A Journey through PANDAS Syndrome

pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections

  • Have you ever watched your happy go lucky child change overnight with neurological and behavioral changes? Being a parent with a child who has flipped a switch overnight can make you wonder what you’re doing wrong or what is wrong with your child. Join me in the journey of our child’s diagnosis of PANDAS Syndrome and the healing process. Remember there is always hope and your child is “in there”. Their brain is just “on fire”!   

    In PANDAS the antibodies created in response to the strep infection attack the basal ganglia of the brain causing the blood brain barrier breach. Creating the inflammation of the brain.

A tour in the life of living with PANDAS Syndrome. PANDAS is short for pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections
