Havent been to Disney in a while ,Sea world gsve us fast pass and six flags gives them too.Dont bother with the PANDAS DX they really dont know about that say tourette syndrome ,ADHD , Aspergers Autism Dx that will work .Its not like they ask for a DR note. Enjoy it melanie -

				Why are Pandas doctors doing multiple IVIG's?
melanie replied to PhillyPA's topic in PANS / PANDAS (Lyme included)
Hi I could go on and on about this for hours ,We have done 16 IVs and have had way more ups then downs.Our Dr Believes this is the best protocol for danny and his issues.I see Dr J at UMDNJ in Newark ,NJ .Itrust her and have seen tremendous gains with danny.He has had symptoms since hes been about 2.Hes 16 now so you can see the amount of time he was untreated so that could be why.He is dxed with CIVD and PANDAS from 4 Mds so we know that this is what he has.He is also on the Autistic spectrum (somewhere on it )You really need to find and trust a MD .Pm me if you have any questions. Best Wishes Its real hard to deal with this but we really dont have a choice Melanie -

				Has anyone tried Rilutek for their child?
melanie replied to PhillyPA's topic in PANS / PANDAS (Lyme included)
Hi My Psy gave us a script for it but my insurance wouldnt cover it.They cover ivig every 21 days but not rilozole(generic) Its expensive 1,000 a script so we didnt try it.We did start NAC which is the same sort of idea.I think its helping alot ,his obsessive thoughts are 1/2 of what they were and I havent seen any side effects at all.I dont remember who suggested it on this board but i am very greatful.. Melanie - 
	Hi Quinny, can you tell us about your therapies.How many IVs you had.What kinds of antibiotics you used?When were you DXed?My son is 16 and is up and down. Thanks so much

	Well I see the same SE as you .Not thrilled at all.I take it and it does work wonders for me.I do get a stiff neck day1 and 2 .I feel unbelievable when Im on it.Danny has been on every antibiotic(xcept penicillin) allergic.Dr T thinks this could be a good one for mycroplasm I have read and would attach the post if I had time.Im going to try it and give it every other day and keep a close eye.Im also using NAC and Theaninie right now for OCD and anxiety. Melanie

	Using it to rid any mycroplasm Ive used itt and I see the tons of SE I liked it for me .Everything I use seems to give him a rash .

				IV #16 today 3 weeks goes sooo fast
melanie replied to melanie's topic in PANS / PANDAS (Lyme included)
the main changes are less rage still has episodes but they are short about 5 minutes and are all words (f B ) curse words and end in an apology a sincere apology.I have begun to ignore these behaviors.Im not sure if thats the right thing to do.I know if i witnessed someone elses child doing this I would expect the parent would punish that child,so I probably should too I truly believe he cznt help it at all. His language has exploded he doesnt search for words and doesnt get frusteraed looking for words. He can sit in a room with others and not freak (most times) melanie - 
	Another IV today hopefully it goes well New years is tomorrow .I need to evaluate theyear.Saw Dr T yesterday went really well .He hasnt seen danny in 6 months so he was shocked how well he was doing.that made us feel great,sometimes when you micromanange everyday you dont see all of the good Melanie
 - 
	I dont know Hes 16 so we dont talk about diapers or touch his butt .He freaks when he sees babys too..I think its weird for these words to czuse such anguish
 - 
	Me danny does every 21 days but we do 1g per kilo melanie
 - 
	Peg ask Dr about celebrex for the headache/light sensitivity I think it helped danny
 - 
	Hi Peg NO is a trigger too but not like the baby words.Hows Allie doing?Havent heard much from you hope thats a good thing Melanie
 - 
	Danny definitly is triggered by specific words (dont laugh) diaper,butt ,pee,baby Weird but I dont know why ? Anyone else have this? Melanie
