Healing for Hoes

In a wild turn of events, we've BOTH been diagnosed with ADHD in our 30s! Hear about how Em's doing, get the update on Luke's PANS adventure (nightmare), and hear how we found out that we both have ADHD and apparently always have. Women getting diagnosed in their thirties is apparently more common than you might think.

Happy Wednesday, Friends! In this episode we talk about the process of deconstructing our faith. "Faith Deconstruction" is defined as: taking apart and examining our practices and beliefs to determine their truthfulness, usefulness, and impact. We discuss how we were raised and how we hope to raise our own children in regards to their faith.

Aly & Emily discuss IVIG for PANDAS & PANS and Aly tells all the details of Luke's first (maybe only?) experience with IVIG! As always we also discuss how we've been healing from our Lyme Disease & PCOS, what media we've been enjoying recently, what we've been eating & more! Thanks for hanging out with us today : ) 3 days out Luke has had no side effects from IVIG, other than some bad night terrors after the second night. The following night was back to normal. The 4th night he had a bad headache. Staying very well hydrated helped with the symptoms! As did the steroids. TRIGGER WARNING: discussion of suicidal ideation + homicidal ideation in young children. Depression is a common symptom of PANS. Suicidality has been reported in 40% of the patients who are diagnosed with PANDAS. Impulsive/dangerous behavior (60%), homicidal ideation (19%) and life threatening violence (14%) are also reported. It's not good, hoes :( Success rates of IVIG per Dr. K: • 78% success rate ( Success defined by: 75% symptom improvement, resumption of normal academic, social & family life) • 12.7% of patients require a second treatment within the first year • 24% relapse rate in the two years following initial treatment • 70% of patients needing additional treatments had either not adhered to the post-treatment antibiotics or had a case of break-through strep Please submit questions, comments or suggestions to HealingForHoes@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram @HealingForHoes https://www.instagram.com/healingforhoes/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/healingforhoes LINKS: • Dr. Kovacevic: https://youtu.be/RCobb6IonmI • Dr. K's email address: mkovacevic@aol.com • Luke's fave treehouse video LOL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSQirnCMH5o • Blackstone: https://www.acehardware.com/departments/outdoor-living/grills-and-smokers/gas-grills/8338220?store=03397&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmtGjBhDhARIsAEqfDEf8TyuXaRyGK1wKTr76v3H12RLPqfb5LN_Yqb5MglrKjwKHsfbIV8YaAgKCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds • The BEST Black Bean Burgers: https://showmetheyummy.com/black-bean-burger-recipe/ • HotworXXX: https://www.hotworx.net • Luke's PANS Provider: https://www.iowaspecialtyhospital.com/doctors/karn-johansen-pa-c-johansen • PANS/PANDAS Documentary, My Kid Is Not Crazy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJQT9-cQwIw Music by Slip.stream - Overu "Chill With You" - https://slip.stream/tracks/1df7d9e4-dc67-43fb-9f84-f48a8a0ca8d2 Aly & Emily are imperfect vegans, homeschooling moms, and sisters, who are raising four littles side-by-side.

Aly & Emily discuss PTSD and how it can manifest for PANS/PANDAS parents... apparently it's not just for war veterans! Who knew? Aly talks in depth about her PTSD "avoidance" symptoms and how it's starting to impact life in a negative way. We go very in depth with this one particular presentation but another big way that PTSD comes up for me is when one of the kids begins a tantrum, my heart starts racing, it becomes difficult to breath, etc. Even when my brain is saying "this is fine! it's just a normal toddler tantrum!" my body is already on a one-way-train to panic city ◡̈ We can discuss that one another time! Hopefully these experiences can help you understand some of your own trauma reactions a bit better, or at least provide you with some laughs.

Aly & Emily discuss their breastfeeding journeys, which varied greatly among the four kids. We discuss tandem nursing, pumping, nursing aversion, and the phrase "fed is best". One thing we forgot to bring up when recording this episode was breastfeeding & Lyme: Lyme CAN be transferred through breastmilk! This is something to be aware of if you're in the family planning stage of life. However, Aly's LLMD has discussed this extensively with her and said he believes the benefits of breastfeeding far outweigh the risks, so nursing should be continued as long as possible regardless of potential Lyme transfer. Aly believes her Lyme disease was likely passed through the placentas during the kids' pregnancies. The transfer rate through the placenta is much higher than through breastmilk. Happy nursing, friends!

Aly & Emily have a conversation with Gracie Ditch, now 24, who was the first female diagnosed with PANDAS in Iowa (or at least one of the first... no way to verify)!

Aly explains why they gave their dog up in the midst of the PANS/PANDAS crisis. Emily helps to explain how Ernie had "the greatest rise and fall of any dog in history." Giving up Ernie was not an easy decision to make, but we felt we had no choice. Thankfully he is with a good home now and we still see him regularly.

Emily & Aly discuss their experiences as stay-at-home-moms, working moms, and work-from-home moms. Pros? Cons? What's next for us? We also talk a bit about kid sleep and creating boundaries in the otherwise boundary-free-zone that is parenthood. We are SO grateful to have the opportunity to stay home with our children and not miss out on any milestones or precious moments. That said, it's not the cake walk we thought it would be.

In this episode Aly & Emily discuss getting Luke back to baseline after having PANS for three years as well as lyme disease, which he was born with. We did this with the help of his amazing clinician, Karn Johansen, PA-C. Find her here: https://www.iowaspecialtyhospital.com/doctors/karn-johansen-pa-c-johansen & https://www.medmaps.org/clinician-directory/ia/clarion/karn-johansen/ Or find a local MAPS provider here: https://www.medmaps.org/clinician-directory/ (To become a patient, Karn requires one in-person appointment before moving to telehealth visits. We drove several hours to see her and it was definitely worth it!) -- Please submit questions, comments or suggestions to HealingForHoes@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram @HealingForHoes https://www.instagram.com/healingforhoes/ -- LINKS: omitted this episode due to character limit, sorry! -- OUTLINE: How We Got Luke Back To Baseline in Less Than 6 Months (This was the path that worked for us. Every case is different.) A) At the time we first met with Karn we had already: • Read 2 books on P/P • Tested positive for Lyme through an iGenex test • Started daily journaling about a month beforehand, tracking: • Made a list of infections to be sure to test for at initial appt B) At our initial appointment we: • Had a list of questions prepared (& at every future visit!) • Scheduled weekly telehealth appointments for several weeks out • Karn started Luke on the necessary medications, vitamins, supplements, and melatonin! C) We saw our LLMD, Dr. Charles Crist in Ashland, MO • In addition to antibiotics, etc, we started Luke on every optional treatment we could afford, such as LDA + allergy drops D) We continued tracking daily in a planner which meds/supplements were making a visible difference in Luke's symptoms • Continued meeting with Karn weekly until she suggested otherwise • At this point we realized we would meet our deductible and OOP max so we did all the tests and procedures that could possibly be helpful: - Allergy testing with a local allergist - Electrodermal Screening with Dr. Shannon White at Chiro in Motion (Des Moines, IA) - MRI - EEG - Met with a local ENT (Dr. Ryan Dempewolf) and gold Luke's tonsils and adenoids removed. This was a simple surgery but took about a week of recovery. • Every week with Karn we would go over which symptoms were still an issue and address what we could add in to help, and see what we could remove from Luke's routine that wasn't helpful E) Once he was somewhat healed and more stable we could address: mold + parasites • Mold - ERMI tested our house with Envirobiomics (many think these tests are oversensitive) -Mycotox Panel on Luke through Great Plains Laboratory, ordered by Karn (neither of these were covered by insurance) • Parasites - Over the counter pinworm treatment - Para1 from CellCore - Ivermectin through our LLMD F) Decided to switch schools for the following school year & move to a different house, for a fresh start environmentally and emotionally. Most doctors would not recommend this but we knew it was the right move for us :) G) Added in the anitpsychotic, Risperdal (Risperidone) after first testing out other SSRIs such as Zoloft. This was necessary to calm a dangerous level of impulsivity, and the last step to getting Luke back to his baseline!
