that's what happened with Micah, just touching cabinet doors, then doors and

drawers the next year, then this year....man it just exploded, doorways,

rugs...plus all the old ones. It really interfered with getting things done.

In our case the OCD definitely waxed and waned before we got treatment.

We didn't even realize what it was at first . . . the fear of germs and

constant hand washing/bathing. But it dissipated and we went on with our

lives. She continued to have " eposiodes " but was doing well until a year

later when OCD struck a lot harder and totally without warning. We have

since come to realize some things that trigger her OCD and it isn't what

you'd think -- it's not the scary books she loves (although we do avoid

those now) or discussions about gross bodily functions (which she seems to

be fascinated with). For her some triggers are lack of good, sound sleep;

change in routine; etc.

But, yes, for use the OCD came and went when left untreated. But there

came a point that she was in so much distress that she couldn't eat, had

daily melt-downs after school, was even having episodes at school (which

was especially distressing for her), etc. We had to do something!
