Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 My son's PANDAS symptoms seem to worsen even from exposure to strep bacteria. He is on a long term antibiotic so he doesn't get the strep but I definately see an increase in compulsive behaviors and tics and emotional issues. I have not found a way to keep him symptom free because he just gets around it and starts a new epsiode. How do you keep these PANDAS kids away from the strep germs short of keeping them in a bubble? Does strep affect OCD even if it is not PANDAS? > > > > Strep increased 's OCD. Actually any fever seems to increase > > it a bit. But have never been able to tie in his OCD as the PANDAS > > type.
