Tourettes
4 Answers
My daughter was diagnosed with having a tic about a year ago, but I think it has developed into tourettes as she sniffs uncontrollably every few minutes and makes involuntary noises, can anyone advise? Obviously I will take her to the doctors, just wanted people's views and some background information, thanks in advance

I was very worried and I spoke to the doctor. I didn't take my son as I didn't want him thinking it was a big deal, and worrying more. my son was quite insecure at the time and worried excessively about everything. the doctor suggested we ignored all the tics, and it did stop.
he's almost 13 now and still very irritating at times.. but no tics ;o)
good luck with your daughter x

Thanks very much, after doing some research, it seems she may be lacking in Magnesium, so I'm going to ask the GP about Floradix Magnesium Liquid Mineral Supplement 250ml, I know fresh vegetables would be better, but she's ever so fussy like a lot of children these days (I ate what I was given as a child) Thanks again.
