Good time to run PANDAS labs

[asmith1999]

Hi.

 

My son shows many symptoms for PANDAS and some of his Drs also feel he does. They have only run the usual ASO, Anti-Dnase which have all come back negative. I was just given an article by Dr. Aristo Vojdani that lists several other tests, but I want to make sure that I go at the right time. Do I go while my son is ill, while he is having an episode of the behaviors associated with PANDAS or can I get this at anytime without it effecting the results?

 

TIA

Amy

I would go ASAP! Sooner you get labs, (maybe) the sooner you get treated.

I think the best time to run labs is when your child is the most symptomatic. However, that also seems like the hardest time to do a blood draw.
