Hi Everyone,
Just joined this forum and hope somebody can help us. We have a 9 yr old boy who is displaying alot of the "known" symptoms associated with PANDAS. We live in Ireland and are having difficulty getting anybody in the Medical Community to recognise this illness. All they want to do is pidgeonhole him in the "Tourettes Syndrome" category.
Over the past couple of years we have been able to correlate bouts of Strep Infection with extreme tics and behavour/anxiety issues.
We would like to speak to other parents in the same position and to share knowledge, treatments etc. We would also be interested in knowing if there are Doctors in the UK (inc. Northern Ireland) who specialise and treat children with PANDAS.
Thank You
