7. There has been debate that PANDAS is not a legit
diagnosis among many in the medical community. I'm glad to see that the diagnosis is getting a bit more respect of late.

I recall another girl who was a "sneezer" a couple years ago. She too was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, but I don't recall if she was tested for strep or not?

The link between mental health and illness is fascinating isn't it? I've recently read about schizophrenia being linked to things like bacteria in cat stool or influenza in pregnancy? Encouraging, given antibiotics are currently able to treat some forms of mental illness.
