Jody gives her advice on how to choose a provider that will be a good fit for you.

In this episode we talk about the utter overwhelm that Jody (and many other parents) feel trying to find a solution for their children suffering from PANS/PANDAS. How everything can feel scary and dangerous. How feeling like you need to control everything to minimize flares can just grow and grow and become a part of your own suffering. Feeling like even with all the things, the cycle of flares continues or even worsens. Feeling stuck. This episode is for you parents - we see you and how you are doing matters.
