Thank you to everyone who replied. Best wishes with your son Sarah. I don't currently have insurance so cannot see a doctor. Jeff, I don't think I eat much dyes etc. In fact I have been loosly sticking to the South Beach Diet for the last couple months. I had someone once tell me that maybe I had Candidas because I have much sinus trouble but being on South Beach, I am not eating any breads or carbs so that couldn't be it right? If I have a beer or wine, I have notice that my tics are worse. If i'm upset about something, they get worse too. There is no one I can talk to about this so it feels really good to be able to talk to you all. thanks! I will try the other web sites you all sugested. I am just afraid of spending money ( I'm also having financial troubles) on stuff that dosn't work. I would gladly pay for something if I was guarenteed it would work. Jeff, you said your daughters have them. Does that mean they are heriditary? Rebecca

Hi I just found this site tonight. I was looking because my tics are getting worse (tonight they are so bad that its making me nause) and I am hoping for a cure or something. I am 40yrs old. I have been to 3 different doctors all who said i do not have tourettes but that my tics are from stress and being nervous. I don't think I have that much more stree than most people. My tics change from month to month. I take zinc and vit b and magnesiam because i had heard that it would help but it dos'nt seem to. People are always staring at me and it is embarrassing especially during the social Christmas season. I was reading some of the other messages on here but havn't ever heard of the medicine or whatever was talked about. Can anyone help me please?
