Hi, my name’s Egypt and I’m fighting an unrecognized autoimmune disease. Some days it feels like my disease is out to get me all the time. The reason I created this website was to let other kids and adults who are suffering from this autoimmune disease know that they are not alone in this struggle. I want them to know that there is someone who understands what they are going through and plans to fight for our recognition and health!
My mom and I started this website and online store to raise awareness for autoimmune encephalitis (Pans/Pandas). We plan to use the proceeds from the shirts sales to help assist with medical expenses and hopefully help other children as we meet people like ourselves along this journey.
A message from Egypt's Mom
Imagine your bubbly and goofy 14 year old daughter explaining to you that she has been having intrusive harm and OCD thoughts and has been keeping them from you for nearly 5 years. Shock doesn’t begin to explain how a parent would feel… and to make it even more frightening, you both started having the same symptoms at the same time but kept it from each other. We decided to take action for the sake of our health. With some doctors telling us we were crazy, anxious and depressed… the blood work revealed a rare autoimmune illness that is often not recognized by the medical industry and so our uphill journey began…
