Boy's body is failing, parents discover extraordinary solution

Life has been consistently unlucky for 7-year-old Jameson Wall, an autistic Tennessee boy who was born drug-dependent and later diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder.

A series of at-home videos document years of struggles, doctor visits and hospital stays.

In one video, Jameson is shaking and crying, telling his mother, “I don’t know how to control my body!”

In other videos, Jameson is hooked up to monitors, shaking and twitching or struggling to control his arm so that he can feed himself.

Stanford Medicine identifies PANS as a dramatic onset of neuropsychiatric symptoms that can include obsessions and eating disorders thought to be “triggered by infections, metabolic disturbances, and other inflammatory reactions.”

PANDAS creates a sudden onset of neuropsychiatric symptoms like OCD or tics following a streptococcal infection, according to Stanford Medicine. Symptoms can also include uncontrollable emotions, irritability, anxiety and loss of motor skills.
