Luckybaber918 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hi! I am new here. I came across your forum last night while searching ways to calm tics naturally. I haven't officially been diagnosed with anything as of yet, but my tics have been getting worse as the days go on. I only have motor tics; nothing vocal, that I am aware of anyway. It started out as eye movements when I was younger, and progressed as the years went on. Sometimes, they would just go away totally for a long period of time. Lately, though, they have gotten so bad, my muscles hurt at the end of the day. I currently have shoulder and arm tics as well as upper body random movements (if that makes sense). I talked to my doctor about it all, and the only thing she came up with was sleep apnea. I don't believe that at all, so I am headed for a second opinion. I have been looking for some easement in the meantime. I am thinking of trying out Natural Calm since so many seem to have positive results with it. I used to drink Crystal Light iced tea like crazy, but read on here that the aspartame isn't good for tics. Today I stopped drinking that and have been drinking a lot more water. I also like the idea of Epsom salts for my feet. Despite the fact that it might help with tics, I love the idea of pampering myself a little. So, my question to you all is--- I noticed there are so many versions of Natural Calm, which one should I try? Is one better than another one? How about the flavor? I saw one with calcium, some regular ones, powder ones, smaller bottles as well as larger bottles. I am so new to all of this, I just don't know what to do. I think the Natural Calm would be best compared to magnesium pills, but I am not sure about that either. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!!!

Chemar Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hi and welcome This is the Natural Calm most use The ionic delivery of magnesium citrate is fast and we found effective Magnesium glycinate is also supposed to be a good option as a supplement as it is well absorbed and does not cause the laxative effect that the mag citrate does.

Luckybaber918 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hi! Thank you so much for the information. I do have a couple more questions, if that would be okay. I read most people take this at night, but I wasn't sure if that was what the directions say or if there is a reason for that. Also, is this taken once a day or more? One more question, I promise... On average, how long until effects are seen? I know some "medications" take 10-12 days to take effect due to needing to build up in your system. Is this the same way? Or, because it is natural, results are seen sooner? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hi My son had an almost immediate relief from taking supplemental magnesium, including Epsom Salts baths The reason people take the Natural Calm and Epsom baths at night is that is tends to promote sleep. The suggested magnesium dose is 300-400mg daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
