Across the world, today is #PANS#PANDAS awareness day. My son developed #PANS in December 2018. I will never forget the day and time it first presented itself. I did not know at that time how his and his family's lives would be irrevocably changed 🧵
Right now, my son is doing well. This is because of the help I found via the support network gathered around the UK #PANS#PANDAS charity, PANS PANDAS UK @PandasPans
#PANS#PANDAS are conditions with relatively "simple" treatment approaches. Appropriate & timely treatment is stopped by a lack of knowledge by the clinical population & by a small but influential population of clinicians who decline to treat them. Fig Swedo 2017
Been experimenting with a brief monthly round-up of publications (peer-reviewed & media articles) that may be interest #PANS#PANDAS community. Small scale stuff, but there may be scope to turn this into a mail list so all the links would conveniently arrive in your inbox 1/n
March's round-up illustrated in the two jpegs above. Thank you @np9000 for being my wingman!
OCD in Pans/Pandas in Children: In Search of a Qualified Treatment; a Systematic Review & Metanalysis. Cocuzza, et al. Children 9, no. 2 (2022). dx.doi.org/10.3390/childr… #PANS#PANDAS 2/n

This well-considered & positive document provides guidance to social workers (SW) to enable them to adopt professional curiosity & respond ethically to FII concerns. The following points are some that I feel are relevant to #PANS#PANDAS#LongCovid#MECFS#EDS communities 2/20
lt is recommended SW need to be aware of the lack of evidence for currently used indicators for FII & perplexing presentations and the high incidence of these indicators identifying children where illness is neither fabricated or induced #PANS#PANDAS#MECFS#EDS#LongCovid 3/20
