Your Words: That Boy, Do You See Him?

While every PANDAS/PANS family experiences this medical condition differently, there are many familiar aspects that we all share.  One of those things we share is how difficult it seems to be for anybody to actually see what PANDAS/PANS is doing to our kids and to our families.

Your Words: The Blue Door Fiasco (Guest Blog by Julie)

"Do you allow for guest bloggers?" I got the email  last night from my new friend, Julie, a possible (probable) PANDAS Mom. I said, "Yas. Less work for me. lol."
