@BPNA_org my son has been horrifically affected by #PANS Antibiotics and ibuprofen have been his lifeline. A #CAMHS psychiatrist referred us to #neurology because his presentation was suggestive of underlying health concerns, yet you think Psychotropic drugs are the answer!! 😭

Remember when ‘Vaccine Passports’ for travel were first announced we were told they would be strictly temporary while Covid lasted. But now Shapps openly says they will be forever. The same, of course, would be the case for domestic vaccine passports too. #NoVaccinePassports

I wish the disbelief by professionals and the blame for various neurological issues solely to be due to anxiety was a rare occurrence but unfortunately so many receive a similar response #MECFS #pans #pandas. Devastated, reading this. @BPNA_org what are your thoughts?

Absolutely @AmySwee88869856 tics can be symptom of #Pans #Pandas & should be ruled out to make sure child is on correct treatment pathway. We need these conditions highlighting in the media along with fact that lack of correct treatment is causing unnecessary prolonged suffering

@rachyoungeritv @itvnews Important to mention #PANSPANDAS should be investigated as the cause of #tics Many children are suffering with this condition right now without any help from the #NHS @NHSuk
