Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I find this very interesting, because my older daughter and my husband have strep right now. My daughter with OCD never ever shows any major symptoms with strep ,ust a sore throat for a day or two.My older daughter is sick in bed when she has it so I know she is ill. My son has a fever of 103.6 right now and the doctor did not test him for strep today.He has OCD also. The doctor said he had a virus. Do the titers go down after the symptoms subside , so you never know if it's PANDAS? Hugs Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
