New Tongue Tic - Feeling Desperate

[cobygurl]

Hi,

 

My 4 year old son has started a new tic which is tongue thrusting, rolling it around in his mouth and also moves it as if he is trying to feel his top teeth.

 

I am feeling so desperate. I have no idea what may have caused it.

 

We have been introducing more supplements and larger doses slowly and a few days ago he had a day where we thought we were really turning a corner.

 

But now this...

 

We have introduced more probiotic and a new homeopathic antifungal called pleo ex - has anyone tried it?

 

Has anybody had experience with this type of tic - prior to that, he has been wiping and scratching various parts of his body.

 

I feel so sad somedays and silly as it couds I feel so devastated with this new tic.

 

Thank you.

If you just introduced an anti-fungal, he may be herxing ie experiencing the toxic die off of the fungal infection, which always makes things worse before they get better.

 

Is he doing Epsom Salts baths to help with the detox? as well as drinking lots of pure water?

 

Our doctr had my son on specialized detox remedies during anti-fungal treatment to minimize the herxing

Thanks so much for your reply!

 

The anti-fungal I gave to him sporadically because I was seeing some tongue rolling and I discontinued it.

 

It was just in the last few days were I saw more of his wiping tic (more than I've seen in a long time) after increasing his probiotic and introducing some other vitamins that I gave him some anti-fungal the other day.

 

That is when the tongue rolling started and today we are on day 3 of this new tic. It just leaves me heartbroken.

 

I am supposed to introduce a new multi vitamin as well and am not sure if I should hold off? I know he is severely deficient in B6 but we have been holding off as we introduce many new supplements.

 

Just don't know if my very cautious approach to giving him new supplements is delaying his recovery.

 

I know Chemar that you had several vitamins you gave your son, did you introduce slowly or all at once? Did you start with the multi?

Our physician advised us to introduce all supplements at low dose and individually,working up to recommended dose, noting any adverse or beneficial effects, and then adding the next. We were advised to keep a detailed journal which really helped determine what was good or bad, identified triggers etc etc

 

My kids had been on multivitamin/mineral since they were tiny, so that was always present.
