My daughter who is 11 now was put on 7000 IU of Vitamin D by her doctor for tics. She was put on this when she had just turned 10. He vitamin D levels were sooo low. Usually if you have low vitamin D levels - you also have low vitamin E levels. There is talk that they are using vitamin E for large muscle movements such as those associated with MS. The vitamin D which was part of an entire regime of vitamins/minerals really helped with my daughters large motor tics. She now takes 1000 IU's a day.

From what I understand they can't really measure vitamin E. But if you are deficient in Vitamin D than there is a good chance of being deficient in Vit E. I will look for my old notes from the doctor. Regardless, I have met other people who have used Vitamin E for large motor. My daughter no longer takes the E, for she doesn't do the big movement tics anymore.

 

Usually if you have low vitamin D levels - you also have low vitamin E levels.

 

I've never heard this before. Are they related somehow?
