  • "I'm Still In Here": Cat and Brandi on Late Onset PANDAS

    "I'm Still In Here": Cat and Brandi on Late Onset PANDAS
    Oct 1 2026
    PANS/PANDAS is usually diagnosed in young children, and it usually arrives with OCD or tics. Cat and Brandi's stories don't follow that script. Both were teenagers when symptoms took hold, both watched their bodies and personalities change in ways their doctors couldn't explain, and both spent years being told that what was happening to them wasn't real. In this episode of Flying Through Fog, Krystal and Angela talk with Cat and Brandi about what it's like to lose yourself and know it's happening. We get into what late onset changes about the experience, the particular damage done by a positive test that no one will act on, and the shame that settles in when you start believing the person you become in a flare is who you actually are. Cat and Brandi also talk about what helped, what they want from the people closest to them, and the friendship and advocacy work that grew out of all of it.

  • PANDAS Doesn't Stop at 18: Three Young Adults on Diagnosis and Advocacy

    PANDAS Doesn't Stop at 18: Three Young Adults on Diagnosis and Advocacy
    Sep 24 2026
    The P in PANS/PANDAS stands for pediatric, and that single word shapes how patients get treated long after childhood. Meet Kirk, Emily and Lily from the National PANS/PANDAS Youth Alliance. They talk with us about what it's like to live with a condition most doctors still associate only with small children. Each of them were diagnosed as children, but they had different journeys and different experiences, which shows how vastly different each individual's experience with PANS or PANDAS truly is. Kirk, Emily and Lily talk about how differently PANS/PANDAS presents from person to person, how tick-borne infections play a role, and how relapse can arrive years after a treatment that seemed to work. They also talk about the National PANS/PANDAS Youth Alliance, how they advocate for themselves and other people living with PANS/PANDAS and what they're pushing for legislatively.

  • Why Kids Hide Their OCD Thoughts for Years: Lynn and Brady's Story

    Why Kids Hide Their OCD Thoughts for Years: Lynn and Brady's Story
    Sep 17 2026
    OCD and tics are two of the most common ways PANS/PANDAS shows up, and neither one tends to look the way parents expect. In this episode, teens Lynn and Brady describe what it actually felt like growing up with PANDAS: the fear of shiny objects, being called names by classmates who don't understand your tics and intrusive thoughts that convinced them something was deeply wrong with who they were. This conversation gets into why so much of what PANS/PANDAS kids experience stays hidden for years. Kids assume their intrusive thoughts mean something about them, so they don't tell anyone, and parents read their behavior as ordinary anxiety. This episode covers the difference between anxiety and OCD, why curiosity works better than problem solving, the shame that keeps kids silent, and the single reframe that helps the most: if a thought horrifies you, that's evidence it isn't you. This episode includes discussion of intrusive thoughts, including sexual and harm-themed OCD, and bullying.
