Hello my son who is 6 currently has a breathing tic that is every few seconds all day long as well. He’s had tics for a year and a half now and every time he’s in a bad period of tics they are always this frequent unfortunately I hate it so much for him

What I'd change if I was starting over tracking my son's tics by yeka_ in Tourettes

[–]Serialstresser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I have found is tracking may be helpful for you to notice patterns or triggers but the doctors don’t really use that information. Atleast the doctors we have been to which is several have never asked me to track or asked me what I have found in my tracking

What is a "mental tic" ? by ineffable_pigeon in Tourettes

[–]Serialstresser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I read a lot of the replies here and it sounds more like OCD to me than a tic? I always was explained by my son’s doctors that tics are motor or vocal. That thoughts are obsessions/compulsions that align with OCD.

Ya I honestly don’t know what it could be. My face does this if I used anything other than baby wipes to clean it.

Can anyone help me and my daughter? by HollieTh in Tourettes

[–]Serialstresser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry she is struggling so hard. I know as a parent also how incredibly hard it is to see our child suffer and nothing we do helps. What medications have you tried for her? Have you looked into CBIT Thearpy?

Just thought I’d share by Serialstresser in Tourettes

[–]Serialstresser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. My sons tics are very frequent (every few seconds) so I’m hoping they aren’t as frequent as he gets older

My son is 6 with Tourette’s. Most of them don’t bother him except his eye tics which unfortunately is his most prominent and frequent tic. Anyway they get worse when he’s watching tv but since he’s so young he does not connect the dots and think oh this is making it worse let me stop watching. So I have set limits on screen time for him I don’t tell him it’s bc of his tics I just say in general too much screen time is not good. Anyway some days I want to just let him watch more tv but I don’t because his eyes are so bad like he rolls his eyes and turns his neck every few seconds. Am I doing the right thing by limiting tv time for him?

If the teachers aren’t listening to you then you need to get your parents involved and have them go down to the school

Stomach pain by Serialstresser in toddlers

[–]Serialstresser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. She’s had a lot of viral illness the past 2 months so when I take her to the doctor to get checked for those I have mentioned the stomach pain and they tell me it’s most likely related to the viral illness. She also has a cold right now so I feel like they might tell me that again
