Hi,
We are new to the idea of PANDAS. My daughter has been doing a biomedical program for 18 months for aspergers and sensory problems but she developed OCD along the way and it is just out of control. We just started with a new nutritionist who asked us to do the strep culture and DNASE test. Haven't gotten the results yet. I have a question about my son though. He has been sick - threw up a few nights ago then seemed OK. Then woke with a sore throat and bad congestion - next day said he was OK. But his chronic eczema and congestion are bad. I am now wondering if he might have strep. Would his strep affect my daughter? Her really bad OCD started about a month ago when my son had a bout with what looked like a sinus infection but perhaps it was strep? My daughter does not get obvious sickness - just this extreme OCD and sensory sensitivities etc. She is so bad right now - I am wondering if I should have my son tested for strep. Sorry - tired and not sure I am making sense. The OCD is so hard to live with.
Also - our nutritionist suggested 5-HTP. How much do people take? She suggested taking a small amount several times a day. Just wondering how high I can go with it...
Thanks so much, Sandy
Sandy
