Ah, okay, thanks. That makes sense, because at the doc's office we talked about how fortunate it was that he has no tummy side effects-- it just doesn't bother him at all. And we're giving Florastor and probio. So perhaps that's it. Or perhaps it's one of those weigh the risks and benefits things-- he obviously can't do Augmentin b/c he gets strep while he's on the therapeutic dose. When he's on Clinda, his strep clears up, and we see tremendous improvement in his symptoms. Anyway, lots, lots, lots, to dig into-- we're just starting to figure this guy out. Thanks again!

Dd, post-IVIG, is doing great on Augmentin. Seriously great-- I'll post our happy story soon-- when ds's flare chills out... Ds, no IVIG, recurrent strep, is back on Clindamycin. He had an active perianal strep infection, with PANDAS exacerbation, on the day of his initial eval with our PANDAS doc (the one upside to that was that it made dx easier). He did a 2 week course of Clinda, we saw major improvements, then switched to Augmentin. Less than a week after the switch, but still on Augmentin, he seriously regressed and the perianal strep returned. We went back up to see our PANDAS doc, did another course of Clindamycin and topicals, etc. Same exact number of days off Clinda and back on Augmentin, he got a sandpapery rash on his torso. We saw our PANDAS doc--strep. And now he's back on Clindamycin. He's supposed to stay on the Clindamycin for 3 months now. Peggy, do you know anything about that long a course? This all just came up at the end of the week and I haven't even had a chance to look into it yet. TH
