chronic tics dominate body because they beat the self to volitional expression and activity. tics are often mistaken for 'stims' (self stimulatory behaviours). One can have both but tics are no more fun than other involuntary behaviours such as yawning.

His stimming has almost stopped since I started him on the SCD diet. The ticks are still there. They seem involuntary. I wonder how he feels when he does them?

[1210donna]

don't know about him. facial tics can stress the neck muscles, breathing tics can become distressing. I've never minded vocal tics and most of my motor tics I never minded. It really comes down to how chronic they are and how little time someone gets to have voluntary action and if the tics irritate oneself

Did you noticed the one he does with his throat?

He does it mostly while eating or drinking and right after.

tics are caused by brain irritation, often scaring caused by viral infection which has crossed the blood brain barrier, particularly in immune deficient kids with primary immune deficiency and an inflammatory state. I've had tics since age 2. When they are chronic they can dominate one's sense of self and relationship to body. good luck Mickie.

He is undergoing antiviral and antifungal treatment and it has made a big difference. After a week on Antiviral he pet the cat whom he had ignored up till that point. Mickie's ticks didn't start till about 5 years old, even though he was diagnosed at 2.

Is Mickie seeing a DAN doctor? At what age did you start taking him?

My daughter is five years old and nonverbal and not potty trained and we started DAN this summer; so far she has responded to Vitamin B-6; we are doing different tests to determine if chelation or other supplements are appropriate. I really hope we didn't start DAN too late to help her. I am glad to see an older child doing DAN who is making some progress.
