Right now I'm having a bad day (due to the recent realization of TS in my boy). I've talked to his teacher already and I'm absolutely grateful for this board. When I was diagnosed at 12, it was a real nightmare, and my parents had no information or support whatsoever. I suppose the bright side of all of this is that my son has someone 'in the know' who can relate to him on such a personal level. Could you let me know when your daughter began exhibiting symptoms of TS? I hate to say this, but the huge fear here is that he will end up with the severe end of the spectrum, as opposed to my 'mild' (if not mostly nonexistant) symptoms.

Guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Hi laurie 39, I just wanted to say to try and not be fearful that your son will end up with severe TS. Plus the stress from that fear will likely make your tics worse. I had severe TS before starting natural treatments and it's mild now. Mine was so bad I was even taken including Yale Hospital and botox was suggested. As a child I rarely made it through the whole school day and many days I went home by atleast noon and early a lot of times. I was lucky my teachers were so nice about missing school like this and had a father that is a teacher and kept me up with all the work I missed out on by not being in school. Many parents here also have children doing well on alternative treatments that would otherwise have severe TS. So I just want to encourage you not to be afraid because many find successful treatments, and this forum is great for support anytime you need it.
