Buster Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has seen dyslexia or dysgraphia with their PANDAS child. Regards, Buster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michele Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 My son also has hyptonia, dysgraphia and visual discrimination issues. He is not crossing midline at age six and has sensory issues. Poor fine and gross motor skills too. Have you seen a correlation in PANDAS kids and motor skills? We tried to get him to ride a two wheeler for two years and just put the training wheels back on this week. His coordination is just not there yet. Plus he gets so freaked out about falling. He does OT twice a week which I think is helping. Thanks for the survey! Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has seen dyslexia or dysgraphia with their PANDAS child.

Caryn Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Check out this link. Scroll down to http://mindd.org/serendipity/archives.php/107-Disorders.html This foundation talks about underlying causes of immune dysfunction and gut-brain connections. There is no reference to PANDAS or tics, specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiredMom Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has seen dyslexia or dysgraphia with their PANDAS child. Regards, Buster I believe my dd has signs of dysgraphia. She just completed a comprensive, 3 day neuropsychological/educational battery of tests at CHC. I am very interested to see if if shows up in their results. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yank Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 dyslexia...dysgraphia....dyspraxia.....stuttering....dyscalculics...... panic attacks.....constant fidgeting.....arthritis....huge working memory issues, freaky fast & frequent skin reactions not unlike allergic reactions to almost anything & highly emotional sensitivity and outbursts!! all appeared in the YEARS (approx started 6/7 yrs old ) before it was recognised that her blood showed off the scale levels of strepto lysm-0- connected with the bodies over production of antibodies in response to streptococuss strep infections. Until then my little girl was extremely advanced in all areas & certainly showed no traits of any autistic type tendencies or on the spectrum. Was speaking fluently before 1year old & always communicated well & absorbed information well but was a little clumsy when first learnt to walk, occasionally would fall for first few years. Wasn't treated until 10yrs old with penicillin V & it is believed that she may have been suffering from repeated strep infections over years & that is why many symptoms still remain over 3 years since her diagnosis & treatment. But are less evident now....the recovery is very slow & unsure whether will go away completely or if my youngster will have some symptoms forever with occasional peaking episodes. Most doctors know nothing about PANDAS at all & so, although you visit the doctors repeatedly they are clueless about your childs issues. Its only when incidents become medical emergencies that you might get to see a specialist whom may know something about this. My child callapsed a few times & was shaking & stuttering bad with panic attacks. Should be more awareness around PANDAS as children can be left with life-long disabilities from it & it definitely becomes a barrier for ANY learning at all. My child now has problems remembering anything & learning anything at school is a struggle. For a long time my child couldn't do simple adding up eg 2 and 2 is 4, yet as she'd learnt her tables parrot fashion by a very young age, she still knew these but couldn't apply them even in a simple sum. Yes, it does get that bad if left untreated. Children laugh & cry uncontrollably without any apparent trigger, loose all friends, get very angry and depressed & quite often stop eating. Its a very serious condition for some if untreated & some come close to death through refusing to eat & communicate at all. Early detection is the best prevention.....it could be just a sore throat for a couple of days or a cut or bite that hasn't healed well. A family member may be a strep carrier etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
