When my son was first diagnosed the whole family was tested for strep/myco. My DS and I both had elevated titers for myco and normal titers for strep. The rest of the family did not. My myco infection was active even though I wasn't sick so I was treated first with Azith(my stomach couldn't take it) switched to Biaxin. Biaxin didn't touch the myco.Finally took Minocin which killed the active infection. My guess is the carriers need to be treated so as to no re-infect anyone. I know that my DS myco antibodies were very high for a very long time and now have come down since he and I were treated, but he is still on Azithromycin at this time. I hope this helps.

Imkmpi67....I sent you a PM.

I just got off the phone with Dr B's office. They have their phone service back! Yay!

Thank you both, I guess I'll keep trying and hope for the best.

Has anyone been able to get in touch with Dr B's office this past week? Our appt was canceled on Monday due to the Hurricane and the phone line has been busy ever since. I'm wondering if anyone knows if they're back or if the phone lines aren't working. I'm hoping to reschedule our appt as soon as possible. Thank you.

My DS12 was diagnosed with convergience insuff when he was 1 1/2 years old. The pediatrician said he had a lazy eye and the Opthamologist said there was nothing wrong. I knew something wasn't right so I brought him to Pediatric Optometrist and then he was diagnosed properly. He started vision therapy in small doses at home, using a straw then as he got older we used more intense therapy at home. I can say that this really really helped my son. Today he's 12 and he's an amazing reader and writer. I was lucky that he started early and was able to do most therapy at home inexpensively. We did not use any of those special glasses. Vision therapy is very time consuming but does produce results, at least in our case. He still has convergience issues but we keep a set of beads(used in VT) that he will use occasionally to remind his brain to use his eyes as a team. When he's over tired or sick the CI will pop up again. All in all we were happy with the results of Vision therapy.

Has he been checked for migraine headaches? I personally have suffered with severe migraine headaches since I was 4 years old. They were pretty intense and I would vomit when I had them along with many other symptoms when I was a child. They varied with intensity and sometimes only lasted for 20mins other times 2days. My DS12 does get headaches and usually he gets them in the car while driving and they last about 10mins. This has happened with flares and without. He does not vomit though. I spoke with his Pedi about it and said it could just be motion sickness in the car.

The office didn't give any reason for this? At our family's first visit we were told we should be tested for lyme annually as we live in a wooded area. I wonder why too. I hope someone has more information.
