An aqua background with the heading: What families struggling with PANS/PANDAS want you to know, followed by the text: Day 3. When we say PANS is hard, we mean it is really, really, really hard. We tend to downplay the reality of how difficult it is to protect our family member's privacy and their reputations, to avoid criticism from those who couldn't begin to comprehend how devastating this illness is, and to save ourselves and our loved ones from shame and embarrassment. Research shows that caregiver burden related to PANS is as high or higher than literally every other medical condition including those deemed devastating. We never share the full story with you. Trust that we need your kindness, validation, and encouragement desperately. neuroimmune.org. The Neuroimmune logo of a tree with magenta fruit is in the lower right corner.
A red background with the heading: What families struggling with PANS/PANDAS want you to know, followed by the text: Day 4. Those with PANS are often exceptionally sensitive to being criticized and disciplined in front of others. During a flare, they have far less control of their impulses and actions than they normally would. Those of us parenting children with PANS/PANDAS may not swiftly address rudeness or misbehavior in front of you, but trust that manners and good behavior are very important to us. We are certainly addressing the behavior when we have a moment of privacy and they've had a second to cool off and become more receptive to teaching. The fact that you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't happening or we don't care. neuroimmune.org. The Neuroimmune logo of a tree with magenta fruit is in the lower right corner.
