Words Fail Me… (and hospitals fail us….)
I honestly don’t know what to title this post. It is with a heavy heart that I have been following the story of a little girl, also diagnosed with PANDAS/PANS and Lyme, named Elizabeth Wray. Elizabeth has been taken from her parents by Boston Children’s Hospital, for their refusal to commit her to a locked … Read more
Medicine Chest… and Beyond!
By request, a look inside our medicine chest. (And that rhymes!) Actually, it’s a hall closet and a tri-fold mirror cabinet in the bathroom. And some of two shelves in the fridge. And some cabinet space in the kitchen. Can you see why this is one of the only areas in my home that stays … Read more

Squashing Strep
We have strep again. This is the third time (or maybe fourth… I’m losing count) that we have tested this summer, and each time positive. (Insert gigantic depressed sigh here.) While this diet is doing many great things for us, the one thing it doesn’t seem to be helping is our resistance to strep infections. … Read more
