Hi All,
I just found this forum last night and I registered right away! My son, who is now almost 13, started ticking at the age of 7 after a month long bout of strep. He was on several different antibiotics during that month and it finally cleared. The month after, he started this hard/rapid eye blinking that I had never seen him do before. So, to make a long story short, his doctor referred us to a ped neurologist who diagnosed him with Tourette's with ADD. His tics are mild but it annoys him and I know that he's embarrassed. He stutters a lot now and it will take him a few times to get his words out. He's been on Strattera since he was 7. I've tried a few supplements but haven't really stuck to anything. I was reading about the Epsom Salts on this forum and never have heard of that before. We've never had him allergy tested either. Would his regular pediatrician order that test or do we need to see a ENT? I am willing to try anything!
