new and looking for anwers
 

my ten year old daughter has had problem since he was nine months old. She pulled out all of her hair from nine month to age four and a half. started kindergarten and began to fear vomit would fight everyday when we took her to school. grade three started and someone in class apparently barfed although my daughter didnt witnes it. after that day did not go to school for six months. Mental health clinic diagnosed her with vomit phobia but i always have thought ocd. finally put her on meds for fourteen months and got her back into school full time. then drs took her off med this past feb and by april first was not going to school again along with a list a mile long of places and things she will not go or touch due to them being germy and someone may have been ill or barfed. does this sound like anything anyone has heard of before

Hi Mooma

does your child have a history of strep infections at all?

you may want to check into the possibility of a condition known as PANDAS that is beginning to get more attention paid to it by conventional doctors

severe OCD is one of the primary symptoms!

here are 2 excellent websites

Welcome to NT

This is a great place to find support and understanding.

I have not had any experice with what you're going through. That must be trying to the point of frustration at its highest threshold.

Keep asking questions and reading posts here. I'm sure some other members are no stranger to your trials. It helps to know you're not alone. You'll find it's a small world after all. No matter where you live, humans are not perfect. We have different complaints and different struggles, and lots of good things in each of us. It is our differences that make us individuals.

I hope your little girl finds peace within herself. :grouphug:
