i'm making the right decision. The gardisal shot was an easy one, I did not let her get it. They wanted to give her the second vaccine for chicken pox and I said "no" but worry about that decision for the future. Looking at this vidio why can't I be 100% sure I don't want her to have it. I'm always worring what if.... www.infiniteunknown.net/.../nvic-on-swine-flu-and-the-consequences-for-you/

Is oscilloccocinum a homeopathic remedy? thx Hi, oscilloccocinum is homeopathic it states on the box no side effects and no drug interations, it's made by Borion. When My DH and DD and my self got the flu my DH took Tamiflu and DD and myself took oscillococcinum. It took us all a week to get over the flu completely. Does oscilliococcinum work, I don't know. I questioned ordering it again but I did and then my son got the flu a few months later and I gave it to him and he was sick for about a week. Will I order more, probably. You can try iherb.com because it is expensive. When I ordered mine I got 2 for 1 deal.

I don't know if you hear about the swine flu at least 3 times a week on the news or in the paper but I do. It gets me nervous when I think about it. Love to hear your opinions on this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEii1eMBHtE NVIC Questions Safety of Giving Swine Flu vaccine 07 22 09, National Vaccine Information Center, Barbara Loe Fisher. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEii1eMBHtE

I apologize I tried to delete the whole post but it would not let me. I changed to new topic because I wanted the vidio on Vaccine for swine flu as first post.

Hi - My daughter also gets knee pain and sometimes her leg hurts. In fact the other day she was wearing(I forgot what it is called) knee support. My daughter was in track before the tics and she was fine. When she got the tics that year her knee started hurting. Her knee hurts now if she walks alot. I definetly think there is a connection with the tics. My daughter does not have panda's. I hope you find the answeres you are looking for. I find it so frustrating going to doctors because they don't see the whole picture and they look at you like you are nuts. You said pandas has a history of leg pain. I know my daughter had a blood test for panda's and it came out fine. I lent my book( Shelia Rogers) out so I can't check. If I remeber correctly she said it was common for aches and pains but I don't remember specifictly if she mentioned leg and knees. Did you try Natural calm with Magnesium. I could not get my daughter to take it she is very picky but alot of kids on this forum take it with know compliants. You can put it in search box. Good luck I understand completely.

Hi, I forgot about Epson salt- Thanks CSP

Hi Myrose My daughter is 15. I don't think it is growing pains. It is from the mile run. I was comparing her to the other kids and she said they are fine. My daughter does excersize almost everyday so I would think a mile run would not effect her as it did. Then I was thinking mabey everyone legs hurt and my daughter the only one complaining .

My daughter had to do a mile run in gym yesterday. I't took her 11 minutes. She use to be able to do it in 6 mins when she was in track a few years ago. Well any way her legs are really hurting today. IS that normal. According to her everybody else is fine in class. She woke up this morning and she said she felt like she was going to colaspe that her legs where giving out. I remember when I was young when I did too much excersize I felt the same. Sometimes I feel like I worry too much about everything. My daughter excersizes mostly everyday. She told me today the teachers where asking her why she was not doing certain things in gym and she told them her legs hurt but they did not take her serious and thought she was kidding.

I took my daughter to the eye doctor last week. She has had a stye since late October. This is the second doctor I saw he never said it was a stye I did and he never corrected me and said any different.Im starting to think it is a chalazion(lump in the eye lid). He put her on antibiotics and drops. It looked like it was going away and now its coming back. He mentioned surgery and of course my daughter wants anesthesia. I am having her put a hot cloth on her eye 4 times a day now. Does anybody know what else I could do. I read about the chalazion and from reading about it only 5% have surgery and it should be your last resort. Thanks Ps I asked my doctor if this could have any thing to do with the tics, meaning the immune system. He looked at me like I had two heads and said its like a pimple and has nothing to do with tics. My daughter of course was embarrassed that I asked. I still think there is a connection. I remember the first time she had tics in her neck it was her first tic. She also had a eye infection her eyelid was swollen and when we went to doctor he called it a wierd name I never heard of and I bet it was a chalazion. He gave ointment and it went away. Again; this time when she got it her eye was ticing something I have not seen in a few months. I hate going to doctors!!!!

Hi Caryolyn, I enjoyed looking at your pictures, He is Beautiful ! Congradulations ! Maryann

Hi Kim, I am in the same boat as you as far as the CP vaccine. My daughter last check up they requested that she receive the second CP vaccine and I told the doctor my reasons for not wanting her to get it. I requested for the titers and she told me to wait for her next year blood work but she also asked why and asked what I would do if she needed the CP vaccine. I told her I don't know and I am so mad at myself for letting her get that shot. I remember at the time I was unsure and they talked me into it. I watched four of her friends when they had the chicken pox and prayed my daughter would get even thow she had the vaccine. I worry alot about all these decisions we have to make and if they are the correct ones. Has anyone child had the CP Vaccine and had bad reaction.

WOW- I just read about the vitamin D on doctor Mecola's site. Makes sense. I also read about the vaccine, scary and something to think about. Thanks for all the replies

Hi CSP- Thanks, and true. My husband swears by the b's. I just saw commercial on the show The Doctor's about the swine flu and they said something about building your immune system too. I think that show is going to be on tomorrow. You can't get away from hearing about it! I just thought of something last time I had the Flu my asthma and allergies kicked in, im going to start my singular today. THANKS

Hi- I'm starting to worry about the Swine flu. My daughter and I already had the flu and we both had it pretty bad. My daughter had the flu for a week and I had it for 5 days but my cough lasted for 2 and half months. We both used oscillococcinum the homopathic medicine. I'm watching the news alot and they keep talking about the tamiflu. So far the flu is staying mild but if it does start getting severe would you give your kids tamiflu? I'm probably worrying to soon, but just curious. Thank you

Hi Caryn, I don't know if you remember. I spoke to you before on celiac tests. My daughter got her blood work from Great plain labs and the blood test came out Negative. She had a very low number. no where near the range for celiac. She took the igg and came out in mid range for bakers yeast. Stool and urine also showed yeast. I just was reading Dr. fine's website. Do you think the blood test is enough? I have been meaning to ask you about mindlinx that you once recommended, do you also recommend if not celiac? I have my daughter eaten gluten free pasta. I know its easier on the digestive system but is it better for the yeast? I apologize for all the questions -thanks so much for your help

Hi Wendy, I think I looked it up once before and Mcd's chicken nuggets and fries do have msg. My daughter gets very sick one to many times and I hope she knows better now. My daughter also made the hmm sound. She is doing pretty well by elimating Msg and artifical flavors. I remember when this first started and two weeks is a long time to wait for a doctors appt. when you don't know whats going on, hang in there. Im sure your going to get alot of good advise. Elimating Msg and artifical flavors is a good start. Maryann

Hi, Daughter started ticcing at age 12, she is now 15 , tics have reduced . Tics where the worst when first started at age 12.

Hi , I was wondering if you asked the doctor about the l- glutamine and msg? My daughter previous took l-glutamine and I was thinking of putting her back on it. Thank you Maryann

Hi, I think I found a doctor that i'm going to stick with. I went a little bit to far by showing her all the tests that I took but she was willing to listen, who knows what she really thinks. The only reason I say that is becauce she was fine then left the room for second opinion on one of the test and came back with A different attidude. She is the only DO there so I could imagine what the other doctor told her. Well any way the nurse came in at first and told me my daughter needed the booster for the chicken pox and I told her no thanks and I will talk to the Doc. When I explained it to her she said by all means do not give it to her. Then I asked if I could get titer test and she said why your not going to give it to her either way. I told her I don't know and she said I have time and next blood test she will add it on which is fine with me. Here is the problem, My daughter on the way home told me she wants the chicken pox vaccine. I explained why I do not want her to have it and she said she does not care if the tics explode. It's funny because my daughter never did. She complained sometimes about her back hurting from the tics but never the tics itself. So any way she tells me I hope you can find somebody with the chicken pox that I can hang around with or let me have the shot. She told me she does not want to worry about this when she decides to have a baby. My daughter is perfectly fine with not getting the gardersil shot that is another vaccine she asked about because all her friends where getting it. The vaccine for the chicken pox is something im going to have to think about after the titer test. Did anybody get the booster vaccine?

HI FAITH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONCE. I BELIEVE MY DAUGHTER GETS SICK FROM GREASY FOODS. THE FRENCH FRIES I BELIEVE WAS FROM THE GREASE. I DEFINETLY BELIEVE SHE HAS A REATION TO MSG BECAUSE WHEN SHE HAS RANCH DRESSING SHE IMMEDIATELY DOES THE HUH SOUND RIGHT AFTER. AT FIRST I DID NOT KNOW WHY SHE DID THAT UNTIL I SAW IT ON THE NEWS ABOUT PARENTS COMPLAINING ABOUT MSG AND THEY SHOWED A BOTTLE OF THE RANCH DRESSING MY DAUGHTER LOVES AS A EXAMPLE. THE NEWS SPOKE ABOUT MOSTLY HEADACHES AND STOMACH ACHES BUT THEY ALSO SAID SOME PARENTS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT NERO EFFECTS. SHE USE TO HAVE THAT RANCH DRESSING ALL THE TIME AND HAS NOT MADE THAT SOUND SINCE SHE STOPPED. WHEN EVER MY DAUGHTER GETS SICK FROM GREASE ITS MOSTLY HER GUT I DO NOT NOTICE A INCREASE IN TICS SO YOU DO RAISE A GOOD POINT. IF SHE EATS THE RIGHT FOOD SHE DOES NOT GET SICK SO ILL SEE, I HATE THE THOUGHT OF TAKING HER BACK TO THESE DOCTORS! I AM GOING TO WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN, THANKS AGAIN FAITH
