June 25, 2024Season 1 Summer Rewind: Episode #6 Chasing a Diagnosis
As the Mom & Doc Talk Podcast takes a break over the summer, we are excited to re-air some of our most popular episodes! In episode #6 "Chasing a Diagnosis", Jody shares all of the steps she took to get a diagnosis of PANS. It took a lot of doctors, a lot of medications, and some seriously challenging things for Jody.

Some of the things we cover are:
Expecting to see answers on an MRI and bloodwork

Asking for help from a provider that doesn’t “believe” in PANDAS or denies that it is real, even when there are positive tests for an infection with no typical signs of an infection

Providers still denying it, even when the antibiotics they prescribed get rid of all symptoms

Finding out a cough was a tic

Never-ending referrals to more specialists who don’t have answers but won’t talk about PANDAS

Never-ending antibiotics that have diminishing returns

Jody felt like maybe she was crazy and nothing was wrong, especially as doctors kept offering her excuses for why these sudden changes in her daughter were normal

Tonsils and adenoids and whether to remove them

Being told she didn’t have PANDAS even when strep was found and titers were elevated

Deciding to do the Cunningham panel (more details in the next episode!)

The frustration of seeing all the different providers and treating everything as if they were separate issues even though they came on all together

The challenge of taking a kid who could “hold it together” in the doctor’s office, making it look like Jody was crazy or making things up, and getting accused of Munchausen-by-proxy

• Is there any way to affect global change as far as teacher training/understanding of PANS/PANDAS?

How PANS/PANDAS flares can be impacted by allergies & seasonal changes

The delicate balance between needing to medicate (suppress) allergy symptoms and also needing to see clear symptom expression for symptom reporting

The importance of explaining symptoms and modalities in as much detail as you can (Examples included!)
