Guest guest Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I hope you don't jinx it too, lol, but you know we LOVE reading this so feel free to keep posting them! Hmmm, Halloween and costumes, that is an idea for exposure for anyone dealing with contamination type issues! > > > I hope I'm not jinxing her by posting these achievements. I also hope the positive posts gives some people on here hope. I remember very well how devastatingly hard and draining OCD and all that comes with it can be for both the parents and children. > > Kara > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hello, May I ask what has been working for you as far as therapy and/or meds? Great to hear some positive news! > > We just went shopping together for a Halloween costume. She even tried on three different costumes. She NEVER wanted to go shopping over the past year. And the thought of actually trying on something at the store(or that other people might have tried the same thing on)would have made her run the other way. > > I hope I'm not jinxing her by posting these achievements.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I think the biggest thing helping her is the combination of the antibiotics, Bactrim and Zithromax. We have also done therapy (mostly at home after learning the ropes with a therapist) to get her past things that were contaminated while she was in an exacerbation...but they are all pretty much gone, now. She has either PANDAS and/or PITAND or PANS, take your choice of acronym. But bascially an infection was at the route of the problem. > > > > We just went shopping together for a Halloween costume.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Speaking of PANS (or PANDAS or PITANDS) - those cases triggered by infections/virus of some type - these can also trigger tics in children from what I understand, with or without OCD symptoms. I'm sorta surprised now that I don't see that mentioned very often, but then I look mostly for OCD related info. > > > She has either PANDAS and/or PITAND or PANS, take your choice of acronym.
