it may be wise to have strep antibody blood titres run just to be sure.
My son has successfully used GABA for anxiety (short term) and has been taking Inositol for many years now to help his OCD

thanks, Chemar~!
We went to the naturopath as he is on some taurine, B6, and another helpful amino acid. The only thing is: I'm not seeing it reducing his tics. He takes the kid's calm at night and some epsom salts baths when I can get him to do it! I have just purchased the Calm with magnesium, calcium, and zinc now b/c his naturo said his calcium was low(she did an in-office urine test). So, I need to check with her to see if I can add inositol for the OCD or some extra taurine for the tics! I feel like my kid is an experiment! But, I'm hoping some positive changes will come out of this!
