Message 21348990 Can you catch OCD? <I've seen O.C.D. get worse with a cold, with hay fever, with pneumonia. If there is anything special about strep, I don't think anyone has been able to find it.> I know it isn't very scientific <g> but after Miriel's pneumonia, she had a lot of anxiety about going anywhere --to school, to the park, did not matter; she didn't want to leave home. Happily, the anxiety cleared up with a few applications of fairy dust--and the condition subsided in about a week. As she gets older, I am going to need a more convincing placebo--but I hope not more than that. (Folks will remember thay my brother has OCD, so I follow the subject, albeit a bit casually)
