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 🙌

If you’re currently struggling with PANS/PANDAS, don’t lose hope. Healing is possible.

Did you know PANDAS can occur weeks to months after an infection?? 👀

For this reason, throat swab Strep testing and even blood Strep antibodies may be negative with PANDAS. In addition, if the diagnosis is PANS, the infection can be from other bacteria like Mycoplasma, and even viruses.

This was a recent impromptu interview Dr. Scott did with Dr. Tim Moorcroft.

Part of my job as a doctor is to separate fact from fiction — let’s talk about PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) and what the research really shows.

This is a longer format video but the message is important!

Chronic inflammation has been identified as a causative factor and as a predictor of worse outcomes in many conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, bowel diseases, arthritis, cirrhosis, and metabolic syndrome, among others. In cases of chronic mental or physical illness (including chronic, persistent infections), inflammation can become chronic, which damages normal tissues. This damage produces damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) which cause further immune activation. Avoiding further immune activation and re-regulating the immune system is vital in PANS and PANDAS.

Have you noticed dietary changes helping lower inflammation in your body?
