Is There Natural Supplements That Help?
Question:
I have just discovered this group and I am very glad that I did. I am a 32 y/o male that has had TS since the age of 6. I have chronic tics- mostly facial twitches and head jerks. But the head jerks always end up giving me a tension headache from the over-use of the muscles. I know of all the drugs that are out there but I am more interested in natural supplements–vitamins, herbs, amino acids, etc. If anyone has any information relating to this, I would love to hear your information, ideas and experiences. And I also wonder about the nicotine patch also — does this work? Thanks in advance for any help and information. Brian

Hola Brian! Nice to meet ya. I’m 31, with TS. I haven’t tried any natural ways to control my TS, but here’s a couple sites you can check out. http://members.aol.com/BonnieGr/index.html http://www.supernet.net/~jackibar/tourette.html Dominique

I am also interested in any natural herbs or diets that would help my son with Tourettes. My son has facial tics that cause pain in his jaw and give him headaches. He is on catapres. It was working for awhile but now he has these facial tics back. He is on catapres. are you on any medication? Please send me any information you may receive on this. Thanks
