I think it's always like that when they try to rest, the tics are the worst. Been tired is also a trigger for tics. It is hard to see them suffering, I'm going through the same thing. The challenge is to find what are the triggers for your son. Start keeping a log, write what he ate, what he did, if he was mostly indoors/outdoors, screen time, stress etc. And keep reading. For my son we discovered that chlorine (pools) was a big trigger as well as dopamine increased foods like bananas and corn. Hopefully it helps, good luck!

Hi SoCalMom, Did you find any good doctor in L.A? My son started again with serious tics after a long period of non-noticeable tics. I'm starting to panic... Did you go to Dr. Deborah lehman? Thanks

Any doctor in Los Angeles area?
