Sadly these symptoms are all too common with #Pans#Pandas The child's world becomes so small as does that of the parent/s & can have far reaching consequences for any siblings and extended family. Not rare! Please RT💚#PansPandasHour
Sadly there’s been little recognition of #Pans#Pandas in UK across any services but @PandasPans & the families it supports are fighting hard 2 change this 4 those suffering now & those who may suffer in the future. Change is slowly coming🙏🏻 Media attention needed #PansPandasHour
No child should have 2 lose childhood 2 #Pans#Pandas No teen should have 2 lose important teenage years. Result of lack of diagnosis/treatment is horrific conditions carried 2 adulthood.Young adults then become lost in an adult MH system, misdiagnosed, mistreated #PansPandasHour
When your child has #Pans#Pandas your heart 💔 - the debilitating symptoms, the missed opportunities, fading dreams, the lack of awareness amongst many medics, the hurdles you’re faced with to get treatment, if you’re lucky.
Your heart & your child’s heart 💔 #PansPandasHour
Often when you have child with #Pans#Pandas you live life in lockdown. Horrific symptoms make leaving house seem impossible 2 child affected. They miss out on so much & lose childhood, family, friends & education. Sad fact is it really doesn't have 2 be this way! #PansPandasHour
Nothing RARE about #Pans#Pandas Diagnosis/treatment needs to improve significantly to put end to unnecessary, prolonged suffering. Shocking the refusal that still exists to acknowledge these conditions. Delay in diagnosis causes exacerbation & irreparable damage #PansPandasHour
I feel so bitter & heartbroken at the thought of my child possibly irreparably damaged by medical ignorance. Even if she makes a full recovery no one can replace a lost childhood and all that encompasses💔Conditions #Pans#Pandas need correct treatment guidelines #PansPandasHour
UK research is still desperately needed and long overdue. The narrative of denial needs to end! The controversial tag needs removing. Not rare just rarely diagnosed #PansPandasHour
Really great to see the fantastic @DrNighatArif raising awareness of @PandasPans on @thismorning - a great section on what to look out for with this awful virulent strain #StrepA
Hugely debilitating #PANDAS is linked with #StrepA infection - we need more awareness among public and healthcare professionals of the risks and the symptoms to look out for

National uptick in scarlet fever - will there be a uptick in acute onset neuropsychiatric symptoms in the next months? #PANDAS needs talking about in national news - all parents need to know the possible complications associated with a strep infection @LaurenPelley @PandasPans
I struggle to understand how #Pans#Pandas is still thought controversial by some,how medics can ignore,misdiagnose & gaslight those suffering.There is much evidence around infections triggering neuropsych symptoms,brain inflammation,& immune dysfunction #PansPandasAwareness2022
Adam Gushansky set up a conference about #PANS#PANDAS /AE for his senior project. This is his Ted Talk where he discussed the genius project & his journey throughout the process

I created this documentary to help all the families who are lost, confused and struggling with PANS/PANDAS. And raise awareness to those parents who have no idea or may have a child unknowingly suffering from it. You are not alone 💓 #PANSPANDASHour

The way cyp with #Pans#Pandas r treated is awful. The delay in diagnosis and appropriate treatment makes treating the symptoms harder. 3 yrs on our daughter is in a better place but we’re not out of the woods. Histamines are causing a flare at present #PansPandasHour
