  1. My Lighthouse I am sorry your DD is going through this. i am going to look up that book you mentioned. Thank you to everyone for responding!
  2. Thank you MomwithOCDson. I remember you from a few years back. Your explanation makes sense and yes Colitis is autoimmune. It's right in front of my face but sometimes I think I just needed to hear it again. I need to be back on this forum and converse with all the smart moms! Tomorrow we have ANOTHER IEP meeting to discuss DS and the possibility of attending school 1/2 days. Thank you again!
  3. We have not had any immune tests in a while. I have not been on this forum for quite a few years. Not that I didn't need to be. DS is 14 and in eighth grade and I am about to pull him from school because he can't handle it anymore. He was just recently diagnosed with Colitis. We used to ride the roller coaster but not anymore. He has had no relief in months. I know the inflammation from Colitis can be causing the OCD, anxiety and depression but my gut tells me there's more to it. Right now he is on Steroid Taper (only been on steroids twice and a long time ago) and just started on Effexor. The GI Doc agreed to prednisone and then to get him to immunologist after. He is 5'10 and 115 lb bag o' bones. Any more words of advice would be appreciated. Thank u for responding.
  4. Can anyone tell me what experience they have with other infections that may cause OCD? No Lyme here.
  5. Anyone take their child to Dr Anju Usman in Naperville, IL? DS was a patient of hers about 3 years ago. Just wondering if she has changed her tune towards antibiotics and/or if anything else has changed. Thanks.
  6. I would love a copy too! Thanks for posting! Ann
