PIK Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I recently had an ASO titer drawn and it was 1300. A few months ago it was almost 1600. I went through a period of about six months of not feeling well. The rheumatologist put me on 10 days of penicillin V 500 mg three times per day, then once daily. I felt like I had meningitis with a severe headache on the penicillin and discontinued it. I have an upcoming appointment with the rheumatologist this week on Thursday and I would like some suggestions. What should I ask him? Should we try another antibiotic? Do adults do IVIG? Should I ask him about that? Please any thoughts are greatly welcome. I really feel like the ASO should come down and he should be aggressive with it. Also, psychologically I'm very stable as regards OCD because of Anafranil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missmom Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Can you take Zithromax? I think if it were me I would ask for that or another antibiotic. At least your numbers are coming down, although still very high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
