Guest guest Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Daughter has been diagnosed with OCD for a year and a half...never really considered PANDAS since I have OCD myself. Her symptoms did come on suddenly last year at the start of the school year. She never had a sore throat or was sick, so we wrote off PANDAS...but now I'm thinking we may be overlooking something and feel that it is at least something to investigate. I have an appointment for March 31 with an allergist/immunologist that in our area treats PANDAS kids. I called the nurse line and asked if it was indeed PANDAS would they TREAT it, being that our Ped is not on board with the whole PANDAS idea. Nurse said they would treat it and many have been happy with her. I do have myself prepared that it may not indeed be PANDAS, but worth investigating...my daughter also had VSD, so a strep infection running around in her body is NOT a good thing at all!!! Can anyone give me some heads up on what tests to suggest??? And maybe some questions to ask. I hope and pray that someday this is all a thing of the past!!!
