Cristina Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hello. Three weeks ago my 7 yr daughter got the hep A vaccine and minutes later developed tics. I TOOK her to a ped neurologist a week after and he diagnosed her with transient tics. He said that she probably developed the tics from fear of getting the shot. Since the shot her tics appear to be getting worse. She never had any tics before the shot so I'm very upset and believe that it was the shot and not her fear. I've tried Epsom salt baths and magnesium sup , but nothing seems to be helping. I feel so bad for her because she keeps asking me why her eyes keep blinking and why she can't stop it. I was thinking of bringing her back to her pediatrician for the 5th time regarding this for blood work. I would really appreciate any advise or suggestions that might help me to help my daughter. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hello sadly we have a number of reports here of children developing tics after vaccines...most likely something related to their immune reaction imo Where Epsom baths are a good detox, I am not sure they would specifically benefit here. remember the magnesium theory applies to TS specifically. If I were you I would try to find a good DAN doctor as they usually have experience with this. Hopefully the tics will subside once her immune system settles down.

Cristina Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hi Chemar, Thank you so much for your help and getting back to me so quick. I'm looking for a DAN doctor today and will let you know what happens after my daughter's visit. Sincerely Cristina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
