Hey, How did you take out the artificial colors and flavors and preservatives...sounds complicated or a lot of special shopping. What are the main foods your child eats now. My kid eats many kid foods - fish sticks, chicken nuggets, tuna sandwiches, some fruit, some veggies, and many main dishes like steak, spegh., chicken, pork.... he does eat a couple of the kid cereals, gummies, popsickles and donuts and sweet tea as his sweets...Thanks!

Hey, I live in Harford County Maryland outside of Baltimore. Anyone know of a cooperative pediatrician or psychiatrist. I am pretty well connected with Johns Hopkins and have a really good pediatrician. I am going to email JH now and talk with Ped. as soon as I can get appt. and see what happens but I want a back up plan. We ruled out PANDAS once before but that was 18 months ago and my son's tic symptoms seemed to gradually get better. But he had Mono sometime between this past spring and July - titers tested high. Tics came back - I thought it was stress. Tic has faded again but now he walks around smelling his hands and his new school is seeing impulsive behaviors whereas his previous school saw none. I have always thought him to be anxious but I am really thinking it is PANDAS now. Thanks... Hello, I am just wondering what part of the country you are located in. I'm in the SF bay area, and am having a hard time finding a cooperative pediatrician. It looks like you've found someone that understands PANDAS issues. Thanks,Peggy I'm in Phoenix, Arizona and what I found was a pediatrician who was willing to learn and help me figure things out. It may help if you look for a DO (doctor of osteopathy). I don't know what makes them so different, but have found that they are usually great about listening to the patient and trying alternatives if they make sense.
