OCD and Tactile Sensory Disorder

My 9 year old dislikes all clothing but will wear dresses. I recently read articles about Strep infections and possible links to inflammation of the brain that can induce sensory issues. I also read about PANDAS which is a autoimmune disorder assoc with Strep. But I hit a brick wall when trying to find Doctors that understand it or will try and help me diagnose our daughter to see if this could be the link to all the Tactile, OCD, and anxiety issues.

Does anyone have any advice or other info assoc with OCD, Tactile, and anxiety?

Our Daughter also is allergic to peanuts... another major challenge to control.

Thanks

ODC Sensory Disorder
by: Anonymous

I have the same thing when I was younger I couldnt wear certain clothes, and couldnt touch things wit certain feelings. I have to blow dried with a hair dryer, never wore shoes once they got wet, i used to eat sand cause of the texture and fabric softeners( my mom would hide them from me) I could play in laundry soap forever! I still have some weird things like that. I HATE when things are uneven it makes me wanna cry and I have a break down sometimes. Im 15 now and its still hard to deal with specially in school when its not my choice for things to be even. Ugh so annoying!

My daughter has had a terrible time getting dressed since four year old kindergarten began. She hates all seems and moving from summer shorts and t-shirts to pants and long sleeve shirts. Our mornings were extremely challenging just to get clothing on her body. She was treated for strep throat two weeks ago and she is a different child. She is wearing pants and tops she would not ever consider wearing. No tears, or whining!!!!! She was feeling ill but not even complaining about her throat when she was tested positive. I have to say that I believe there is a correlation!

There's hope

Hi,
I have recently found out about a nutritional supplement, not a drug, that helps with these kinds of disorders. It's called EMPowerplus. You can find out about it at www.truehope.com. You can read about studies that have been done in OCD cases and also Autism, as well as many other mental illnesses. Take the time to check it out. I'm currently giving it to my 6-year-old who suffers from ADD and ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder). It has really helped him. I know a lot of other people who have been helped by it as well.
Good luck!

OCD/PANDAS
by: Michelle

Hi there!! I'm 19 years old and suffer from OCD and PANDAS. After getting my tonsils removed my OCD and strep is under control. I used to get strep every 2 weeks and my OCD was off the charts. After getting my tonsils out I can now control my OCD and live a normal life. If you have any questions feel free to email me. I'd love to hear from you.

My daughter has Autism and is nonverbal but she also has to touch everything including corners for at least four times before moving on her way. Does anyone else have children that do this and how do you help them over come these issues. It is controlling her life and everyone else around. I know that it is OCD but because she is nonverbal we can not find anyone to help us with her problems. We also believe that it has some to do with Sensory issues. I spend 5 hours each day getting her dressed in the morning and ready for bed at night. Any suggestions.
