For those interested in the Pyroluria link to tics

[Chemar]

This link was just posted on the BrainTalk TS forum and has some interesting info re pyroluria and associated issues.

 

Lots of technical jargon to skim thru but very informative case study and conclusions.

Eric (lord twitchalot) if you are reading this.....I particularly thought of some of the tics you describe having when I read the case study.......maybe zinc, Vit B6 and manganese could help you too?

Thanks Chemar!

 

I keep going back and forth on manganese. I have read it is commonly supplemented with pyroluria, but Dr. Walsh says it isn't good for people with TS. I don't know if that means other tic issues or not. Any thoughts on manganese?

 

Eric, I thought the same thing as Chemar. That $40 (plus shipping) test might be worth thinking about...As I have posted, my husband and I were both negative, so not 'everyone' shows positive.

 

Chemar, did you ever do this test for your son?
