philamom Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Being without power due to hurricane and dealing with a child in a flair, my mind is mush right now. Looking for some easy to understand articles on PANDAS for dd's teacher. Need to keep it light since I am dealing with some non-believers within school system. I printed the article from ocdfoundation.org. I'm looking for one that explains further flairs (not major onset) with illness, exc. Another day dragging my daughter crying into school with deer in the headlights look - all for 2 1/2 hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowPow Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I would be interested as well~ one of my children is now going to school also and I would love to have something to hand the very kind principal. I am thinking of the recent Boston Globe article, as it is very reader-friendly and interesting== not too much into the controversy & medical angle. any other suggestions?

Another day dragging my daughter crying into school with deer in the headlights look - all for 2 1/2 hrs Pull the info that shows the direct correlation with sydenhams chorea. Schools take this diagnosis seriously. I talk more "autoimmune of the brain" in general and mention pandas less. Sydenhams is a know autoimmune brain disease and in the same family as pandas Sorry I just read you don't need onset info.... I just make a list of the craziness we live during flare and tell them to expect the worst all the time I can tell its coming within hours by pupils and handwriting degradation.
