The battle with PANDAS is no joke, but there is hope. Throughout my journey, my mantra has been Never Ever Give Up. I am a fighter, a warrior, like all those with PANS/PANDAS. I have found fun ways to help me throughout my journey. For every infusion, I decorate my infusion center room with yellow butterflies, my port and IV, stuffed animals, and a wreath I made after one of my surgeries. I also wear one of my Brave Gowns and bring things to paint as well. I have also learned that you can revamp IVIG bottles into painted masterpieces or sculptures, which has been really fun, too.
