colleendonny Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 My daughter had her 1st blood tests with Dr. B in December. We got the results back earlier in the week at our 2nd visit. I get so flustered when I see him that I have a hard time comprehending everything. Anyway, out of the visit, I got that her immune system is actively fighting infection. He is calling this PANDAS, her ASO and DnaseB were negative. She was posistive for erlichiosis and her vitMin B12 was high..anyone know what a high b12 could be? I googled.but didn't see things that could relate to her.

I googled.but didn't see things that could relate to her. Low B-12 causes anemia. I'm not sure about what happens if B-12 is high. But, if she's positive for erlichiosis, you need to see a LLMD (lyme specialist,) because erlichiosis is a tick borne disease, and you won't get rid of the problems until you eliminate all infections. Lyme and co-infections are very difficult to treat, and you need to see someone who specializes in Lyme and co-infections...that would be an LLMD. If you go the Lyme forum on this site, there is a list of doctor's names, and such. Also, if you PM me I can send you more information. Even if strep or any other infection is present (which is possible,) it may be covered up by the lyme and/or co-infections, and it causes the immune system to get messed up...this is why he's calling it PANDAS. Many of us have children with strep, lyme, co-infections, and other disorders all at the same time. Good luck with this. Edited January 14, 2012 by tpotter
colleendonny Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Posted January 14, 2012 Hi tpotter. Thanks for your response. I tried to send you a pm. It wouldn't work...
LNN Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 High B-12 isn't really considered a problem, so I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Some doctors feel you can't have "too much".
