Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi group Our second issue is OCD. It is so out of hand. It has always been present through specific stims, but it has gone verbal big time in the last months. It started when he caught a virus at school along with most of the kids. They threw-up and had high fevers/extremely sick for days. He only threw up and had not other issues. Does HBOT help with this? Any suggestions? I have tried so many supplements. Is there something I have missed ? His OCD is literally the worse part of his autism at this moment. I would appreciate any advice Thanks, Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Have you run a comprehensive stool analysis (CDSA) w/ your DAN? Does it show strep. Every PANDAS kid has a positive CDSA. You can also get your DAN to check his AASO/DNASE titers (keep in mind though that 50% of PANDAS kids do not have high titers). Maybe your DAN would be willing to do a course of azithromycin......see if the symptoms subside.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Same exact thing with my nephew. He is 9 and has come a very long way. But the movie scripting is almost non-stop. She is asking that he be tested for strep next time he sees the dan.

I've reviewed the PANDAS info in the past and never thought it really applied to us, but like the initial email below, scripting for us is the number one characteristic my son has that significantly interferes with his ability to be "present" in the real world. We are trying homeopathy now and have tried non stimulant ADHD medication (which worked for 2-3 weeks then stopped). I'm at my wits end for trying to figure out how to get it to stop. It's like the flood gate is open in his brain in a certain area and the neurotransmitters are gushing through without anything to stop it and his brain is on hyper mode with all his movies and he just CANT turn them off. I've mentioned PANDAS to his DAN but she never went anywhere with it or seemed to give my concern about it much thought. any thoughts from you guys?

You need to learn about the symptoms and treatments for PANDAS. www.pandasnetwork.org After each exposure to strep PANDAS gets worse and worse so it needs to be treated before it gets completely unbearable.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 The throa clearing sounds like a tic. Have you looked into PANDAS? You can get info about it at www.pandasnetwork.org Maybe your doc can give you a trial of azithromycin and see if the symptoms subside. There is also a yahoo group autism_pandas.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I also forgot to mention that throat clearing comes and goes. It was unbearable with the medication called CONCERTA. When we stopped, tics faded. And soon they were gone..Nowadays tics started again. This time I have no idea what might have triggered them. Thank you . I did not know throat clearing could be a sign of PANDAS. I will definitely search more about this. Thanks again..Ayse The throa clearing sounds like a tic. Have you looked into PANDAS?
