    When Strep Hijacks Your Child's Brain: One Family's PANDAS Journey
    Sep 29 2025
    What happens when a simple strep infection transforms your child into someone you don't recognize? Flying Through Fog dives deep into the hidden world of PANS/PANDAS — a condition where common infections trigger autoimmune responses that attack the brain, causing sudden personality changes, severe anxiety, and behavioral issues that leave families desperate for answers. In our first episode, meet our hosts Krystal Vivian and Lindsey Forsyth. Lindsey shares the story of how her son, age 7 at the time, went from being an "even-keel" kid to experiencing daily meltdowns, irrational fears, and emotional breakdowns. She had no idea what to do — but then a conversation with a school nurse changed everything.
