Tattoomom Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Ds (PANS) has had a mouth stretching tic for about 6 weeks now. He started a steroid burst (6 days) a few days ago, so we are half-way through it and his tic is WORSE! Is this typical? I was hoping he'd calm down, since steroids help our 4 yr old PANDAS child.... He does seem happy and calm, just ticcing away! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowingmom Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Check out the Tourette's forum. I think Chemar has mentioned that steroids can exacerbate ticcing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trggirl Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I have read many stories on steroids exacerbating tics. We have been afraid to try them for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurenK Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Yes, steroids exacerbate my tics A LOT. However, after they completely disappear for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
