PEte Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 So I'm going to the Dr tomorrow, told them I wanted to get a blood test for strep. Highly doubt they are familliar with PANDAS (and I don't know if I have it or not).... I was told to ask for the : ASO test and Anti-DNAse-B test will they know what I'm talking about? Anyone know how much these will cost? My insurance will likely not cover it. thanks! -pete

And your insurance just may cover it, if the doctor notes a suspicion of strep. Ours did, with the exception of the co-pay. Good luck!
Fixit Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Just real quick ...if you are getting a draw ask to test for Mycoplasma pneumoniae igg and igm and thyroid, tsh, t3,t4 and a cbc panel....instead of one test at a time.... maybe they can put it undera physical and check your cholesteroll...that will cover some other things.... there may be a lot more tests...get these easy ones out of the way... get a lymes form igenex good luck!!!
PEte Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Posted May 11, 2010 Ok... I just had a physical and blood work a few months ago, they didn't check for anything other than nutrient deficiencies or so I was told. Came back low on vitamin D but doc said everyone who lives in cold climate is in the same boat on that one. Lets see what the doc says tomorrow! Thanks! -pete Just real quick ...if you are getting a draw ask to test for Mycoplasma pneumoniae igg and igmand thyroid, tsh, t3,t4 and a cbc panel....instead of one test at a time.... maybe they can put it undera physical and check your cholesteroll...that will cover some other things.... there may be a lot more tests...get these easy ones out of the way... get a lymes form igenex good luck!!!
