strep?

[Mother's Heart]

who was it that was telling their experiences with chronic strep?
isn't that related to PANDAAS?
Is light sensitivity a part of that?

i'm sorry...too impatient at themoment to read through the posts...even though i know it's been recently talked about.

It was me. My daughter developed extreme photophobia (when I did research it seemed like the term photo sensitivity referred to whole body reactions to sunlight, whereas photophobia was used for visual sensitivity) and severe headaches @ a month after her tonsillectomy...I think it was related to the strep. If you are concerned about post strep problems- please study up on sydenham's chorea- PANDAS only seemd to deal w/ tics and OCD- Sydenham's includes these two plus a whole bunch of other symptoms. Let me know if you have any specific questions- Ill try to help.

thank you, you did. because I took a look at PANDAS and thought, Oh, the tic/ocd bit doesn't reallymatch. I will take another look at Sydenhams.
