Kalebs Mom

I am very new to all of this information. I have only had my son to about five doctors for TS and they have all put him on meds for his problems, which is ADD, OCD, and TS. His tics are both motor and vocal. I am starting him on Sunday morning for 7 full days of "NO Screens" as I have read that may help. I am anxious to see the results of that. My questions are about the testings for food allergies? Corn stuff? Yeast something? Bonnies vitamins? Where do I get information on all of this stuff in very "new person terms"? I am willing to try anything to help my son. Thanks, Barb

I just found this board tonight and I can not believe what I have read. My son, Kaleb, who is twelve years old was diagnosed at the age of 7 with Tourette Syndrome, OCD and ADD. Kaleb is currently taking Clonidine, Straterra and Desparamine. I had absolutely no idea that there could possibly be any other explanation for the tics and problems that he has been having. If anyone could possibly send me any information about any of this stuff I would be very greatful....ie..vitamin deficiencies, doctors that deal with this, television/video game issues. and I read somewhere about ears turning bright red...we definately have that as well. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. We had such a stressful day with him today that I just sat down and cried when I found this site a couple of hours ago. I sincerely hope that this will be a part of the answers to my often said prayers. Thank you in advance for the help. Barb Kaleb's Mom
