Hi Brownie,
I was going to send you a PM but... I cannot even figure out how.
So feel free to pm if you want.

Did they give your child another strep test today? Did anyone check his antibody levels? Though at a certain point, if this thing gets really entrenched, I think exposure to any illness, even a virus, can set it off. One of my son's episodes was set off this year not by a strep infection, but by staph. I think if your kid is helped by antibiotics, he should be on the antibiotics, indefinitely, because as you've noticed, each time this thing is harder to control. I now feel iike I spend half my life going around trying to get my hands on more antibiotics.

There is another forum I check on-- it's hugely helpful if you think your kid has PANDAS. Maybe you could get some help there finding a doctor who knows about PANDAS.

Good luck.
