Also it seems for some kids the combination of all the shots can have neurological impact
My son has genetic Tourette Syndrome and l-carnitine was very helpful for his vocal tics, while omega 3s are excellent all round (some kids with TS seem to tic more when given fish oil for omega 3 and do better on flaxseed oil)
have you tried epsom salts baths? (2 cups in tub warm water, soak for 20 min) The magnesium sulfate in the salts seems to have both calminative and detoxing properties for kids with tics.
hoping that things stabilize for your son and that this is just a transient tic

Thank you for responding. I'm going to try flaxseed oil and epsom salts. His shots included varicella, MMR,IPV and DTaP. I'm so angry right now. I feel as if I allowed myself to be bullied into these shots by a community that won't allow children in Kindergarten without them.
My son has also been sweating after he goes to sleep. The house is normal temp and he seems okay all day but when I have checked on him (an hour or so after falls asleep) his hair and pillow are wet. My gut says this is his body detoxing and I've tried to encourage water and gatoraide. Any other suggestions? I've also seen the word Panda and was wondering what that stood for. Thanks, Sandy
