two kids with tics! NOOOO!

Hi

What are the chances of both my kids having tics? My son has had tics since he was about 7 (he is now 11) and my daughter is (recently) showing signs (eye rolling and clearing her throat) and she is now 8. Anyone else have this in their family? What does this mean? AAAAuuugh!! Gosh!

I have made an appointment with a doctor about PANDAS to see if that is what it is. Would it be PANDAS if both kids have tics?? :wacko:

Thanks for your help.

Yes it could be PANDAS if they have both been strep infected/exposed. I hope the doc you are seeing is PANDAS literate?

 

Genetic TS could also show in more than one family member

 

Also if you have some environmental allergen triggering the tics (eg mold, arsenic in woodwork, formaldehyde in new carpeting, etc etc etc) then both could be susceptible and ticcing as a result.
