Re: Brighter when on Antibiotic

[Guest guest]

I've wondered how accurate the ASO titer is if a child doesn't typically test

high for viral/fungal titers but responds well to their therapy. I think if

Dr. G thinks it would be a good idea, I'd go for at least a longer trial.

I would guess that your son has a yeast overgrowth problem, and he

feels better on an antibiotic because its killing some of the yeast in

his intestines. What about switching to an anti-fungal combined with

pro-biotics?

Hi Barb -

Yes, some lab they do in the office. They haven't

ever expounded on it for me, but I think it's along

the lines of a rapid strep but w/ blood. It has come

back negative a couple of times, and I told them in

advance that it would, because I didn't feel the way I

do when I get the mycoplasma (spacey, depressed, very

ADD, and obsessive worrying). It's like my brain

function is it's own lab. I will get like that for

about two weeks before I notice that everything has

gone downhill, the house is a wreck, I'm in my own

little world, and can't seem to function... and when I

'wake up' out of it enough to realize where I'm at, I

go to the doctor. Then I'll start antibiotics, and a

few days into it, not even thinking about the fact

that I'm on antibiotics, I'll notice that the house is

clean, dinner was on time, I'm perky and energetic,

and start wondering what's different - and I realize

Oh Yeah! I'm on Doxycyline! This always happens! " .

It's not an expectation, because I forget. I just

suddenly realize how much better I'm doing and

backtrack.

That was a lot more than you asked!
