Very similar story over here. Similar treatment and recovery, BH. For people curious about this syndrome, the most salient symptom is a sudden onset of multiple things that people don't usually develop in later childhood, let alone all at once. (OCD, tics, etc)

I have been told that kids with PANS / PANDAS often get better spontaneously when they hit puberty as well, which some speculate is due to changes in the immune system that occur at that phase of development (the body stops producing T-cells), so there is hope for families that have young children that things can improve gradually with time on their own if you hang in there as well.
