You know you're a PANDAS parent when...


Recommended Posts

* When you take two vehicles to a family event just in case you'll need to return home early.

* ALL the professionals treating your children are reduced to a one initial---Seems all the docs are B's, K's, T's or C's these days! Vowels, anyone??

* It's a bonus when the whole family attends church on a Sunday. Of course, you always sit in the back! And when you think it's a good Sunday to try a few rows further up--you'll regret you went out on a limb and tried!!

* Besides "earning" a doctorate, researcher, microbiologist degree on your journey you can add professional drywall repairman, bouncer, & couchlady (my term for counselor/therapist!) to your shingle! B)

You might be a PANDAS/PITAND parent if....

 

1) you spend more time researching auto-immune neuro-biological conditions and how to resolve them than sleeping.

2) you've become germ-phobic about your children!

3) you define a "good" day as one without a rage or other unsafe event.

4) you know more than your child's doctor about their medical condition.

5) baths/showers have become optional some days... yes, for both you and your child.

6) you *know* your child is in there amidst the chaos and will do nearly anything to rescue them and help them reclaim their health and their life!

7) you know more about other PANDAS/PITAND parents and their children than your own extended family.

8) you have ever had to restrain your child from putting hands covered in zinc oxide in her mouth because she was trying to eat it... and oh yes, how it got all over her hands (and her new slacks) is a whole other story!
