My hiatus is coming to an end
I have had to take a break from Mormon True Crime for awhile due to health problems in my house... but my little guy was just diagnosed with PANDAS officially this week.
treatment will be long, but it's starting, so I'll be able to have some sense of routine in my life again now that we have answers!
he began steroids this week and begins antibiotics in the morning - with IVIG, tonsillectomy and other exciting things to follow over the next several years of treatment.
can't wait to share sneak peeks of what I'm prepping with you all!
PANDAS, or Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections, can significantly impact a child's life. Symptoms often include sudden onset of obsessive-compulsive behaviors, tics, and mood swings, which can be distressing for both the child and their family. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment, which may involve a combination of antibiotics, steroids, and therapies. Support groups and online communities can provide invaluable resources and encouragement for parents facing similar challenges. Integrative approaches, including counseling and lifestyle changes, may also aid recovery. It's important to stay informed and connected during this journey, as every step can make a difference in your child's health and well-being.
