help with a flairup, please

[JoyBop]

I saw a question in this Convo about beta blockers. My DS is on Intuniv which is a blood pressure med. it takes the edge off his rage and calmed his intense motoric hyperactivity. When combined with Motrin twice a day it is very effective. Only half effective without Motrin.

PP -- thank you for that info. We will talk to our doctor obviously who we are seeing this week, but we were looking for something to address this flairup in addition to the motrin/ibuprofin and we found betablocker did disappate the rage episodes.

Interesting about the motoric hyperactivity. Before our son was diagnosed with PANDAS, a doctor prescribed adderall. We tried it for a month and it made him more manic. During this week of motoric hyperactivity, i was thinking about trying the adderal again. I will stick with betablocker....

pr40 correct me if im wrong but i believe you were speaking about my son in particular that cant take abx and ibuprofren because of his gastritis issues. Just repeating what i was saying in my post but not saying it cant be taken together.

 

--- I was just summing up the original post. yes, i am referring only to your son. I am sorry I was not more clear. We normally give the two together and the combo helps

ok, tests I have lab orders for so far for my sons flareup and also just because hes due r : Immunoglobulins (igg, iga,igm) ,strep pneumoaniae antibody serotypes and Mycoplasma panel igg and igm. all ordered by immunlogist. Still have not been able to talk directly with my sons pandas doc.

He has a history of low iga and igg also high myco levels. I just dont know if the strep titer tests r included above. Can anyone tell from what i wrote above? If something is missing that anyone thinks i should be testing for please let me know. Remember this is just follow up testing and also to see if there is a medical cause for his pans flare. thanks everyone!!
