Hi Laurie

 

yes, I have seen your post re PANDAS on the other thread and yes, I do think you need to check into your son possibly having these tics related to PANDAS

 

here is info on PANDAS from the NIMH

http://intramural.nimh.nih.gov/pdn/web.htm

 

as we didnt have a PANDAS situation, Iam not the best person to give you info on this

Ronna and ad_cll (Alison) know a whole bunch more about it than I do

 

also a search for the subject under their user names by using the search feature at the very top right of the page will bring up loads of info

 

 

I have to go out, but hope the others will post more info for you soon...and do please just keep asking specific questions

 

remember too that a strep throat swab alone is NOT ENOUGH to show a PANDAS dx...it must be a blood test to show the strep antbodies as explained in that other thread...in your case however, a throat swab is necessary to show if you have the strep throat and for him too.....but the thraot swab will not be enough to show whether he has PANDAS (hope that was explained clearly)

 

back later
