[quote=Anonymous]We went through something similar to what you're describing and after multiple visits to the pediatrician and psychiatrist, we finally saw a neurologist (Dr. Beth Latimer) who diagnosed our son with PANDAS. The diagnosis was life changing and we now have our child back. My son has close to zero anxiety and OCD symptoms now. I cannot imagine what life would have been like for him (or us) had we not gotten a proper diagnosis and treatment. And no, Amoxicillin would not necessarily have wiped out the strep. Also, other illnesses besides strep can call PANS and PANDA-like symptoms. If the OCD came on suddenly out of nowhere, I highly encourage you to see a PANDAS expert. Dr. Latimer is the best in the area. FWIW, I brought up the possibility of PANDAS to our pediatrician and he dismissed it and said since son was negative for strep, it couldn't be PANDAS. Good luck![/quote]
