Thanks to everyone who replied to my post! Having this support system is really helpful. Everyone gave such great advice which is (hopefully) helping us to solve this puzzle. Cheryl

Thanks for the advice Cheri. I will definitely decrease the B6. As for the root cause of the tics...it is a mystery. They just came out of no where at the beginning of summer. The only factor I can think of that is different is swimming in chlorinated pools, which we are doing quite a bit of these days. We have no known allergies, no family history, and no other new things in our life. However, I am considering having some allergy testing done if I can convince my dh.

Hi All! I am a first time poster, although I've been lurking for a while. My six year old began ticcing this summer as soon as school got out. We have an appt with a ped neurologist Aug 19 but after reading what others have experienced I am not expecting much. I got the Sheila Rogers book and was immediately encouraged. However, after doing some food eliminations, introducing supplements, etc the ticcing is basically the same. Has anyone else experienced this. I guess after reading the book I was expecting big changes but none yet. How long does it typically take to notice changes after introducing supplements and dietary mods. I am also a little worried about the supplements I have chosen and the dosages I'm giving. Right now we are doing a kid's multivitamin, a kids Omega 3/6/9 blend, Vitamin c (500 mg), vitamin b6 (100 mg), and magnesium (250 mg). These are adult sized dosages I know so I am a little worried that I am overdoing it. Does anyone have any inight into other suppements that might be beneficial? I am interested in the amino acid component but don't know where to start there. Any advice from more experienced TS parents would be greatly appreciated! My husband thinks that I am now obsessive about finding treatment but if there are things we can do to make it better than I am willing to do whatever it takes.
