How My Daughter Recovered From PANDAS And Took Back Her Life
My PANDAS Warrior
In 2012 my daughter acquired PANDAS(Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Associated with Streptoccocal Infections) a life altering and commonly misdiagnosed illness that would change her life. Before PANDAS took over she was a social, active and confident adolescent with a full schedule of activities including friendships, dance, music, theatre and singing. For the years that followed she was riddled with anxieties, debilitated by physiological and psychological symptoms. It took years and visiting countless doctors to find the answers. PANDAS is a misdirected immune system response that was creating inflammation in her brain and a wide variety of ever changing and evolving symptoms. She was able to recover and get her life back thankfully, and we want to share with others her journey.
