@carriebradshawwithlessshoes @openupmyeagereyes I think next steps will just be seeing what the consultant has to say in terms of any more ideas. Think PANDAS was not considered likely (is that normally linked to an infection?) although she was ill with a virus around the time of the infection so who knows. Haven’t heard of frat tests before.
for now I continue with my own theory that it is a combination of genes (albeit not picked up in the tests, but there’s so much they don’t know) and environmental triggers that - if not caused the regression, at least made it more pronounced.
@GrouchyKiwi yes long haul travel much be very hard and stressful. I find it hard enough to and from the UK. Was considering going back for a weekend when DH is away but thinking through whether I could truly manage both DDs alone on a plane I think the answer is no. Exciting that your parents are coming. I didn’t realise you were in Scotland, I love Scotland. Was close to an Edinburgh move at one point. Don’t you sometimes picture all these parallel lives you could be living !!
on the brace chat, I think chocolate and juice is fine with braces but the concern is having it stay on the teeth too long - so rinsing with water or drinking through a straw etc. Or we used to be told after chocolate to have a bite
of cheese because it neutralises things.
I had Invisalign a year or so ago. Braces as a teen but they kinda went backwards again , although to a lesser extent.
