mar Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I have a question. My son and daughter both have tics. I assume they have ts since my husband tics. I am still looking and reading about pandas. My children do get strep at least twice a year. I always had it when I was a kid but no tics. I am on the ts site a lot but still worry and have pandas in the back of my head. Anyway I just haves question. When my kids get sick with strep or whatever it seems that they are more mellow. When they have a fever and on antibiotics their tics subside. Would this be normal with pandas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patric Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi mar, My son was misdiagnosed with ts due to tics when he really had pandas! When he was treated for pandas, the tics disappeared. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowingmom Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Because my DD10's tics (motor/vocal) disappeared with Abx, I assumed they were caused by bacterial infection. She has been under treatment for lyme/bartonella with an LLMD for 10 months now. She is 80% better, the tics have resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patric Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I agree. The fact that your children's tics subsided with abx is telling! I am not sure that happens with Tourette's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
