Elle-
I wish I could go into more at the moment, but I've got to pick my family up at the airport in 6 hours and I need some sleep!! :-D
PANDAS is an acronym...something about pediatric immune system problems. It is when your body, in response to untreated strep infection, attacks parts of your brain. Both my mother and I (thanks to CS) had rheumatic fever and then "mysteriously" developed OCD. They've now found a link. I hope you don't mind my attempting to drag Dr. Bob in, but I'm hoping he can contribute.
