Re: strep a infection while on abx treatment

[Guest guest]

The only thing I can think would be if your child was a strep carrier - they

think one of mine is as she has tested positive when not even really having a

sore throat..........but I dont remember that happening when she was already on

ABX - interesting.........hope others can give you more

information...............

Subject: [ ] strep a infection while on abx treatment

 

My two oldest children both have Lyme and are being treated with abx by Dr. J in

Ct. This past week they both unexpectedly tested positive for strep A infection.

They were already on zithromax for a few weeks as part of their protocol. Has

anyone else had this pop up? Both kids were NOT showing the usual sore throat,

fever, white spots in back of throat symptoms. My daughter was having chest

pains with no known cause and I noticed one enlarged lymph on her neck so I

asked for strep tests. Any shared experience of Lyme and Strep would be helpful.

My daughter had strep multiple times during her Lyme years. We would add or

change abx . At one point, she was scheduled for Tonsil/adnoid surgery, but I

cancelled because she was too sick with the Lyme.

As the Lyme got better, the frequent strep got less, then disappeared.

Our sick kids don't have great immune systems. For her, not getting wiped out

with every little cold, or not getting strep all of the time was a sign/step of

recovery from the Lyme. She was thrilled the first time she felt like a

" normal person would with a cold. "

Mine went for regular lab work and it came back with strep bacteria levels 3

times what is " normal " . She also as on abx and didn't show any signs of strep

throat.

Strep is normally in the body. If I remember correctly, the strep bacteria that

causes strep throat is different from what is normally in the body. When the

bacteria that are in the body multiply (such as in my daughter's case), there

are other effects (increased heart rate for one), and not necessarily strep

throat.

This happened to my son also. Are your kids showing any psychiatric symptoms?

Not really psychiatric symptoms although it's hard to tell what is normal teen

behavior and what is caused by all these infections. There is some moodiness,

frustration, lack of energy. My son has cognitive problems, memory problems,

stamina, etc.. My daugheter has nerve pain issues in both legs which is now

being called Complex Regional Pain Syndrom (CRPS or RSD)

My son has little patience..flies off the handle easily, and has little

concentration. Of course I attribute that to the fact that he is achy and

fatigued........most ALL of the time!

Thats how I feel with my 13 yr old son. My other son who is 25 now and never had

lyme didnt have the attitude and temper and nastiness this one has. Now they

want me to see a neurologist and get a brain mri. His level went from 6.75 on

the IGG to 4.47 and on the IGM from 4.17 to 3.21. But his hemoglobin and

hematocrit (Dehyration?) are up now. His MCHc (?) is low. (Anemia ?). Inf. dis.

wont do more treatment, they dont base it on his levels. They say he'll always

be like that. I think thats BS.  Its so frustrating. So maybe the mri will show

if he still has lyme meningitis. i dont know anymore.
