Yes, it is true. My son wax and waines. The eye rolling that was ever present throughout 1/2 of Dec and all of Jan disappeared in Feb through yesterday. In fact he was tic free for about 4 weeks. Today was the return of the eye rolling/blink. He had some stuff added back into his diet like pizza and pancakes and boy these were in abundant amounts (4 reg slices of pizza at on sitting on Friday night and 2 huge pancakes on Sat and on Sunday as well). I suspect for him that these large amounts of suspected food allergens just might be the cause or maybe not. But I can tell you I folded in fear when I saw this tic back. But now we have to work back to our baseline. If it is these items...white flour/processed wheat than we will see a drop off in a few days with a clean diet. So with all of my rambling...your answer is yes they do come and go and there is a reason for it, but you will have to be a detective to see what brings in on.

hi Simon

 

with true TS the tics are a more daily presence than with tic disorders. even tho they wax and wane in TS, yet the tics are generally present to a greater or lesser degree each day. For some, they do seem to go into longer waning periods and can have tic free periods, but for others it is daily......at least that is what I have come to understand from my contact with many people who have TS in a wide range of age groups
