Mold exposure isn’t only about allergies. Mold can release mycotoxins, which are toxic to the nervous system and have been shown in numerous articles to impair immune response.

Mycotoxins can contribute to immune dysregulation, where the immune system may be both under- and over-active. They’re also odorless — so the absence of a musty smell doesn’t rule them out.

Homes with water damage, leaks, or dampness are important to evaluate, and an in-person mold inspection is recommended as the very first step.

Vitamin D isn’t “just a vitamin” in PANS/PANDAS 🧠☀️ This is not medical advice, but we encourage you to speak with your provider and get your Vitamin D levels tested!

Sensory and motor abnormalities are common in PANS/PANDAS and often present abruptly.

Increased sensitivity to clothing, sounds, smells, textures, and movement can drive significant distress and behavioral reactions. Motor and vocal tics, clumsiness, and loss of previously mastered skills may also occur. Understanding these symptoms as neurologic — not behavioral — is critical for accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.

One thing we don’t talk about enough: the appendices in Dr. Scott’s book, The Comprehensive Physicians’ Guide to the Management of PANS and PANDAS, are an AMAZING resource all on their own.

Whether you’re a parent advocating for your child or a provider supporting a family, these sections are meant to save time, reduce overwhelm, and help you feel more confident walking into appointments, school meetings, or insurance discussions.

APPENDIX A
• Laboratory and Radiology Tests

No two patients are the same, and their care shouldn’t be either. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all single treatment for PANS & PANDAS. It’s a multi-faceted approach based on each individuals’ labwork and health history.

Patient-centered care at our office always starts with a holistic health assessment to identify causes, triggers, & contributing factors to your symptoms.

When a child has OCD, parents are often told about medications and therapy, but the terms can feel confusing. Here we discuss ERP vs SRI treatment options.

ERP is recognized as a first-line treatment for OCD and is appropriate as stand-alone therapy. Large analyses comparing treatments in children and adolescents show higher response and remission rates with ERP than with medication alone.

One of our patients was featured in Newsweek after this video that her mom shared went viral (we’re resharing this story with permission).

We are so grateful their family found us and we were able to bring Lacy back home to her family. Never stop advocating for your children!

One of my PANS/PANDAS families shared this with me — my patient ‘M’ wrote that they were thankful for me and for IVIG.

Caring for these kids and seeing them heal is truly a privilege. I’m thankful for our patients, their resilience, and the trust they place in us every day.

The 2 sides of Dr Scott.
‘Good Times’
This is your reminder to always find something that brings you joy and have lots of good times 😁

Fun fact: Dr. Scott has actually been playing the bass for 25 YEARS!

If you’re a caregiver or have a stressful job or tend to have a stressful day-to-day life, make sure you’re finding time for something you enjoy.

Received this card with feedback from my patient “E” today. Grateful for the opportunity to help my patients heal 🙌
