My son has been having PANDAS episodes for five years off and on from exposure to strep and after he had immunizations. He gets tics, obsessions, compulsions, attention issues, emotional liability, and fears. His fine and gross motor skills are delayed. We are in occupational therapy for hndwriting and body strengthing. We are currently treating him with daily antibiotic therapy Omnicef, and Abilify for the emotional mood swings. This is helping him. He has not gotten an episode in several months. His tics are much improved as is his attention and emotional behavior issues. He still is scared of things and gets stuck on ideas but he is easier to get over things that don't go his way. I think he is on the road to recovery. It has taken alot of Dr's and time but he is slowly improving. Has anyone found a permanant cure? What is it? I wonder if he will need these medicines forever? He is only six. I wonder what his long term prognosis will be? How will these meds affect him in the long run?
