Hi Denise,
I just had an appt with an immunologist at MGH Boston, Dr. Walter. My daughter has been along time patient of Dr. Dan Geller. She was also a patient of Dr. Michael Jenike at OCDI.
DD17 has been tested by Dr. T and we are heading to Chicago for fist lVlG with Dr. K in 2 weeks.
I am working with Dr. Geller and Dr. Jenike to form a team of Docs to treat PANDAS kids in Boston. Dr. Walter will join this team but needs lots of support. Dr. Walter ran lots more blood work, not sure what exactly ,but I will send it to you when it comes back. She also asked me to have them draw 3 red top vials before lVlG in Chicago and have them sent to her for future testing.
Do you know anything about rituximab? 2 dr.s have mentioned this to me but have not heard any other PANDAS patients talking about it.
Best,
Tiffani
