footballguy Posted September 20, 2008 Report Posted September 20, 2008 I've been doing a lot of research you guys should all look up on google contrast showers or hot/cold showers + tics. Trust me
Chemar Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 hi footballguy glad this has worked for you when my son tried this hot/cold contrast some years back he had a negative reaction and his skin broke out in hives!!!!!!!!!! so I would urge people to be very cautious especially with kids we have members here who represent a very wide spectrum of tic disorders hot/cold shower contrasts are used by athletes etc to help eliminate lactic acid buildup in muscles and can provide a lot of relief for aching muscles etc. and may well help in some to calm tics but if for example, a PANDAS child is running a high fever from strep and in crisis, a hot cold shower contrast is not what they want to do! and could IMHO be dangerous!! there really isnt an"everyone should" solution here because everyone is dealing with many different conditions
