Living with PANDAS/PANS
Learning that your child or loved one has been diagnosed with PANDAS/PANS is not easy. The most important thing is to be supportive and aware of the pain and confusion that they may be experiencing. With early diagnosis and treatment, patients have a higher chance to recover and heal from symptoms. Help advocate for your loved one to get the right kind of treatment, especially if they are unable to communicate for themselves. Educate family members, your child’s school, neighbors and healthcare providers through reliable sources.
