DanL Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hello New to the group. I have DD 6 and DS 7 both showing signs of PANS/PANDAS. OCD/ RAGES to start and subsided with abx. Wanted to know how many flares are seen from your child and how long they last (days , weeks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qannie47 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Welcome! Unfortunately, there is no easy way to answer your question. While much has been learned about Pandas/Pans, there are too many variables involved that can make each case quite unique. But to answer your question. I would say that the average flare can last 2 to 6 weeks. How many a child has depends on many variables as well. My son, his first year had about 4, each lasting about 5 weeks. He has received treatment, and now two years later, he has not had a big flare in 8 months. It is truly a healing process of the brain/immune system, and that takes time. I used to hope that my child would be the one case that went away and never returned....but that is just not how it works.
