Mirror Neurons/ sympathy pain

[PowPow]

Has anyone experienced this with their kid (or self) PANDAS or not?

My daughter, who most likely has PANDAS, and is on a steroid dose from a PANDAS doc right now, had a significant issue this evening.

She very suddenly fell to the floor and began flopping around and moaning in pain. She would only say her wrist hurt and that is was "ghost pain". Only when I offered to hold her to console her would she say anything else. She grabbed my arm and pulled me at top speed to her room. She told me that she saw (WEEKS ago) a TV show where a girl broke her wrist. She was feeling that pain. It was prolonged and she only slept when I brought her to my bed and held her until she fell asleep. She even held her arm like it was broken and was so very, very upset. I could not distract her. I offered heat, ice, back rubs,read books, sing songs, even advil and she just cried (no tears, though) that nothing would help and nothing I could do would make the ghost pains go away.

Any ideas-- is this a psychological/psychiatric/neurologic problem?
