est_sunshine Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 I found out I have 90% strep gut bacteria through the bioscreen gut test in Australia, I've also had OCD but not really bad, I wonder if it is also why I have pots? Autoimmune connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

looneymom Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Here are a couple more articles that might help you understand this connection.https://www.med.unc.edu/tarc/events/event-files/strep%20and%20ARF.%202012.%20curr%20opin.pdfThis next presentation has videos of the movement disorder.http://prezi.com/gc9jyeddogab/copy-of-rheumatic-chorea/This is my son's autoimmune connection to POTS. Tyler worst ordeal through all of this is when he started rolling back and forth and lost his ability to sit up. Before this happened, he had an elevated white blood count and a sore throat. More than likely he was having a relaspe but no one released at the time realized what was causing it because he would not test positive for strep.
