[QUOTE="Josie, post: 325879, member: 1792"] On a previous post, you mentioned your son was being checked for Lyme Disease. I will guess that it was negative since you aren't mentioning it now. You should know that there are two standards of treatment for Lyme. The predominant view, from the IDSA, is that the testing is accurate and Lyme is easily treated. They look for symptoms such as a bullseye rash and knee swelling. The other group, ILADS doctors, believe there isn't an accurate test and that Lyme should be clinically diagnosed. They do use labs that specialize in tickborne illness for confirmation but I'm pretty sure you didn't get that unless you already know about the whole controversy in Lyme treatment. Anyway, the ILADS doctors believe that sudden psychiatric symptoms could be caused by Lyme. Your son's leg pains that you mentioned in another post make me concerned that the psychiatric symptoms could be part of a medical problem, especially if the leg pains happened around the same time. My daughter has Lyme Disease and we believe her psychiatric symptoms are from that. She had a bullseyse rash, developed some Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms, and 2-3 months later had her first rage. Treating for Lyme quickly resolved her raging issues but they have returned at times. She is far from a success story with Lyme but the treatment has seemed to eliminate the worst of her psychiatric symptoms. ETA: We didn't know at the time of her bullseyse rash about this controversy and so when we were told "there is no Lyme in TX", we believed it and didn't connect her psychiatric symptoms or her headaches to the rash. She didn't get treated for 3 1/2 years. Earlier treatment would probably have a better outcome. Here is a link to a brochure about neuropsychiatric Lyme. [URL]http://www.lymeinducedautism.com/images/PsychiatristBrochure.pdf[/URL] If you think Lyme is a possibility, unfortunately, you will need to do a lot of research to learn about both sides of the controversy in order to decide which way to go.
