The OCD symptoms have been so much better, Hi Melony -- on a good note, my OCD 11 y.o. daughter (non-PANDAS) just had strep and I noticed no changes in her OCD. Also, the chances of catching it are slimmer than I'd have thought -- our doc said she'd have had to share cups or food or " swapped spit " with someone in order to pass it along. (I'd been concerned because my daughter had performed in a musical the day before she was diagnosed). Our neighbor had it, too, at the same time -- the same doctor said she could be in the play on the same night she was diagnosed as long as she didn't have a fever. I'd always thought they were contagious until having 24 hours of antibiotics, but maybe not. Anyway, I hope your dd doesn't get it!!
