Dear friend,
Sorry for your trials. Please check out Dr. Sims and Dr. Stacks appliance for Tourette's Syndrome.
I started a thread "Tourette's Cure - Worked for Me" on this site that outlines what it is, and give some links to academic papers and their website.
I have never actually dealt with them directly. An orthodontic specialist in BC, Canada did the appliance for me, and it worked beautifully.
I went from being overwhelmed by tics, to having, nearly, none. No medication, nothing.
hope it helps.

I have heard about this lab but have not contacted them yet. Does your child have genetic TS? Sandy
go up to your sons school and tell them your concerns about the DiSCRIMINATION your son is recieving.your son has the intelligence to learn just as the other kids do,he has a right to an uninteruppted learning environment just like any student.if they patronize you,and do nothing-kick up some dust.go to the board,news,-whatever it takes to increase awareness.the school should have a speaker(assembly)to educate themselves as well as the students.most schools have a zero tolerance for bullying-this could fall into that category.the school receives tax dollars for your child as well as the others.in this country our children have a right to an education.if your son is getting harassed,its simply because the schools staff is allowing it.dont accept the under funding-or budget excuse.dont accept any excuse.if the school sends the message harassment toward your child will not be tolerated,things should change rather quickly.put the pressure on-you have too,your son only has you.
I have ts and a lot of other medical problems that come with it. Something that has REALLY helped me with my symptoms is Neurofeedback. It is a type of therapy where the doctor puts these electrodes to differnent parts or your head dependind on the part of the brain that needs to be relaxed or stimulated. This has done miracles for me. For my tics,depression, and anxiety. I recommend it.
I am not a doctor, but a Mom with an 11 year old with TS. I encourage you to go to Great Plains Laboratory's website and order their lab panel for Tourette Syndrome. You would not believe the issues we discovered about my son's underlying health through these tests that were causing his tics. Now he is totally off of his tic medicine and is controlling his symptoms through diet and supplements. I would also encourage you to find a good environmental physician (go to the Academy of Environmental Physician's website to fine one in your area. My son is so much healthier and happier than when he was on tic medicine (which never totally controlled his tics). ACN's website www.latitudes.org is another great one. Best of luck to you!!
