Alex, I know this is a long shot and your son is grown. I hope he is doing well now. I stumbled upon this thread because I was searching if Cefdinir helps with PANDAS. My daughter is 9 and was prescribed this yesterday as they await strep results because she is sick. We did not have a conversation about PANDAS it just happened that she got sick as I was researching this. As I read more from your thread, I saw you live near Portland and I was shocked. That’s where I live. It would be incredible to hear advice from someone who lives in Maine and has walked through this. I have been suspecting PANDAS. She had a major strep infection in infancy and was hospitalized. Since, she has been my only child with horrible separation anxiety, OCD (esp at bed, building long routines that she wants me to participate in) rage and a lengthy struggle at school academically and with speech. I always thought, oh it’s anxiety and OCD but then I stumbled upon PANDAS and thought has she been struggling with this since infancy after that infection so there would be no “sudden onset”. The thing, is she fights it so hard at school and works so hard and is so kind by the time she gets home she is a wreck. If you are still on here I would love to get some advice about navigating PANDAS, living in Maine. Thank you! Fallon
