- When a twelve-year-old Sammy and his family move to a new home, he developed bizarre habits such as refusing to sleep in his bed, wanting the lights on all day and hopping instead of walking. Sammy's mum takes him to a psychiatrist and psychologist to help deal with his issues but is shocked to learn that her son is actually suffering from a rare autoimmune disorder called paediatric autoimmune disorders associated with strep (PANDAS). Plus, energetic Lynda Fox is rushed to hospital when she has a sudden inflammation in her eyelids that eventually spreads to her entire face and causes her to have an anaphylactic shock.
People suffering from illnesses un or misdiagnosed, discuss their journey to finding a diagnosis.

Move in to a new house, sweet son refuses to sleep in his bed and displays terrifying behaviours, i would think i was in a horror film, poor family, I'm glad he's ok
This was starting to sound like it hey
Sammy's grandmother didn't hesitate when his mom called for help. Props to granny!
I hate the editing of this show. It is overdramatic and annoying as hell. But I love the weirdass stories.
Youll get use to it

No wonder some people think that possession is real.
it is a possession.. possessed by strep bacteria 😥
That's what I thought for a second at first 😂
yeah....except this is caused by strep bacteria
Reason
I have pandas... and what you said is mean ;c
But I don’t hop...
But I do struggle with a lot
It’s very hard..
I don’t think Reason was being mean
Think about it, in a small town on the 60s, a boy starts behaving like the boy from the documentary
Everyone would think he was possessed
I've kind of accepted the blinking thingie now. I might have even gotten attached to it as well. I would miss it if it goes away.
Ikr 😂 im so used to it that it would seem weird if they'd change it (its still kinda cringy tho)
I straight up went to the comment section bc I was looking for a eye blinking comment 😂😂
Mahrukh Farooq I would never miss it, it’s piss taking
tics is actually very charming
Haha! I don't really watch these videos, just listen to them while I'm doing something else. But the very few instances I look at the screen and see the blinking thingies make me cringe really hard. 😬😬😬😬😬
Thank God Sammy is now fine..
69 likes so I'm not gonna like 😏

When they mentioned the whole running on hands and feet , acorn throwing, shouting at the squirrel and grasping his hands I thought he was turning into a squirrel 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣

When i see the title of the vid I suddenly remember my little brother Ryland whos been diagnosed with PANDAS.
I still remember the time when Im 13 and hes 10.He acting weird like this and sometimes he go into my room and just stare at me like a demon just possessed him for 10 mins, and then go back to his room and do it again and again every single day.
My mom and my dad literally so concerned about him and every single night they cry
About 7 months after taking a lot of medication,tears and concerned he come back normal like theres NOTHING has happening to him.He didn’t even remember anything from the time he has PANDAS.Thank god.
Right now Ryland is 22 and one of my great models and a successful person.I love him so much
Hiiii
I'm glad he's ok now 😊
So it means he didn't remember 7 months of his life? If I can ask...
@@dodoismus369 i dont remember my first 11 years of live(only some short episodes)its not unusual.
PANDAS and maybe on set autism because some of the symptoms of PANDAS can be the same as autism
Frustrating how these doctors and psychologists just stay with their own expertise and not look further. What happened to doing blood tests and basic care. Just give them meds without understanding. She should have taken him to regular Drs as well. Once the pediatrician got to him, finally there was the answer. Would have rained hell on the psych for not doing due diligence.
Yes and no - The psychologist and psychiatrist were operating within their bounds, and acted based on the symptoms that were presented to them. A psychologist can't order blood tests, and it's impossible to know what went down in their sessions without being there.
I can't imagine how frustrated and helpless the mother and Sammy must have felt, it's such a blessing that they found that specialist!
Nona Cee yes I’d agree the psychologist isn’t ideal for medical diagnosis but the psychiatrist should have been more vigilant they are trained medical physicians. However in my experience they rarely think outside the mind and look for underlying disorders I would be seeking to get that shrink retrained. I had very negative experience with a psychiatrist telling me my child had ADHD and give him Ritalin and failing to diagnose his autism which of course doesn’t respond to stimulants
Nona Cee, I know it’s cynical, but I can’t help but think that this psychiatrist and psychologist weren’t particularly motivated to look for causes outside their field of expertise; the US health system encourages doctors to keep patients as long as possible. The mother must’ve paid them an absolute fortune! Imagine a family that didn’t have the financial means to get help; the outlook would be terrible! I live in England, and we have a national health service. It’s far from perfect, but nobody dies for want of money to pay for medical treatment.
I find that really odd. In Australia you have to go to a gp doctor before you can see any other doctors or specialists.
Blaise Payne, same here in the UK.
This video needs more comments for me to read
Me too😂😁
You me both
Is it me who only thought sammy was 16? For someone who's 20 he looks very young!!
was i the only one annoyed when the lady's friend only concern about the lady was that it was contagious?
It's annoying but honest
The psychologist sounds like he doesn’t know what he’s talking about
Most psychologists don’t know what they’re talking about 😂🤣
It's more an art than a science, lol
In the uk we first go to our GP, family dr, he refers you a specialist appropriate to your symptoms, if The specialist decides you need to see another consultant, all blood works will have been done on your first hospital visit, medications for young, or elderly or those suffering from a chronic life threatening disease like diabetes are free, if not in these categories there is a standard charge. This darn NHS, no wonder America isn't interested, (joke). Save our NHS.
Totally agree, I think we are so lucky to have our NHS, I can't believe how I hear so many people complain about it but I have only ever been treated really well and with care, if I'm ever I'll then all I have to do is go across the road and my family GP is right there and then if he thinks I need to see anyone else then we get refered by him we are very lucky in England
@@kenella74 well said i was in intensive care 2 weeks ago i had a stomache pain that got worse got an ambulance was admitted and found i have strep. Bless our NHS i could have died.
I love the NHS they help me keep my thyroid hormones in control. As I have a life long disease I get a medical exemption certificate that means I get all prescriptions for free.
Hi Tara, I do agree that they could be better when it comes to mental health and they aren't perfect but I think overall they do a great job and imagine what it would be like if we didn't have them, I can't imagine what it must be like living in a third world country and one of my children being really poorly and being told you have to pay to make them better and not having any money, or even worse being told we don't have any medicine to help at all, this happens a lot, but not for us in England thank god, that's where I feel most blessed to have them x
In the NHS nearly killed me and my unborn baby. I had to go abroad to save baby and me. Refuse to diagnose my son with Asperger's which I knew since my baby was born. Abroad again diagnosed. Cancer throat abroad too. Etc etc
Psychologist: "oh you shouldn't be worried unless it's interfering with you life"
Mom: "well is is interfering"
Psychologist: "oh don't think too much of it"

Put ever thing at the foot of the cross.C.R.P.
Well he's done everything he could, what else is there?
mom:”put him in a group home”
I'm actually so happy for Beth and Sammy. That must've been such a tough year.
Yeah
the boy who acted Sammy's part, did it very well indeed.
My daughter has O C D, and Autism many of her behaviours were so similar to this kid and worse! She's on meds now which helps, now she is 19 and past puberty she has calmed down a lot.
there is no meds for Autism it cant be treated or cured signed ME a person with Aspergers
What medication does your daughter take?
Just curious
@@happyhorse1028 Sertraline, It does help with the OCD.
@@ironmaidyn my son was on that.
autism is not a mental illness.
You are a mum in a million.I do admire you. I am so pleased that things are more normal .God bless you and all your family. 🏆
This psychiatrist and psychologist both need their license revoked. Dreadful
I could not be happier for Sam and his family. What an awful and strange ordeal to have to go through. Amazing people 🥰
Who else is addicted to these story's
Stories, dear, stories. Not story's.
6:32 From this point, wouldn’t the physiatrist notice him being weird? A 12 year old playing with blocks on the floor??
And I realised that the mum doesn’t open her mouth while talking. She keeps her teeth together. Isn’t that a weird thing too??
Sakura Yasuda yeah he’s a bit old for that
Blocks are like really basic Lego so it’s debatable whether he’s too old for it
Juliette Hanna 🙄🙄🙄
What an amazing mama!
@Oh My Mod Who knows, who cares? That mother is more than enough for those kids!
That psychologist was ludicrous.
Who else is watching the video while scrolling down the comments and writing this. 👍
I've heard of Pandas and I'm not a clinician.
Incredible the boy had hadn't even been sent for a brain scan, never mind blood tests which could have identified strep even without prior suspicion of Pandas.
Just illustrates the old rule... if you ask a psychiatrist he'll insist on a psychiatric diagnosis. A behavioural specialist will insist it's a behavioural diagnosis. A cardiac specialist will find some some cardiovascular explanation. And not one of them will make use of their colleagues!
Until you finally get the ONE decent doctor who isn't controlled by arrogance. (And BTW that's likely to be a woman - have you noticed these cases are almost always solved by women?)
I empathise with Linda. I suffered from chronic idiopathic urticaria for eight years. I was on corticosteroids the entire eight years. They saved my life but also produced the most awful side effects. The cause of my urticaria was eventually discovered, not by the vast numbers of doctors, specialists and tests over the years and the tens of thousands spent but by an iridologist who didn’t charge me a cent. He saved my life. I was symptom free a month later and 12 years later I still am. Doctors don’t know everything
What are the side effects you are talking about?
I too have to take corticosteroids
Yeah I don't get how they investigated allergies and left it at that. It seemed like a clear-cut diagnosis to me. Anaphylactic shocks in association with a non-contact dermatitis immediately point to an auto-immune component. The link with the menstrual cycle points to an auto-immune reaction against hormones. You don't just keep a patient on steroids if the condition persists, cause steroids are no joke. You keep investigating.
Doctors dont know much. They are only "practicing" on people.
Linda surprised me. She is a clever woman, and she started to research her problem almost since the first day, I think not each of us would do it so quickly. And she did her best in order to know that had been happening to her. She is wonderful. And yeah, her husband is really lucky c^:
I have pans/pandas and it sucks, i get bloodtransfusions every month
I hope you are doing well at the moment and continue to do so. Sending best wishes. X
I hope u will get better
Good luck and get well soon
My prayers😘
Hope you get better 💙
Not related to anything, I feel really bad for Sammy but he's beautiful!
Yes he really is
Am I the only one who is sitting here thinking bout demon possession ?
ghosts and demons don't exist. get real
yes you are.
Nope..
Thats very rude
M... No
The dramatic blinking just makes me giggle at the most inappropriate times.
Is it this channels thing to do the dramatic blinking?????
Lolol yes
Haha typical, eye blink plus dramatic music :D
I feel like her mum should get a prize for helping out
I suffered something similar. When I was pregnant I was told I had dermatitis, but what I actually had was polymorphic eruption of pregnancy (pep)
PANDAS is such a cute name for a disease, but I felt so bad for Sammy. He seemed to be so hurt when he had the disease
There is also the variation as PANS, one is in adulthood and one in childhood if I'm right..
I have hives and go into shock from a rice intolerance... I suffered for years thinking it was a wheat allergy... It certainly helps to keep a personal journal......
This is why you get a doctor to send u to a psychologist and not just go straight to a psychologist
I keep thinking..where was the father all this time?
it is always the mother 💖
Irene Ralte I second u on that 🤔
In cali 😂
Enjoying himself in California 😜
in California apparently
God always blesss u sammy..I wish all happiness & success in Life.
That kids mother or the actress who is doing it is talking though her teeth a lot. It's really off putting.
So I'm not the only person this bothered!
IckleBloo ikr
agreed
I'm wondering if maybe her teeth or dentures just don't fit in her mouth
Its like her jaw has been wired shut at one point maybe ? Walking around talking threw my teeth now 😂
Lucky those who are not live in the Philippines, thousands of lives lost because of faith healers. If that in the Philippines, they will burn that new house because of bad spirit.
The psychologist is just unacceptable..
i love watching these videos, as my mum had a very rare diagnosis herself always good to learn :)
Watch this at x1.5 speed. Makes the melodrama less and the enjoyment more!
Was i the only one thinking about bird box when he was closing his eyes while walking outside and touching the trees?
Thanks for sharing
I'm thankful today !
i love humble and sensitive kids
I'm glad we are hearing about Sammy's case in Mystery Diagnosis, and not Ghost Adventures.
👀
Its jinn possession
I’m so *TRIGGERED* right now! These doctors, and stuff, are useless! *USELESS.* 😂 Bless those who actually use their brain, and read the clues.
Loving mum
💓💓💓
Today in another episode of dramatic blinks
*dramatically blinks* -_-
Ahahahah love this
This is the fourth or 5th episode I've watched involving various antibodies meant to target specific infections that inexplicably end up attacking the brain... madness! (slow blink) >
I too noticed that and now i am like if there anything wrong with your skin abd brian, its antibidies doing it
Yep I definitely taught he had ocd myself cuz I do too and those r my symptoms except like the moving and actions
I watched this last night before i sleep.. and i had a sleep paralysis.. the worst part is the boy (sammy) is trying to kill me 😂
just try not to sleep on your back :)
Yaahh... Maybe i was just scared or something 😂
😱 sleep paralysis is so scary.
It is.. 😥
I really feel I have to add some information about OCD as here the information gives a false idea. I myself was a severe case of OCD and did behavioral therapy over a year. There are medication that help you defeat your urges to do this behaviors. BUT you need to do behavioral therapy! you can just take medication and it goes. OCD is learned behaviour you need to understand what happens in your brain and what happens if you resist the urges. The therapie is basically learning and understanding, the medicin is just a help in the progress.
If someone is suffering of OCD syptoms please go to a specialis for OCD! The behavioral therapy is crucial. You can defeat it with the right help!
The right help is not just medication...
All I’ve learned from this series is the US has terrible doctors
Difference between the good doctors and insufficient doctors
People that have commented on the way the NHS works. Quite often our gp's are so overworked, or sometimes just plain arrogant, they have little time to consider diagnosis outside their immediate knowledge. Pandas does not always show up in blood-work as easy as this case. So the gp would probably have referred them to CAMHS (Children's and Adolescents Mental Health Service or Community paed, depending on your area this can take anything from a few months to a few years. My daughter is diagnosed (ASD) when we moved our paed tried to refer my daughter on as transference of care. In my new area CAMHS deals with this stuff. Six months we are still to even get an appointment, when we do it will prob take a few months to see them. My own GP commented "lets face it we don't have a service". Our friends have children with Pandas, unfortunately the answer isn't always as straightforward as it was in this case either. I have heard of one woman who when she suggested to GP PANDAS and presented lots of evidence and research the doctor said yes I know all about PANDAS they live in forests and eat bamboo. The neurologists who deal with PANDAS in the uk still do not seem as forward thinking as in the US and are not willing to try the same medications. AS much as I am truly grateful for a free health service it really isnt working for millions of people
phyllis lucky Thankyou people don't seem to understand this. GPs can be incredibly overworked and really r not taught so much out of the box thinking
Moms are always great
Betty is a very brave mother!😊😊
Strep infection caused me Rheumatoid arthritis when i was kid.
I would have sent him to a doctor instead of a psychologist.
That's hopping mad....
I hop he had a speedy recovery...
If i were the mom, I would think that Sammy was haunted/semi possessed by something dirty in the new house. Am I the only one?
supernatural vibes....
Same..
Ming Xuan Chia yep
I hope you are, if you're suggesting you'd assume supernatural forces are responsible and not something easily explained by the proper specialists... It's a very fine line between that and gay kids being exorcised, or cancer patients thinking they'll cure themselves by eating the right foods.
@@thisiscait not really. There's a big difference between being dumb and believing in other forces.
I have bletheritis. It started when I was 12 because it usually flares up because of hormone changes. Being a woman, I literally can get an eye infection more than once a month. I have to put steroid eye drops 4 times a day and hot flannels 2 times a day. My eyesight is extremely bad. I would give anything to get my life back.
I often consider this, that so much is unknown or rare about human health, and what gets treated as mental illness, is really a physical pathology.
Just stay healthy forever and ever after recovery.
I'm so thankful to this video .. i get allergy daily without any reason... Medication help me but the day i stop taking meds ..it's starts again..
Been checked for Mast Cell Activation Disorder/Syndrome?
In the comment section of these videos we can see „hindsight bias“ at work:
If you know the eventual outcome already, you tend to judge everything that has lead up to it with that outcome in mind, regardless of the data and information available at the time of the incident as well as any other personal backgrounds. And of course with all the information present it is easy to point fingers and call people incompetent.
As they say...hindsight is always 20/20.
I had no idea it was a concept.
But it really is annoying, suddenly everyone in the comments is a doctor that is aware of the existence of these extremely rare diseases 🤔
Like in one episode a girl experienced hair loss and the doctors turned it away due to stress. So many people in the comments were questioning the doctors credibility.... but seriously? Alopecia is a really common hair loss disease that is caused by stress, if they attributed such a symptom to an extreme disease such as what it was (I can’t remember what it was) then there’d be a lot of misdiagnosis and an expense of lots of money and resources... smh
I’m proud he manage to go back to normal ;)
There's Sammy with bangs and without, why did they need 2 actors?
I often wonder whether these psychologists actually are trained or have any degrees whatsoever, they want to keep the patient and make lots of money from it!!
No I don't think that's the case at all. They aren't trained in blood work or viruses, nor can they do those kinds of tests, so they acted on the symptoms that were presented to them (which are very close to those of OCD and Tourettes). There were no standard symptoms of strep, so it was well outside their area of specialty. Most psychologists and psychiatrists are reluctant to prescribe medications unless symptoms are affecting day to day life, in which case it becomes necessary. People also respond differently to medications, so trying medications over the course of six months or so is pretty standard.
There's no lack of people seeking assistance with their mental health, and keeping them on for a very long time would deter people from seeing those specialists, so it would be a very ineffective way to operate... Are there bad eggs? Absolutely, as there are in any area of work. Were these people bad? No, I don't think so.
Sadly most aren’t medically trained and don’t think of physiological reasons to explain they just think it’s all psychological so because that was what they were trained in
by given pills to a patient, dragging the illness out to the max
@@fern8088 Psychiatrists do.
@@thisiscait Have you studied Psychology (with a respected college)? Since they usually study the biological and "evolutionary" aspects of Psychology. Nowadays, there are very important factors such as neuroscientific and imaging methods that are studied in depth. And I do mean registered Psychologists.
Bravos the last doctor 👩⚕️ she recognise disease disorder 👌👌
This is sad hope they are ok now
my daughter is also diagnosed with OCD. she’s been attending occupational therapy for years. but because of the pandemic we have to stop
her therapy because occupational therapy is so expensive😔
Sorry to hear that,best wishes to you and your loved ones from Norway 🌈
17:20 Broke my heart :(
Same of kawasaki ... i am so greatfull my kid is ok .. the most scary thing is to hear that they dont know why there body react this way
Sammy is lucky to be cured. There are so many special needs kids out there with OCD, Autism, Tourettes etc who can't be cured and have to live the symptoms for the rest of their lives.
Autism isn't something you can cure... OCD and Tourettes are also things that can't be cured but treated with medication and a psychiatrist.
People learn how to work with it and can live a normal life through medication and therapy.
You can't cure Autism
Amount of bio i learnt from dis channel is more than my skool hope linda and sammy are well now
no wonder people think demons are real. i mean, to common peoples, it just looks like he was possessed. i would think the same too tbh.

Sending him back to school was so dumb. It's so traumatizing. Probaby made it so much worse.
But it was "the best place for him" 🙄🤦
this poor kid :( He's so upset
What is with the dramatic blink?
The people in this program must have the loudest blinks in the world 😂
Such a great mother!
As for the Psychiatrist saying it was OCD....this Psychiatrist should be fired.
He wasn't even LOOKING at the problem. He just threw out jargen he was taught to have at the tip of his tongue. No actual research or even care. Just throw this term at them, see if it sticks and see if the pills work, MONEY PLEASE!!!
It's a good thing this show DOES show REAL Doctors and Psychiatrists that actually care and can find/remove the core problem, otherwise I'd give up all faith on them
Hold on a minute.... she's wondering why a psychiatrist (who isn't a doctor) couldn't pick up on a strep infection??
I thought psychiatrists are medically trained. Even if they didn't know what it was, I think they should have referred him to a neurologist, especially since the meds they prescribed didn't work. I'm quite shocked they kept telling the mother to wait and even to "ignore" his odd behaviours... how could she? 😲
Psychiatrists are physicians specialties in psychiatry, psychologists are not physicians. At least in Germany.
They are doctors first then specialise.
A psychiatrist is a doctor, I think you’re confusing a psychiatrist with a psychologist. Psychiatry is a medical field, they can administer medications, do tests, refer to other specialists and diagnose, just like other doctors. Their specialization is just psychiatric disorders.
Do not believe he could not control himself ,he was playacting out his anxieties!!!!!
The onset in the first case was so rapid that it couldn’t be just a psycological disorder.
They should rule out physical medical conditions before they diagnose psychological problems.
Pause exactly at 14:02 the couch looks like his legs with jeans

This sounds like rheumatic fever which is quite serious. You should see your doctor because repeated episodes can cause heart valve damage.
Amazing amazing sole mum
How could such a horrible condition have an acronym that sounds like a fluffy cute animal?
