Guest guest Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Beth, That doctor you saw is very ignorant and misinformed. There are well known doctors working right now to prove that PANDAS is as real as any other disorder. For a doctor to say that strep cannot cause changes in the basal ganglia is ridiculous b/c it has already been proven over and over again with MRI's of inflamed basal ganglia in kids with strep/PANDAS. Neurologists tend to be the bniggest " disbelievers " . If you need contact info for doctors who treat, let me know.
