Re: PANDAS and bladder urgency, thyroid...

[Guest guest]

Hi, it seems like a lot of kids go thru this. Feeling they have to

pee or not sure if they have to. Some worry about getting undies

damp, often change.... I don't think an actual bladder infection

would trigger OCD, but you might want to rule out an actual bladder

infection. Or give her cranberry juice this week.

There was a parent here quite a while ago whose child (son I think)

had OCD and it did turn out that his thyroid problems apparently

caused it; got the thyroid problem cleared up and the OC behaviors

stopped. I did have my son's thyroid checked but fell within normal

(my mom had either hypo or hyper...)
