Kayanne Posted November 1, 2009 Report Posted November 1, 2009 Well...Becca's score was 112. This was our first time taking the test, so we don't know what she was in the Spring. I'm not surpised at all by this number, in fact I am happy because I think being right on threshold means that her brain is healing. At the time of the blood draw we were not seeing any PANDAS behaviors. She got the flu this week...I'm not sure yet, but I may be seeing a very, very slight bit of PANDAS coming through. I took her and my son to the peds on Thursday afternoon because my son got sick soooo quick--within hours he went from running and playing to loads of coughing, crying, and fever. The ped put them on Tamiflu. Becca's fever was gone by Friday morning, and DS4 was playing by yesterday afternoon, although you can tell he is still sick. The ped said to me, "Well, with the PANDAS we don't know how she is going to react with this flu, so let's try the Tamiflu to lessen the severity of it." So any thoughts of changing practices just went out the window... My husband got sick Thursday too, and he is really laid up...very unusual for him. He took the hit for the kids and had the nasal swab done to test for flu because it would have been nice to get confirmation if it was H1N1--it was negative for the flu, but his dr told him that the test has a high percentage of false negatives...so it was still probably the flu.
