Tics less after high fever?

[desperatemum]

I know it sounds weird, but my son's tics decreased dramatically after a high fever last Friday. He couldn't stop nodding/shaking his head before that but now it only happens a few times every day. Is there anyone who has the same experience? Also if he has come to the ' Wane' period of his tics, how long will it last? I am overwhelmed by the improvement he has made. But also worried another 'wax' is waiting for him.

My son did this same thing with the fever in the beginning of his tics, not so much now. I really don't see much waxing or waning at all now he just seems to be the same all the time.

 

My husband and I thought it was more of an OCD at the time, if he was sick he just did not feel like ticcing/OCD-ing

mum,

 

When my son is sick with cold or virus (fever, vomiting) his tics actually DECREASE. I have seen this many times. I don't think I've ever seen a spike during the ilness. Like if he has a vocal, when he is sick for a day or two, it always decreases to almost nothing. Now AFTER the illness I suppose is another story, somehow they do reappear, but not worse or something new, just sort of returns to the same way it was.

 

you could do a search here, I know others have reported the same. we've discussed this before around here somewhere, perhaps you can poke around or do a search.

It has been five days since my son recovered from the high fever. He is doing very well now. I can only see a few simple short head nodding now, not as severe and constant as before. Probably all my hard work for the past two months start to pay off. I can take him out without feeling nervous finally. I am so glad that life starts to be normal again. My husband continues to do massage, cupping and sometimes accupunture for him. I think bath with Epsom Salt also helps him with his sleeping.
