We’re so happy to hear these success stories 🙌 Over 10 years ago, our daughter developed PANDAS, which set Dr. Scott and Dr. Ellen on a desperate search for the care she needed.

As doctors, we were fortunate to find the right help and convince our insurance company to provide desperately needed therapies that are too often routinely denied.

A decade later, Dr. Scott has written the first PANS/PANDAS medical text for physicians and created a comprehensive course for parents.

The classic criteria for diagnosing PANS/PANDAS are listed, but we have had more than a few patients present with “most” of the signs and symptoms of PANS and PANDAS without actually meeting all the strict diagnostic criteria.

The bottom line is that, if a patient has more than two or three of the findings in any of these groups of symptoms, there is a problem. They may not technically meet the criteria for PANS or PANDAS, but other neuropsychiatric disorders in children share some of the same root causes as PANS and PANDAS and have responded very well to our treatment approach.

This was an example of a hypnotic pattern interrupt on stage during Dr. Scott’s lecture .lyme conference

Our brains run on patterns — predictable loops of thought, emotion, and behavior. When you suddenly interrupt one of these loops in an unexpected way, it causes a momentary pause in the automatic process. In that “gap,” the person’s conscious mind is off-balance, and their subconscious becomes more accessible.

Did this staged phone call mid-lecture catch you off guard?

Today is PANS/PANDAS awareness day. We know that PANS and PANDAS are evidence-based clinical diagnoses and far more prevalent than first thought. PANS and PANDAS are not rare — they’re just underrecognized.

It is crucial to continue raising awareness to reduce delays in diagnosis & treatment. With awareness comes understanding. With understanding comes healing.

Every like, comment & share helps raise awareness 💚

The sudden onset of anxiety is reported in 96% of PANS/PANDAS cases. Unfulfilled OCD rituals are a common cause of extreme anxiety. Reducing anxiety helps patients better deal with OCD.

If you’ve experienced anxiety, have you tried any of these suggestions?!

Testing for infections such as Strep and Mycoplasma can be challenging since these organisms can live in a biofilm which helps the infections evade the host immune system and may affect the sensitivity of laboratory testing.

Streptococcus pyogenes is the organism associated with PANDAS, and conclusive evidence has shown the association between this organism and autoimmune encephalitis.

Make sure to read our free blog post on antibiotics for treating strep: https://fullyfunctional.com/blog/antibiotics-for-strep-throat/

Too often, parents are told their child doesn’t have PANDAS because strep tests or A*O antibodies are negative during a flare.

❌This is a basic misunderstanding of the pathophysiology of PANDAS. PANS/PANDAS can be diagnosed without any tests.

So where does testing come in? 🧪
• To rule out other conditions that look similar but require different treatments
• To give an initial direction for therapy
• To monitor inflammation or total body burden of toxins/infections
