Daughter's constant blinking/teenage
Hi all, my daughter is 12 and have had problems with her eyes for years. When she was 3-4 years old, she started squeezing her eyes and continuosly blinking. I was told it may be from worms. These symptomps disappeared and came back a few months ago. In between she's been rolling her eyes, blinking and squeezing them off and on. A year and a half ago acne started. Her skin is oily and she has a lot of dandruf. She is crunching her teeth when she sleeps too. Please help with a remedy.Thank you.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Do you ride her about the blinking and squeezing? I once knew a child like this. Each time her mother would tell the child to stop (....) the child would change to another thing like lifting the eyebrows instead, etc.
I am not accusing. You said nothing about yourself, I am guessing and asking. Many mothers have no idea they are doing it. I am asking to find out if something like this is happening. Find other ways of communication with her. This is the most difficult time of her life if she is a sensitive person. From the twitching, she must be. I do not feel there is anything wrong with her eyes.
This goes for other members of the family also. They must be told not to tease and bully her. Each should be forbidden to even make mention of the twitches.
When she was 3-4, something happened, maybe only teething, that may have caused the twitch. Then she was happily distracted by growing up and school, etc. That was fun, but this new REAL growing up is a whole new ball game.
Now, what has happened in her life that has made her feel less than she did? It could be as simple as becoming closer to being a woman. Has she had a period yet? This positivly grosses out some youngsters. You have to admit, it is not the most pleasant thing to get used to?
Something has happened to break down her self confidence. This is an excellent time to get her to talk to you before she becomes a REAL teenager.
Try your best to get her to tell you how she feels and what is on her mind. Ask what makes her feel scared. Be sure and ask what makes her feel strong and brave.
Has she had a sexual experience, no matter how minor that may have frightened her? Is she hiding a secret she needs a mother to tell it to who will not freak, but take it calmly, quietly without judgment?
I am not meaning anything particular, I am fishing around from other people's activities over the years as examples of possible fears or anxieties she may have.
Twitches and teeth grinding are symptoms of stress. Acne is coming into her teen years and her little body is becoming a woman much before she is ready to face it emotionally.
If you can tell us more about her as an individual, a personality with likes and dislikes, we will better be able to choose a good remedy to ease her stress. Pills are not the only answer. She has to respect and love herself and be rid of the false guilt and shame that society puts on women.

Thank you for the repaly Sabra. My daughter is very sensitive person. She has always been, and I've realized that we have to be very cautious about it. Yes, I had a period when I was riding her about the twiching, but I figured that it does no good. I talk to her and try to talk to her calmly so that she doesn't get offended or upset. I try to step in her shoes and do the things her way, but have to admit that I'm probably not doing it very well or not often enough. I have noticed that if there is an event in her life she will start doing this more often, but then other times there would be no change even if something significant is happening, so I wasn't sure how is this affecting the problem. She had her period last year. It was very emotional for her of course. I had talked to her prior to that so it wasn't like she didn't know anything about it, but again it was a big change in her life. Now she is taking it better (even talks in front of her dad about it). What confuses me is that when she got her period there was no twitching and nothing like that. It happened months after that. Recently though she had problems with school (grades) and I have been very tough on her about it. I tried to talk to her about it, I've tried punishment and it doesn't seem to work very well. Since we stopped dicussing it she's brought good grades now. She very much likes to be praised for everything she is doing and we are both trying to do that to make her comfortable and stimulate her to do better.
I'm pretty sure she has not had sexual expereience. We talk about it and explain to her many things. We are trying to be very open and to talk about these things the way a teenage will so that she doesn't get uncomfortable. We want her to know more so that she is not surprised one day, and so that she knows how to protect herself.
I relize that I don't have enough time to spend with her which is a mistake, but when we talk she will tell me things about boys and school even if she knows that they are wrong, which makes me think that she is comfortable talking to me, but... I'm still not sure what exactly the problem is. Thank you for the discussion. It makes me feel better, and I hope to be able to help her with that, because I think it will come to the point where other kids at school will start teesing her about it and it will be hard ( she has said that nobody says anything now).
Thank you again.

What a good report! With you for her mother she should get on well. Be prepared for anything when she becomes a "real" teenager.
Ask questions..."would you like to have some tuturing?" (for her from an older teen) Instead of laying down the law. It worked this time, but not when she is older and more resistant. Always ask questions about what she would like to do. When she becomes too resistant you will have to negotiate the rules of cooperation for both of you.
Assure her you will always stand by her no matter what happens. And, if something does...do it, no matter how hard. She is just before needing you to "prove" yourself to her so you two do not become accidental enemies.
If you two are doing well as it seems, if she twitches, you could smile big and "twitch back" instead of saying anything. Laughter will lighten her sensitivity.
If you can, be more relaxed and do unexpected things to startle her to knowing you as a person instead of always "the mother." Buy a long dress. At holloween, buy a feather boa. Get hair streaked or wear a fake pony tail, even if it is only for around the house. Something unexpected. You may find a hidden person in yourself!
This gives her silent permission to be herself, and someone interesting may begin to show up. Bear with it, it may be hard to take at first.
I was always a little wild. I am an artist and was a life guard. I loved bikes. I was a tomboy. I tought every child in the neighborhood how to drive. I encouraged my sons to say anything they wanted to me, BUT they better be darn careful HOW they said it!!
Well, I was never so surprised the day my second son, at 13, ask me how to kiss a girl!! I stayed serious and said, "but, I don't kiss girls, ask your father." He insisted. So, we went to McDonalds and spent 3 hours in the back talking about how I liked to be kissed. He wasn't embarrassed at all. BUT, when he was 16 he wouldn't even walk down the street with me!!
You see how it changes daily, so get the foundation in now and "maybe" it will continue to hold things together later.
Shyness and sensitivity is hard to figure. Is it lack of self worth? Or is it hidden anger? Is it growing pains?
Whenever she looks nice in some way, take her to her mirror and point out all the good things you see. NEVER any other thing. Never improvement. Just the good things. She will automatically improve with the "good" mirror.
Does she have a kitty or dog. These are a great comfort. Encourage her to teach them tricks. Other kids think this is wonderfully smart.
There are many remedies for stress and sensitivity, but at this time she may not be ready to "lean" on outside help but her regard of herself.
Maybe a bottle of BACH Rescue Remedy from the health store. When she has a bad moment and it seems hard to get past, take half a dropper and she will feel better. It is very safe.
Not good to take to school unless she is VERY careful. Schools are very freaky about meds now, no matter what they are.
Let us know if there is anything more that turns up you may need help with for her or the family.

Sabra, I can't tell you how well I feel after reading your posts. I'm confused though. My daughter is even worst sice yesterday and today too. She can't keep her face straight from twitching. I've done the twitching back and she gets upset when I do it, so I stopped. I forgot to tell you in a previous post that she seems to have seasonal allergy. In the summer and fall she was sneezing and sniffing a lot so her pediatrician prescribed some allergy medicines. She stopped them a few months ago and now is doing well with that. I wander if this may contribute to her stress or to increase or cause the twitching somehow? Sabra, you are such a good councelor. Thank you for all the advices and warm words. It seems to cure my stress too. It is a pleasure to talk to you. I haven't been in the States too long and am not sure about where to find the remedy you are talking about. I ususally go to Whole Foods store where they sell homeopathic remedies. Do you think they will have it there? I'll check tomorrow morning anyway. Do you think it is a good idea to buy something for her acne and what?
I will try to incorporate all of your advices and will keep you posted on how it goes. If you don't mind to keep answering my posts it would be great. Thank you much and blessings for you too Sabra.

I will continue to write as long as you wish. The RR is very common in any health store.
Thank you for letting me know I gave some comfort. You are very welcome.
Please set the acne on the back burner for now as it is a symptom, but not a "cause." If we can find a possible cause and the remedy is good, the acne will improve.
If there IS an unusual or hidden allergy, you will have to be a PI and try to discover it. She will need to watch what she eats and drinks and then if in a length of time, hours or half day or the next day, if the twitching is more, you both need to look back to see what has happened before the increase.
Check if she is sensitive to perfume or cleaning things. Do you know that people are allergic to "natural" things?? If one is allergic, they are allergic!!
Has anyone purchased any new perfume, deordrant, bath soap, hair stuff? If you use incense, is it a new type or from where you come from? Any new smelly candles?
I have a client with asthma, enviromental illness and diabetes that cannot be touched with smell or be around plain rubbing alcohol. She will scream for hours from the burning pain in the lungs.
She has so many problems and allergies, and she does not do well with H. It brings it all to the surface and she is so sick she will end up in the hospital. She has been "balanced" by allopathic medicine, if you can call it that, for so many years, I cannot treat her.
Now...what did the doctor give her for allergy? A presc. or over the counter stuff?? This may be the clue we are looking for. I won't know the presc. but it will be good to know which was used. Also, what were her symptoms before treatment? Most important!
Go back to when she was little and try to remember what was happening when she twitched as a youngster.
Ask your daughter to put her finger to the back of the row of her teeth, the last ones to see if her wisdom teeth (4)are coming in and are sore.
Does she have any headaches, no matter how minor? Any nasal distress? Does she actually have any eye distress or just the twitching?
You see the facial nerves may be causing the twitch and even though the eyes blink, this doesn't mean it is "from" the eyes. Ask her if the eyes actually disturb her or they just twitch of their own accord. Does she have any jaw discomfort?
After the news of the possible allergy, the facial twitch may well be her particular outward response instead of rash or sneezing.
Have you ever had her to a chiropractor? Get one recommended (if you wish) and see if her crainial nerves, base of skull are all in order.
Go back in your mind to your original country and think of what may be different for her that is TOO different, like water? vegies, does she drink sodas...diet?? Stop now!! no diet anything! There are 5 diet sweetners on the market that are all the same thing. They call it different names to trick the public. The patent has run out and it is against the law to continue to use it, but someone is paying someone under the table.
What about smells in the home? Any new carpet? Very allergic. Did you buy a home here, or are renting? Are you near birds?
When you moved here was the change in living very different?? If it is, think about what the differences are.
I have to stop, the net is turning me off...hate that!!

Sabra,
Yes, I'd like you to continue to write. I do not use incense in the house. I also do not have any candles around the house ecxept for one of the bathrooms, but she doesn't even use it. No new smells or perfums.
I'm trying to go back and remember if there are any significant changes since she started to twitch again and can't think of anything significant. I'll keep trying though.
For the allergies the doctor gave her over the counter pills (claritin) and nasonex spray. She is not taking anything now and she has no problems whith sneezing.
When she was younger I've been watching her and couldn't figure out what made her stop. She was doing it last summer again, stopped for a few months and stareted again. Now is very bad.
I have never been to a chiropractor. I will consider this and will take her to one. I just have to find a good one.
Going back to my country, she enjoys being here, but also likes to go back there. She goes back every summer and stays with our relatives and actually loves it. I don't think she is missing anything besides grandmas and nephews (relatives). But I should probably say she is not missing them bad, just she wishes that they were here, and when a friend calls her she is her world already.
Her "grown up" life has started here and she enjoys it. No major changes in lifestyle since we moved here. We bought a house and she has her own room with most everything she wants (she is not demanding at all). Very good girl.
As to the diets, she doesn't eat much, I should probably say she doesn't eat enough, but that is the way she has always been. I try to cook healthy so that she has enough nutrients. No fast food and no diets. I buy all regular food (recently started buying orgaic food as much as I can).
Thank you Sabra.

Very good, not a prescription. Over the counter not good, but not as bad to surpress the symptoms.
Allopathic meds push symptoms "down" or "into" the body. Called suppression. This may be the reason it is showing it's head again. Meds have worn off. The body is very self-cleansing. Many times it shows on the outer skin...this is good. Annoying, but good.
What about:
Nasal distress
Jaw discomfort
Past skin conditions
Teeth/gum discomfort
Birds
Do eyes have any feelings or
just twitch? Light hurt?
Good eating habits. If it is a life long habit we can worry less about eating disorders. People can get along very well on vastly less than we consume.
I have found two "twichy eye" remedies so far. Can't decide just on this one symptom. Have to compare the whole person. Need you to continue to report.

Hi Sabra,
She says that she feels her eyes very dry and the need to rub them all the time (although she doesn't) that is why she is twiching so much. Light doesn't bother her.
No gum/teeth discomfort. No birds in the house. She has no nasal distress except for the times when "allergies" are around. I have noticed though that every morning she is stuffed, but after clearing her nose she is better.
She has no past conditions of skin or jaw issues.
I have asked her to try to notice if there is something that makes her eyes twitch more and she said she will, but the problem is she doesn't even notice most of the times she is doing it.
I haven't noticed any significant change in the last few days and she is doing worse than the last week.
Thank you Sabra.

Does she have a new (or old) feather pillow or cover?
A new winter Jacket?
Does she have a favorite very old bed pillow?
Any new things in her room? A new rug, curtians, paint, new furniture, etc.
The one symptom that seems possible is the waking up with it. And dry eyes.
Check around and see if anything rings a bell.

She doesn't have a feather pillow or cover, but a new winter jacket (not feather though). Her room was completely redone last summer. I have to make her stay in a different room for a while may be??
I'll check around. Thank you Sabra.

I forgot about a feather blanket which I made her put away. I'll wach her.
Do you have an idea of a remedy or is it still early to say what to take?

It is like she is so vague it is hard to decide which. I keep looking, but I keep thinking it is outside of herself. I am not putting you off, I really am giving it all I can.

I didn't mean you are putting me off, not at all. Thank you for discussing this with me. I keep looking for things that might be the reason too.
It is just too obvious lately. Last night when we sat at the dinner table she couldn't keep keep her face straight for 3 seconds. She is twitching more often than a person would blink.
I appreciate your help. Thank you.

I was trying to reasure you, I feel for her. Sometimes I feel remiss in the time taken.
AGARICUS MUSCARIUS 1M is a remedy that seems a possible help. Many symptoms point to the condition. Mezereum is another, but didn't seem as close. Good to try if the AM does not help enough. At least two weeks between remedies. By that time, I may have found another.
Please put one dose in a bottle of drinking water so she can carry it with her. Sip all day. This way she can have it without the school going into freak out.
IF there is any increase in symptoms, it is the right remedy. Begin giving only at home twice daily. When there is an increase, this is a good sign and one gives less so the patient is not uncomfortable. If too much cut the dosage to once per day or once every other day.
You will be able to decide this from the discription above. NOW, the remedy may not show ANY response and the condition gets better. This is the other side of how homeopathy works.
Keep the blanket away for a month (if she is better.) and then give it back. If there is a return of symptoms, you will have new information of what affects your daughter.
Please let us know.

IF there is any increase in symptoms, it is the right remedy. Begin giving only at home twice daily. When there is an increase, this is a good sign and one gives less so the patient is not uncomfortable. If too much cut the dosage to once per day or once every other day.
You will be able to decide this from the discription above. NOW, the remedy may not show ANY response and the condition gets better. This is the other side of how homeopathy works.
Keep the blanket away for a month (if she is better.) and then give it back. If there is a return of symptoms, you will have new information of what affects your daughter.
Please let us know.
Blessings, Sabra

Thank you Sabra. I ordered it.
I'm just not sure how am I going to figure out that the remedy works if the symptoms are increasing. How long after giving it there should be any effect?
She told me last night that she noticed that the twitching is less since I took the blanket away (now she is crying like a baby for it).
Thank you Sabra

When one gives a remedy, one has no idea the following activity unless it shows, or not. If not, watch for healing. Continue sipping.
If shows as increase of sym, in this case, stop to watch for two days before the next one dose, then again watch. 1M is a high potency.
It is difficult when anyone is emotionally attached to something. No matter the age.
She needs to fully understand the purpose of this test. One month is long enough.
These emotions are not good for the treatment progress.
Maybe you two can go shopping for a substitute of another colorful blanket that she chooses for herself that does not contain wool or feathers.
Try for cotton and fiberfill. She also needs to realize this would be an easier item to wash. She must learn her own limits for her future. Not easy for a 12 year old.
Crying for the blanket is also crying that she must grow up and accept certain things. Crying because she is becoming a woman and perhaps she would like to be a "safe" child a little longer.
Were you able to get the Bach Rescue Remedy? Add a dropper to bottle of remedy. Don't tell her, let it work silently. Let her see you prepare the remedy.
One doesn't want to teach that medicine is the answer for all things. One needs to grow up and use one's mind to make good choices and love of self.
Continue to "care" for her, with a "little" more matter of fact attitude. Too much coddling will reenforce more tears. Sort of "tough love."
Reaffirm the one month only, and then IF she is allergic to it at end of the month, she will realize this upon returning it to her. AND she has her substitute.
Please continue to post.

We are going shopping on the weekend for another blanket. Already solved this issue. She fully understands why am I doing it and is not opposing my actions, but I guess she was very attached to it.
I ordered the remedy online and am waiting fot it to come. How should I dose it? Would it have instructions on the package?
Yes, I found Bach Remedy and will give her some. You are right, she likes to seek answers for all her aches in medicines and I always have to explain that medicine is not solution for every problem.
Thanks for keeping in contact Sabra. I'll post progress.

Never ever believe what the label on a H. bottle says or follow those directions. I have never found them to be accurate. It is general, not individual.
You are doing a good job, let us pray she will follow your example as she matures.

Sorry I've been missing for a while Sabra.
I couldn't find the dilution you reccomended in the closest stores and ordered it online. Big mistake. I got it 10 days after that, but anyway. I started giving it and am waiting to see how she will respond.
I'm giving one dose dissolved in a bottle of water so she can sip on it all day.
I'll post any changes

I've been giving the remedy for a week the way you prescribed it. She goes to school with her bottle every day but I haven't noticed any changes.
Is there anything I should be expecting? Is this enough time to know whether the remedy works or not?
Thank you for the help.

Hi, Maybe no symptoms, but a slow easing of blinking. Easier emotions.
Almost time to return the blanket? That will tell you something.
I lost my server for 3 days. Hope it is fixed for good.
Let me know.

Hi Sabra,
I'm glad you are back and hope your server is fixed. Thanks froe replaying.
If I give her the blanket back and the symptoms increase should I continue with this remedy , or should I try Mezereum?
Thanks

Has it been more than a week on the AGARICUS MUSCARIUS 1M? It should have showed some signs of improvement by now. If it has been more than the week lets wait a little.
Is it time to return the blanket? If she shows allergic responses to it, this will be a good time to begin the MEZEREUM.
It is sort of inbetween right now, and unless she shows a sensitivity to feathers, we will have to continue to search. If the feathers are the culprit, you will know this for her future.
Wait at lease 5 days between giving a new remedy. I know I am saying several things, but most depends on your report.
Keep posting, I will check.

Thank you for responding Sabra,
It has been two weeks since she is taking the AGARICUS MUSCARIUS. She has improved, but still twitching. It is not as bad as it was, very seldom and she is not squeezing her eyes as hard as she was before.
Just few days ago she started sneezing and sniffing (may be because of her allergies??) and I was wandering what to give this time. She was ready to go back to her Nasonex, but I asked her not to. What would you suggest?
I'll give the blanket and see what happens.
Thank you
