Help in Georgia

[mom md]

A high school friend called me tonight and her son most likely has PANDAS (sounds like a text book case). Her school nurse suggested it which I thought was unbelievable...the word is spreading. Her son had OCD, anxiety, tics, panic attacks, and now a fear of throwing up which all developed after a sterp infection. Sounds like some minor symptoms may have been there before this latest exacerbation. She lives in Atlanta. Does anyone know a doctor in that area?

Thanks

I found this on Beth Maloney's FB list (so I don't know if anyone here can vouch for these folks?):

Hi MOM.and EAmom...

i am not sure if that was the psychatrist i called..i did not think my ds needed a pych doc, but if willing to accept pandas then maybe could help me else where...

when i called office...they had no idea what i was talking about...

again might be different doc...but just see if the doc has any clue...i did not feel like educatiing someone and then have them tell me its controversail....

 

i have a great ped /gp in alpharetta..not an expert, but a believer and does what he can w/i parameters....

oddly ..my ds8 is friends with family who was supposed to be part of sweedo study 10 years ago....so i have some other contacts she listed for me...but have not followed up as i am going other directions currently...

if you want to give her my contact that would be fine...

If she can go out of state, I believe Dr. Murphy (Florida) has been helpful to others...
