Good afternoon-
I'm so glad that I have found this website and forum. My DD (age 9) has had eye blinking tics off and on for 1 1/2 years. It has really only been eye blinking and squeezing her eyes shut. I have started to look into this and feel very overwhelmed by all the information. I had them do allergy tests (pricks on the back) but nothing came up. I've tried eye drops, allegra and magnesium rub and nothing seems to help. There will be a few months that she doesn't have any and then all of a sudden, they are back. I can't seem to correlate them with any stress, tiredness, etc.
One interesting thing - she had an ear infection (her first ever) a few months ago and the dr put her on antibiotics. The ENTIRE time she was on antibiotics, she had no tics. When the 10 days were up, they came back.
I have heard Natural Calm may be helpful as well as some food changes. I just feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start.
We have just moved and she started a new school, so she is embarrassed by her eye blinking and the kids are starting to ask why she is doing it.
Would love any/all feedback you have. Are there a few things that I should start out with?
Thanks in advance-
