PANDAS is a real autoimmune disease, regardless of whether your neurologist “believes” in it.

I’ve heard it too many times, "my neurologist said he doesn’t ‘believe’ in PANDAS so he won’t test for it".

PANDAS and PANS are not a religion that require belief, they are scientifically proven disease states that have a specific cause and can be treated.

If you are working with a neurologist ignorant enough to practice medicine as a religion rather than a science, you should drop him ASAP.
