Hi.
I am new in this and i would like to share what i am going through with my son and also ask if there is any clinic or doctor in Europe who can diagnose and treat P.a.n.d.a.s.
My son was a happy social kid until the age of 6. At 5 he started behaving a bit strange. He had fear especially at night saying that he has bad thoughts and could not sleep. Sometimes during daytime he would also say." Mum iam afraid of myself because i think of bad things"
He often had tonsil infections and was on Augmentin and Zithromax.
We decided on tonsilectomy at the age of 6 because he had also sleeping apnea.
After the tonsilectomy we took home a different boy. He was full of fear. He would not go out of the house , would sit on our laps for hours and even afraid to go to the toillet. He was hallucinating and was crying for hours with no reason.
He would not speak much but was holding his head crying and asking for help.
Slowly he developed sensory problems a lot of anxiety , pulling his hair biting his hands and he has frequent urination which he cannot control also vocal tics and cannot find the words to speak.
His regression is very big. The doctor's diagnose was autism.
How can a child become like this at this age and so abrubt??
I live in a small island in Cyprus and no one had heard of P.A.N.D.A.S
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you
