OCD, PANDAS


Guest Sara

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I have a cousin, 4th grade, very smart, giving, loving girl.

Unfortunately, she has PANDAS and deals with OCD also.

She washes her hands until they are red and very dry, she

is constantly watching the clock to keep to her 'routine', she

is extremely clingy to her mother, BUT THE WORST THING IS

she hardly eats at all. She always watches the clock to see that

she eats at the same time every day for exactly one hour. But,

she eats extremely slow, and only pinches of bread or peanut butter.

Her weight has dramatically decreased and she is not gaining weight.

 

Has anyone else had children that experience these same symptoms

of not eating? Any suggestions or advice?

Hi, Sara--

 

I hope this is not to late, that you will see this.

 

Tamar Chansky has started a website that might have information or resources that can help this girl. Please check it out:

Best wishes, Sheila
