....my other thought is that my boys didn't inherit any As from their (now deceased) Turkish Dad, if he had any As. I think I had/have PANDAS, so don't think it all is wrapped up in the AAs or AGs.

I wonder if the "PANDAS" kids in that study were actually garden-variety OCD.

My PANDAS son and I are both GG and my son is part Turkish, though mostly German/English/French/Scandanavian.

My 8-year old son also is constantly putting things in his mouth - he didn't used to do that. I thought maybe he's teething - getting molars or something. Didn't realize it could be PANDAS related. It also can be a sensory processing thing, which overlaps with PANDAS, doesn't it?

We've been using Andrographis for about 3 weeks now. It got my son out of a really bad exacerbation triggered by the flu. Has anyone else used it and what was your experience? I first heard of it in a post in one of these forums on latitudes but haven't been able to locate that post. I can't say enough good about our experience with it. The only side effect I've noticed is that in lowers blood sugar, so I've been giving my son a low dose of Chromium Picolinate, as well. I'd like to compare notes with others on this.
