Re: URGENT: Blood testing for PANDAS

[Guest guest]

These are the tests we've been checking off:http://nids.net/labtests.htmNo way you can get them all done with one draw. :-( I wish it were possible. My kids are " good " about bloodwork but it's still not fund... 'cause " good " still involves some whining and tears.

A lot of toy bribery goes on at my house. Good luck!

 

My twins are being tested for PANDAS today at 2pm, so far we have strep ASO titers, DnaseB Anitbody, and Dr. Cunningham's labs for the PANDAS test kit.

I only want to have to do the blood draw one time are there any other things I should ask my doctor to check while I have the chance. She is great and will ask for whatever labs I need. I think we should also do their allergy series IgG testing but I am not familiar with what these are called can anyone help. Should we also do a blood panel to see where their levels are? Or Vitamin D levels, magnesium, etc?

Please help I only have till about 10am to get this list to my doc so she can write the orders for me to take to the children's hospital for the labs to be drawn.

Thanks!!!

Oh, and please send positive blood draw thought our way...our one twin has a severe phobia about needles...I am nervous already! Luckily, he doesn't know what is coming yet!

Long day for you. Been there with 2, it's not easy.

Test for Lyme, Igenex test if possible.

Best wishes.
