I'm new here. My daughter's been treated for PANDAS for a couple of months. She's on Aug and Azith and just finished a Prednisone taper for a flare due to a sinus infection. A week and a half ago she started feeling awful and after describing her symptoms, the nurse thought is was possibly the flu. Since then she's left the house twice and both times got physically panicky. She says her body gets panicky and tight and she gets physical pain from that and she's scared of the pain.
Well, we have a drs appt today to see what he can do, but she refuses to leave the house. My husband thinks she needs to see a psychiatrist ASAP but our past attempts at psych meds made things worse, so I'm trying to find someone who's familiar with PANDAS.
So, how can I calm her enough to go to the dr (he's an hour away)?
How can I find an appropriate psychiatrist and psychologist nearby? We live in Queens, NY- near Nassau county.
Thanks for your help!
