Need advise for my 9yr old son who has TS

[monetta]

Hi my name is Brenda,

 

I have a 9 year old boy who has TS. Every year when school begins and during the school year he gets strep, respirtory problems and sinus. My son is very active an loves the outside Every year I have to explain to the teacher about his TS and what she can do to make less frustrsting for him and her since they sometimes do not want to deal. I am tired of him getting sick when he starts school and doesn't stop until school is over. the summer time he doesn't get sick. Maybe he will get a sinus infection but not as bad from september to june. I need help? giving him meds every 3-4 weeks is not normal and all the teachers say if anyone is sick to stay away from my child because his immune system is low. His Tics come out more when he is nervous or excited. He does not like loud noise or messes and he is somewhat light sentive. If anyone can give some advise I will appreciated. I just found out he had TS when he was six. As far as him getting sick during school year I can't figure that out

Brenda,

I don't know if it's possible for your situation, but have you ever considered homeschooling your son? I homeschooled my children for a few years and they were remarkably healthy during those years. When I put them back in school all of the stomach viruses, strep, sinus problems etc. started circulating through our family again. Maybe if your son had some time to build up his immune system while not being exposed to all the viruses going around the school it would be helpful. Also, are you giving him any supplements to build up his immune system?

I wish I could homeschool him but that is not an option unless I find someone who can. What types of supplements do you recommend?

Hi Montta,

 

We, and many others have found Bontech supplements to be very helpful in reducing tics. We also eat a very strict diet and we don't eat anything with artificial ingredients. Our next step may be to visit the NAET dr.

 

As far as the sickness...... we can definitly relate. Our sons were sick most of the time from last December through April of this year. I think eating the right stuff and supplementing is helping to build their immune's though. However they have already been sick twice over the past 2 months.
