[quote=Anonymous]PANDAS PP, can you please share what age your son was when he was diagnosed with PANDAS?  My child is suffering from sudden onset of severe OCD, and I am feeling hopeless in trying to get him evaluated and treated.  My pediatrician really knows nothing about PANDAS and referred me to a neurologist who was pretty unhelpful as well.  They both offered to write him a prescription for an SSRI, but neither one would treat him with antibiotics, steroids or the other therapies being investigated for PANDAS - mostly because his strep test was negative.  While I am open to the SSRI, I would also like him to be evaluated and if an infection/inflammation (not picked up by the Rapid Strep) is ongoing to have it eradicated.  Because of the strep test being negative, we are also not eligible for the NIH study.  In any case, my son is not even 4 yet so I don't know if ERP would even be a possibility for him.  Where did you go for ERP?  Sorry for all the questions.  Just so desperate to want to find help for him.  TIA.[/quote]
