Tic Trigger Diary

[Atex]

Has anyone here found a particular diary that they found useful in identifying tic triggers (food and environmental)?  I feel like I need something more organized than just a plain jane food diary.  I was poking around the ACN resources and found a lot of the behavior charts to be useful, but didn't run across any diary setups.

Hi Atex, We have some additional resources that are associated with our book Stop Your Tics by Learning What Triggers Them. 

See here  

Depending on what you are looking for, I think you could find some helpful approaches. Please take a look and see what you think. I'd love to know what you think. 

If you have something else in mind, maybe we could develop it for you and it would no doubt be useful to others. 

I'll look forward to hearing back if you get a chance. Thank you! Sheila

I think the "Daily Log for Tic Triggers" would be good for a high level of detail, maybe for folks who are just starting out and have no idea on the triggers and/or are really suffering with the tics and have that incentive to catalog everything.  I was shooting more for a condensed version where we already have a significant control on diet, but can make quick notes and be able to compare trends.  I might work something up and float it to you.

Hi Atex, how have things been going?

Please do let me know if you have an idea for a chart that you think would be helpful. We'd do our best to develop it.

We all got COVID the past 2 weeks.  I lost all taste and smell and fatigued, so things have been slow going.  It ran through the kids but surprisingly, we are still completely tic free since the beginning of September 2023 (even with doing a diet challenge with eggs, start of school excitement, 1 cold, and COVID).

Hi Atex,
