#pans disorder

[soanywayimscreaming]

I can’t believe my mom let me, who has an autoimmune disorder and a weakened immune system, get sick with Covid for four years straight and watched as my body started deteriorating from it and did nothing because she believed Covid was a hoax all because someone on Facebook said so.

things only people with PANDAS disorder understand

so. much. bloodwork.

knowing how read a Strep A test better than the doctor does

vitamin D deficiency

antibiotics are your antidepressants

going from an honors student one day to barely even able to go to school in the first place the next day

misdiagnosed like 11 different times

Dr. Swedo/ Saving Sammy/ My Kid is NOT crazy!

getting in trouble in school/at home for tics/fears/obsessions you cannot control

years and years of therapy to get over the trauma associated with your flare ups

just casually having an infection that doesn’t go away for three years

allergies that don’t really make sense

feeling misunderstood because you haven’t met anyone else with PANDAS

Hey guys! So, today, October 9th, is PANS Awareness day!

PANS stands for Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndome! I was diagnosed with it when back in around 2012, and I’ve lived with it ever since.

If you don’t know what it is, that’s okay! PANS isn’t too well known unfortunately. It can cause symptoms such as tics, OCD, and anxiety in me, but there’s plenty more too!

Please, please, PLEASE consider donating to a reliable site!

Research always helps to further the lives on people living with this, and it’d be really helpful! You are in no way obligated to reblog this, but please consider it, as posts about this are very few!
