Facial grimaces

[kallik]

My son has nose twitches, mouth twitches, etc. What has helped your child with facial grimaces?

Kalik,

I can't say anything about what may help with the facial, except that I wouldn't be surprised if it passes quickly. I've seen a nose twitch and also with the mouth in the past with my son, and those don't seem to last long, maybe a few weeks or so. Those are somewhat minor, I feel, and I would just keep doing the same as you usually do, maybe just add a touch more magnesium?

Hi,

My son has the nose twitches. I would say that the magnesium taurate has the greatest benefit for us.

Janey,

How much magnesium taurate do you give your child? My son gets 250 mill. a day right now. Maybe I should increase it.

kallik

have you ever tried L carnitine?

 

some find it very benficial for all head related tics. Not everyone can tolerate this amino acid so if you try it do introduce slowly

 

usual dose is 500mg per day

 

re Mag taurate...we have never given it in combined form but have always supplemented 500mg taurine and 500 mg magnesium per day and my son gets sufficient calcium to balance the magnesium

Hi,

 

I give him 500mg, I found that if I try to decrease it, the nose twitch comes back.
