Guest guest Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Need some advice/input--please! A week ago my son was displaying for the first time almost all the signs of a PANDAS episode right after having some dental work done. Now, thank god, most of the symptoms have either disappeared entirely or lessened greatly. Still some remaining OCD stuff that's worrisome, but that seems to be fading daily. I think the 3x daily dose of OLE and increased biofilm protocol and immune boosters has helped with this turnaround. Finally got the script for Zithromax (500 mg 1st day, 250 mg 1x day for 9 days) But now I'm unsure if I really need to do this. I think we have an ongoing strep issue w/ exposure via cousin with PANDAS and also dental issues in the family (I know they are different strains, but after much research I think the antibodies are also reacting to Strep Mutans in some kids) Will the antibiotics make a significant dent in the strep that may be " hanging out " in his system? I do understand that while it is great that the symptoms have gone away, PANDAS is episodic and it may very likely return. Is it worth the potential gut/yeast problems? (if we do it, we'll do difulcam too and also increase yeast protocol, probiotics, etc.) Is it just a temporary " band-aid " , or can the antibiotics have a potentially longer term effect? Am totally FREAKED OUT by all I've been reading about PANDAS lately. But I don't want to make anything worse by overreacting... What would you do??? Really need some advice, thanks for all thoughts!!!! Thank you! Alisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
