Stino1107 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Any help with what to expect? What labs he will most likely order? Just want to be as prepared as possible as we are traveling out of state for this appt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennapow Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Good luck with your appointment! For us he ordered ASO and dnaseB titers, anti-nuclear antibody, EBV and mycoplasma as well as total IGG and IGG subclasses. He gave us a prescription for Augmentin which we were able to start right away. He asked about symptoms and did a brief exam with my son. We had a follow up appointment 2 weeks after. Be warned that his interaction with kids is unusual. He always calls the boys "Mary Lou" and asks them if they like to play with Barbies. I think he does it to judge their reaction and social skills. I hope you get some answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stino1107 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Thank you for the replies. I had been thinking of emailing his symptoms so I went ahead with that. Also wanted to look up the labs he may order. We are new to all this so trying to learn all I can. Fingers crossed that we are headed in the right direction...

Stino1107 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 He started DS on Augmentin for 14 days, ordered lots of lab work, and said to take him to ENT to have tonsils evaluated. We were to go back in two weeks but he was out of town that week, pushing it to 3 weeks. We saw a huge improvement on the Augmentin. I was shocked. Has a new symptom of vocal tics, but all other symptoms improved. He finished it 2 days ago, and completely crashed today. Could not get to school, etc. I am anxious to get his lab results. We go back on Tuesday. I've been trying to learn as much as I can. It's overwhelming... kakrpa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
