[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I hope your situation is improving. In a previous response, I forgot to say that you might try giving your child regular doses of Advil to see if it helps. PANDAS is supposed to be an inflammatory response so giving an anti-inflammatory like Advil helps is some cases. Some have had positive responses as well to prednisone, but you would need a doctor to prescribe it, which few would unless they are very familiar with PANDAS.[/quote] Steroids can help greatly, but once the steroid course is over, the symptoms often reoccur and can worsen. It's helpful to try the steroids b/c if the symptoms disappear, it's a strong indicator that they're caused by an immune-system response. In other words, it's a way to confirm the PANDAS diagnosis. I would not ask your ped to prescribe prednisone- this should only be done under the supervision of a PANDAS specialist. [/quote]
