So the latest rage in tic control is botox. It only works on the eyes and neck. It lasts for a few months and keeps the afflicted person from feeling the urge to tic, hence no neck stretches or blinks.

But all those chemicals. And a shot in the eye? Really?

One person I know said her son, who has a high thresh hold for pain, practically slid off the table and howled in an agonizing wail she'll never forget.

I won't do that to Stink for two reasons:

1. He doesn't mind his tics. 
2. If my wrinkled face can't afford botox at this time, you can bet your sweet mother he isn't getting any either.

Anyone consider this - for your kids' tics (or for yourself?) I'd love to hear some feedback - pros and cons.
