One Family’s Journey with PANS
It began with one child.
A sudden change.
A desperate search for answers.
But as one mother fought to bring her youngest back from the grip of an unexplainable illness, she began to see it—threads of the same unraveling woven through her family’s history. Behaviors that once seemed like teenage turmoil, emotional wounds never fully understood… all suddenly made sense.
This is the untold story of how Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) silently reshaped a family, hiding in plain sight, leaving confusion and heartache in its wake.
The Lost Seasons is a raw, honest look at what happens when love collides with medical mystery.
For every parent who has asked, What is happening to my child?
For every family who’s been told “it’s just in their head”—
this book is a lifeline.
Because sometimes, the truth doesn’t come all at once.
Sometimes, it arrives in pieces—after the storm has already passed.
Behind the Book
We thought it began with one child.
But it didn’t.
What looked like an isolated crisis became the key to unlocking decades of hidden illness.
PANS had touched us before—quietly, confusingly, with no name to call it. A sibling’s lost years. Another child’s lifelong struggle with unexplained pain and emotional chaos. It was always there. We just didn’t know how to see it.
The Lost Seasons is more than a medical story. It’s a deeply personal chronicle of three generations of one family affected by an invisible illness. An illness that nearly shattered them—and the determination and unflinching strength that helped stitch them back together.
This book was written for the ones still searching.
The ones questioning their history, their child’s behavior, their own instincts.
It’s a testament to the power of naming what was once unnamed—and to the quiet, steady bravery it takes to speak the truth when no one is listening.
