SarahJane Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I just had the thought that maybe there's something more at play with the voice thing. Some of you may remember when we were talking a few months ago about increased urination (which IS a symptom) that many of us recalled increase thirst at the time too. And I've read that strep can mess with the kidneys. Maybe there's something happening in the auditory system (especially since so many of the PANDAS kids are sensitive to sound like my ds). I know it's all brain, but maybe there's something specific that could be a marker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpotter Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Sounds like a sensory modulation issue, which has to do with the "quality" of something (loud/soft, throwing hard/soft, etc.) Because it's a sensory issue, it very well may be related to PANDAS.

browneyesmom Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Interesting thread as this has been one of the things on my plate more and more recently... my DD11 has aphasia during episodes sometimes, yet she is able to write what she wants to communicate - just not speak. Then, it starts to return, but her words are garbled for another phase, then it returns to normal. During severe episodes of aggression, she sometimes has a guttural, very controlled voice when she threatens. Do others see this too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
