  1. In the state of Texas, doctors do not have a choice about doing a culture or biopsy on any body part that is removed. It is required by law. My sons adenoids and tonsils were removed by a dr who decided it didn't need to be done as well as not providing abx. BIG mistake. You should insist on the abx as mysons tics only got worse after surgery because the infection spread. We later found a wonderful ENT who removed 2 polyps from my sons nose and he did iv antibiotics during as we'll as large dose abx before and after surgery. I was informed by this wonderful dr about the laws in Texas and the removal of body parts. I would recommend finding another dr. Who understands pans, pandas and pitands.
  2. I have a meeting this afternoon with the school to go over our ds 504 plan and I'm wondering what others have asked for on their 504 plans. I just want to make sure I don't leave anything out. Your help and comments are much appreciated. Thanks
  3. I'm curious to hear what Dr. T. had to say. All I can really add is that my son didn't have typical coxsackie symptoms either I suppose. He seemed to have a minor cold, then the PANDAS symptoms showed up. When he was negative for strep and ear infections, we ran blood tests and found the coxsackie. He's 8 weeks in right now and still recovering. The acyclovir helped, but it took the full 20 days to bring most of his symptoms down. Dr. T posted a paper regarding this very subject on his facebook page: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/18608177/
  4. Hi, I am not savy on this site but like to read all posts. Are you the one who says there is doctor in Dallas that treats with IVIG same as Dr.K? If so then can I get his name from you. That is so much closer than Connecticut!!! Thanks
