Cyclical/Periodic Vomiting----Any help or input please!?

[WorriedDADNMOM]

Good Morning all!!!!!! Middle dd7 highly suspicious of having Pandas/Pitand-----Classic case after confirmed strep and subsequent exacerbation's after confirmed strep in house---- all symptoms right down to the chorea like movements. Seeing Pandas Doc early Dec.

 

My Question is with dd 8. Some history. June 10 sore throat vomiting slight fever---swabbed confirmed strep. Late June to Middle July severe anxiety/sep anxiety that lasted all the way to early October. 5 days of Zith took care of the anxiety at my request from new ped. Her glands have remained swollen this entire time. We did not track the vomiting(maybe once or twice) thru late June/July/Aug, but she had alot of malaise, anxiety/sep anxiety right up until the 5 days of zith. But dealing with the old ped and the new ped, we have been documenting. June 10 vomiting with confirmed strep, Sept 11 severe malaise,sick, vomiting----was very scary since she was hitting her chest after the vomiting. October 11 Vomit, November 7-vomit, and now yesterday Nov 29 vomiting and 101 fever.

 

We do know from blood tests on Aug 30, she had had high Igg for EBV, what I think now was in conjunction with the strep back in June. She has since been aggressively swabbed at the new ped with neg results. So we really do not know what is going on. The vomiting in this cyclical nature is of concern.

 

1) Could her glands be "leaking" strep into her throat down to her stomach over time, thus causing the vomiting and malaise??

2) Could she have strep in her gut and when the concentration gets high enough, she exhibits malaise and then the vomiting????

3) I know EBV can be tough to deal with and can take a toll on the immune system and take along time to "clear". But 5 months???? With the improvement in glands,anxiety and overall feeling well during and post 5 days zithromax in early oct?????

4) What blood tests could/should I ask the ped to do today?????------ as the school would not let her come back from yesterday with the 100+ temp and vomiting.

 

None of this feels right at all. But, will keep fighting it every day till we get em healthy. Please respond if you have any insight.

 

Thanks!!!!!

I believe Lyme disease has a cycle of around a month. Not totally sure about this but it might be worth looking into.

 

My kids also vomitted with strep but the cyclic thing seems different. It seems like with strep it would be constant unless you treated with antibiotics.

Recurrent sore throat, swollen glands, fever, GI problems, infections (viral, bacterial, fungal) can all be signs of Lyme disease. Suggest testing through IGeneX.
