Hi Christie (again :-), great reassuring answer. I just got an email from Dr K. There are still slots free in the summertime, so we will decide. You are right saying that there are risks involved with almost everything we are doing ... and chances. I prefer to be optimistic. I am happy to hear that your son is doing so well. Did he have vocal tics previously as a symptom? That is what my son had two times over the past two years - only about 4 to 8 weeks - while he is a rather normal for the rest of the year - yet on a 0.5mg dosis of Risperdal. Wolfgang

Hi Christie, my name is Wolfgang. My son Bastien, 10 years old, suffers from PANDAS. I was in touch with Dr K quite frequently and I would like to do an IVIG, but my wife is still opposed to it due to the possible side effects. Your experience with Dr K's IVIG seems to overwhelmingly positive. Has there been no onset of symptoms since April at all? Can you also please tell me about the study of Leckman /Swedo/Kovacevic, which stopped recruiting patients? I might actually ask Dr Kovacevic myself. Wolfgang
