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
