Do they typically use 2 Abx. for Lyme/?


Recommended Posts

Our PANDA specialist that test our girl found her possitive 4 bartonella. He said she needs 2 be on 2 steroids. Is this typical. I also have an appointment with Dr. Jones lined up. I a also going 2 call Dr. Beal 2morrow to see what he has 2 say, since I just recently had an appointment with him. I as so surprised that he did not check 4 bartonella, with all of my girls severe pych. sypmptons. It is strange.

We saw an LLMD after our PANDAS dd9 was diagnosed with Bartonella. We were still waiting on the WEstern Blot Lyme results at the time of the appointment.

For Bartonella, she was on two - Zithro and Bactrim. The LLMD said that was appropriate treatment for both Bartonella and Lyme - so even if the WB came back positive, she wouldn't change the treatment at that point.

 

We see her again Thursday...we'll se if she switches anything up then...

We were never prescribe biacin for the PANDAS and the Bactrim was added once we found out about the Bartonella, so I can't say for sure.

I think the antibioitc used for strep may depend on where the strep infection is. If I recall correctly, the doc put my nonPANDAS son on Biacin for a sinus infection, saying the Zithromax wouldn't get it there....

so the bactrim and biacin that my girl is on, could take care of the pandas and lyme that she has, right?
