PANDAS or regular TS -- which could be a relief?

[kg5123]

Some doctors see my son as PANDAS and others just as regular TS.

Being PANDAS or regular TS -- which is better for the patient?

Should the parents sigh a relief when their child is declared PANDAS or declared TS?

Anyone has any insight in this very fundamental but elusive problem?

Thank for comments.

Our issue has always been OCD or PANDAS - but I'll tell you our thought process. I used to wonder a LOT which was "better", wonder what I hoped for. Now I am not sure that it matters. All that matters in the end, is finding out which, and treating and accepting appropriately. Mostly, I just want my daughter to have a happy life - and whatever that means learning to deal with, or learning to overcome or treat. I just want to know (and to stop spinning in circles) - and somedays that seems to be too lofty of a goal! We are past the point of wanting a cure - now we just want remissions and treatment plans that let her live her life. I hope that makes sense. Susan (Meg's Mom)
