My son 8 developed pandas (symptoms that he was originally diagnosed with at the Psychologist consisted of OCD, Ticks, BP and ADAD) last December after a whole house episode of strep last November. After months of teats, doctors, Immunologists, Cunningham's test, etc... we went ahead with IVIG 2 weeks ago.
Right after the treatment my sons pressured speech got immediately better but after a few days he started to studder again. His symptoms have been getting worse (but we are starting to ween him off Respertal).
The big question....
When have people noticed their child getting better? I have heard anywhere from 30 days of noticeable improvement up to a year.
He really can not be in a school setting and we are thinking about pulling him out for a period of time until he heals.
Thanks,
Eddie
